Home >> Self Esteem

You're looking fabulous today!

No, I really mean it!... :-)

Aha, yes, you've just discovered a page all about self-esteem - how could you tell? ;-)

Actually, self-esteem is a serious business.

We've all probably suffered from low self-esteem in the past...

...And we all know how much better life can be when we live it believing in ourselves and our abilities - when we have a positive physical and mental self-image of ourselves, when we have a sense of worth or inner confidence.

And the Self Help Collective is here to help if you have issues of selfesteem.

And even if you don't - you can still share your wisdom and experiences, can't you!

So what do you get on this self-esteem page? Well, this is what you get:

Achi Amaechi defines self-esteem for us in his article below.
Ysabella Brave bravely tells us all to love ourselves more via YouTube
And I say that building self-esteem is possible, if not easy, and I provide you with links to all the resources you'll need, including self-esteem tests, articles, quotations, great discussions on body image and self-image - even self esteem issues like eating disorders are discussed! (Just make sure you know what signs to look for, eh!)

And you, I'd love to know what you say?

Please tell us about the importance of loving yourself, for you - thanks!

But first, here's a smile for you... :-)

Self-esteem - what I say...

Ah, how precious is a healthy high self-esteem and how unnecessary and limiting is the low variety!

How lovely it is when we are not seeking approval all the time (as spiritual teacher, Guy Finley explains).

Still, building self-esteem is a lot easier said than done. Or it can be. I've spent the best part of my life (so far) struggling to build my self-esteem, but I have made progress; it is possible!

Yes, it takes self motivation to remove low self-esteem.

Yes, it takes self respect to improve your self image (or body image).

Yes it might even take a lot of Lego! :-) And maybe it takes a self-esteem test or two to see how bad the problem is in the first place - I don't know. (I do know that self-esteem issues come in the form of many guises - guilt, perfectionism, self-hate, thinking of others too much or not thinking of others enough, etc. - and that you should never take any 'progress' for granted!)

As I said, boosting selfesteem is not easy but it is possible, and the rewards for doing so are great indeed. (Just as long as you recognise the difference between healthy self-esteem and high self-esteem!)

"Science and psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success
or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image you have of yourself."
-- Bob Proctor

The last thing I say here?

Well, you can find more information at our self-esteem articles page, should you need it! Thanks. And if you'd like to share your symptoms of low SE you can do so here!

Now let's see what Achi Amaechi thinks of as the definition of self-esteem, shall we...

Definition of Self Esteem

self-esteem - what Achi Amaechi say...

Self-esteem can cut across a wide variety of things and concepts. It occurs in every facet of life. It is the force behind most success and failure, the force behind peak performance, successful achievement, living your dream – living your world! Self Esteem is the feeling of being happy with your character and abilities. It is manifested in a wonderful feeling of inner balance, grounded on self acceptance and a healthy, comforting self-respect towards you. This is entirely different from self confidence which is deeply rooted in what you believe you can achieve. There are several cases of self confidence acts without self-esteem.

High Self Esteem is knowing who we are and living in harmony with ourselves without needing to have the approval of others. Really, other people's opinion about yourself does not have to be your reality. The definition of self-esteem is that of a life of happiness, of sound mind, of health.

When we are happy about ourselves, not caring about what people say about us, we live a happier life, a healthier one, a more successful one - best of all, we live in peak performance. Happier lifestyle comes from within, it enables happy and relaxed cells, and it controls stress. Happy cells lead to a prolonged life expectancy which means extended period to lead an even happier life! What a great attribute if you can only come to terms with who we are, regardless of whatever any man says of you.

Remember, the life's too short to live other people's life and world. Live yours! It will take courage though, but it's worth living. It's the best.

That's it on the definition of Self Esteem. For a complete insider secret to building and increasing your self-esteem, visit http://achieveall.blogspot.com/
