Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can negatively impact our ability to live a full and gratifying life! Women with self-esteem issues may constantly second-guess things they've said or done, allow people to 'walk all over them', or always feel like a failure, no matter how much they accomplish. Sometimes we can be our own worst critic, holding ourselves to an impossibly high standard, and then beating ourselves up when we fail to measure up.
Self-esteem is a result of your own appraisal of your worth or value. For many women who struggle with self-esteem, these issues started in childhood, due to messages you received from others. For some, this issue comes up later, when a significant event in your life causes you to doubt yourself or question everything that you thought you knew. The way that we feel about ourselves underlies a myriad of larger mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression or disordered eating.
