Let’s be frank. Developing and boosting your self-esteem will take work—lots of work. It can be difficult to shake years of bad habits, attitudes and beliefs that have kept you in a pit of low self-esteem, but it’s not impossible. I’m here to help you navigate your way to a new life- a new way of being, thinking and acting that can change your life for the better.

Many of the factors that contribute to low self-esteem come from childhood issues. That may sound like a cliché, but it’s very true. It’s during childhood when we start to get impressions of the world around us and ourselves. It’s no surprise that the opinions we form during childhood follow us into adulthood.

We take the good and the bad with us into our adolescence and then into our adult years. It’s the bad that contributes to self-esteem problems and poses the greatest threat to our self-concepts. We are only what we make of ourselves and if we don’t believe in ourselves, we won’t get very far. More on How to Boost Your Self-esteem 1-3 (intro.)

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”
- Mark Twain

Self-esteem—It’s something that every person comes equipped with. It can connect people or drive them apart. But most importantly, it’s your opinion of yourself and your capabilities as a human being in the world.

The National Association of Self Esteem (NASE) defines self-esteem as the “experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges and being worthy of happiness.”

How true that definition is.

Recently, there’s been a trend amongst psychotherapists to build self-esteem in everyone. At first, you might think that this would help people and contribute to a better world in which to live, but the effects have been quite the opposite. Studies have shown that too much self-esteem in a person can be as dangerous as too little. The trick to harnessing the power of self-esteem is to find a healthy balance of it in each individual so that they can function to their fullest potential and avoid suffering from the effects of having too much or too little.
