Every one of us is born with great self-esteem. We did nothing to get it, we were just born with it. Then someone or some event comes along and pulls the 'rug' of self-esteem from under us and then we go about the incredibly strange job of learning to unlove ourselves!

We all have an inner voice which we will be aware of throughout our day. People with low self-esteem have a critical inner voice. This voice will be criticising them throughout their whole day. Do you feel that you have low self-esteem or maybe someone has told you that you have? Have you ever tried listening to your voice? How would it feel if I asked you a few questions? Do you deserve to be happy? Are you an important person? Are you worthy of love?
Confidence can be gained. Learning how to acknowledge small successes in your life, learning how to congratulate yourself to build confidence, learning from mistakes to reinforce confidence and faking confidence till you become confident.

 Building self-esteem requires self-compassion, self-care, and a commitment to personal growth. In addition to these techniques, self-esteem can be improved by setting and achieving goals, practicing gratitude, and cultivating positive relationships. Counseling and coaching can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
