Let us improve our self esteem

🔰We all have different needs. As we fulfil these needs more needs arise.
Humans first aim to fulfil their basic needs. Once these basic needs are
met we aim to fulfil secondary needs and then the higher needs.

                                     Self esteem

The feeling of pride and positive evaluation about your
self will improve your self esteem.

Our abilities contribute to the development of our self esteem.
Achievements in sports will increase the self esteem in those who are
good in sports while engaging in singing, dancing and art may improve
the self esteem of others who are talented in those arts.

In addition we can improve our self esteem by using our abilities to
help others.

 

Other characteristics like honesty, kindness, patience, obeying rules,
being disciplined will improve our social acceptance by making us
more admired people and therefore improve our self esteem.

       Special abilities and characteristics which contribute to
improving self esteem                           

We can develop our self esteem by developing our abilities, and good
characteristics.

         Factors which have a positive impact on self-esteem

Whatever skills we possess, there are various factors that contribute
in earning our self-esteem. They can be divided into two as internal
factors and external factors

Internal factors (which should be cultivated by us)
❤Identifying your strengths and weaknesses – self-realization
❤Self-confidence
❤Having commitment and enthusiasm
❤Identifying your duties and responsibilities and fulfilling them        
without fail                                                                                                        

External factors
• Example and advice from parents and teachers.
• Recognition, guidance and appreciation by teachers, adults,            
parents, friends and well-wishers.
• Encouragement by way of awarding prizes and certificates.

As we improve our self-esteem, we should also think of the self-esteem
of others too. Further, we should make it a point not to do anything that
could damage others’ self esteem.

         Factors which have a negative impact on self esteem

People with good self esteem contribute positively to society. Those
with high self esteem must be conscious of the self esteem of others and
must not act in ways which will have a negative influence on the self
esteem of others as well as themselves.
Each person is unique. We have different characteristics and abilities.
Therefore we must appreciate the positive aspects of each person.

We must appreciate the good work done by all of them and treat
everyone equally.
