Happiness, self-empowerment, satisfaction in work, good
relationships, and success are all built on a foundation of
healthy self-esteem. High self-esteem is a quiet, comfortable
feeling of acceptance and love for yourself – as you are. It
is respecting and valuing yourself as a worthwhile human being,
honestly seeing your good and not-so-good qualities, and taking
care of and nurturing yourself so you can become all that you
are capable of being. High self-esteem is characterized by
congruence between inner states (beliefs, feelings, attitudes)
and outer states (behaviors, relationships, health). A person
with high self-esteem is self-aware, takes responsibility for
life choices by being willing to pay consequences both good and
bad, and is actualizing her/his potential. She also lives from a
place of deep peace with the intention of honoring and
respecting self and all others.
Begin improving how you feel about yourself by taking the
Harrill Self-Esteem Inventory. It gives feedback where your
thinking hurts your self-esteem. Read each of the twenty-five
statements to yourself each day. They are affirmations to update
limiting beliefs and to build positive self-talk.
