It is important to realize that self-esteem is not etched in stone and it can change for the better! Self-esteem builds on itself- success nourishes your self-esteem, which motivates you to take on other goals or projects that in turn will increase your feeling of competence and personal pride. Self-esteem can help us get through difficult times and tackle obstacles. Learning to set realistic goals and being forgiving of yourself and others can begin a process of improving your self-esteem. You can also try to: • Remember that you are more than your appearance • Identify your unique strengths and abilities and build on those • Take care of your body, mind and spirit • Avoid self-critical thoughts – counter them with positive thoughts • Set realistic goals – plan an approach and then stick with the plan until you accomplish your goals • Be generous with others – volunteer and make a difference • Build a support system of people including family and friends Remember that you can always call and talk to a counsellor at Envision if you have questions about self-esteem.
