Get Your Self Esteem Back
September 2, 2008
There are many out there who have been shattered by a chance remark, whether about their appearance or their personality. But, fact of the matter is that even if a statement is wrong, if we hear it often enough, we begin to accept it as the truth.
Self-esteem has become an issue for many women as they are expected to be as rake thin as the models or Super Moms, even while handling a high profile job. But, it doesn’t make sense why one should accept another person’s judgement as gospel truth and lose faith in ourselves. Someone telling you that you are ugly or have no value, doesn’t make it true, there is no need to believe them. Don’t let it lower your self-worth or self-esteem.
Defining self-esteem is not easy, but it is about how good you feel about yourself, whether you like what you see in the mirror, take pride in your accomplishments, it is all about judging your own worth. Dr. Nemiah best defines it in his book – Foundations of Psychopathology, when he describes self-esteem as being the ‘ability to look upon yourself as having value.’
How Low Self Esteem Impacts Us
As your self-esteem lowers, you lose confidence, becoming withdrawn and unsociable and your own worst enemy. You dread meeting people, even your friends wishing you were invisible. You stress over everything, even little things and even genuine praise doesn’t seem to ring true. Low self-esteem leads to depression, in fact the World Health Organization (WHO) uses low self-worth in its description of depression.
How To Heal Yourself And Raise Your Self Esteem
You need perspective to recover or restore your sense of self-worth. Begin by zeroing in on those who love and value you. This will give you something to build on and let the healing begin. Would they love you, if you were worthless, would they value you if they did not see something worthwhile in you. That is all you need to know, before you work on raising your self-esteem and feeling that you have meaning, your life has meaning. And, you are an important cog in the wheel of the Universe!
