Self Esteem

What does 'self esteem' mean to you? How do you rate your level of self esteem? What suggestions do you have to improve self esteem?

  1. Self esteem to me means love for you as a person and confidence in the person you are without needing to accept the wrong things in life to feel important. Self esteem is accepting who you are and how you were created. My self esteem has ...grown so much over the years. As a small child I was teased by others and made to feel different and unworthy despite my mother telling me how beautiful and amazing I was. As I grew from a child, to a teen, then an adult woman I made very bad choices hoping those choices would help me to be accepted, we all know now, that isn’t the way. What worked for me was building a relationship with God and reading His word. Doing that helped me to realize how awesome and extraordinary I am! Now I know that I am God’s Favorite daughter and nothing will change that. Instead of looking in the mirror criticizing me I looked in the mirror and said what the Word said about me. The more I did that the better I felt about me. Then I surrounded myself with people who were excelling in life and not accepting junk, people who had positive attitudes and encouraging lifestyles. I am not where I want to be just yet but I am better than I
