Defining Self-Esteem

Before we dive deeper, let’s define the meaning of the word:

Self-esteem is our sense of self-worth, how we respect, appreciate, cherish and value ourselves, how we believe that we are worthwhile and capable. When our self-esteem creates certainty of our abilities, and we feel empowered by this to act courageously to face challenges head on, this is self-confidence. The good news is self-esteem can be built and improved in practical ways!
