"For me, building self-esteem was learning what self-esteem was in the first place. It was unlearning what I had learned about myself . I went back to self-school and learned all about me."

Hello Community!smileyI do hope each of you are as best as you can be. Today we are going to talk on Coping skills on Self Esteem Toolbox. Yep a toolbox as we all need that very special box filled with all the things that will help us with empowering our self esteem.

First what is self esteem? Self-esteem is how we value and perceive ourselves. It's based on our opinions and beliefs about ourselves, which can sometimes feel really difficult to change.

Self Esteem can affect many things like: value yourself as a person, able to make decisions and assert yourself, recognise your strengths and positives, feel able to try new or difficult things, show kindness towards yourself, move past mistakes without blaming yourself unfairly, take the time you need for yourself, believe you matter and, are good enough, believe you deserve happiness.sad

Self Esteem can affect so many important things in our lives. We need our Toolbox handy. What is this toolbox thing ? This can be a bag of things, a simple sheet of paper with positive things to coach yourself with, a favorite snack. This toolbox can hold anything you like to help you. It is something so handy that when you are feeling low- you can reach out to something soothing or some simple skills.

Discussion:

1. How do you desribe what Self-Esteem is?

2. What kinds of things do you have in your "toolbox" to help yourself?

3. Is there any positive affirmations that you tell yourself?

I describe self-esteem as how you feel about yourself.

When my body-image, in particular, is low I remind myself that my body isn't here for the aesthetics. It's here to work for me.

Self esteem is when you are proud of who you are and accept yourself no matter what other people think of you. You value yourself and keep on improving your weaknesses but also accept the things you can't improve or change.

"you are who you are and you cannot change the way you feel or act."

1. How do you describe what Self-Esteem is?

It's having the confidence to reflect on how you feel about yourself and making the improvement necessary.

2. What kinds of things do you have in your "toolbox" to help yourself?

Books, podcasts/videos, quotes.

3. Are there any positive affirmations that you tell yourself?

It's cheesy, but literally "You can only take it one day at a time or otherwise you will overwhelm yourself and give up."

1. How do you describe what self esteem is?

Self esteem encompasses the thoughts and feelings and beliefs you have about yourself, you abilities and your self worth.

2. What kinds of things do you have in your "toolbox" to help yourself?

Sadly, nothing that actuallly improves my self esteem, but I have things that can distract me like my writing, a good book and classical music.

3. Is there any positive affirmataions that you tell yourself?

Absolutely not! I tried this self-esteem improvement strategy years ago but because I didn't believe the postiive things I was saying, or how to believe them, the opposite message got reinforced. I felt worse and worse about myself and eventually I had to stop using this strategy.
