Salam Alaikum everyone. We finished our Zoom meeting today. Thank you for those who attended. 🌸
Few words and tools will send you here.
So today about SELF ESTEEM and SELF WORTH.
1. Self esteem always changing like a human being and it’s not fixed.
Take self test here if you are curious about your self esteem. This test is very famous in psychology and been used in thousands researchers. But don’t take this test results so seriously as to really rate your self esteem it’s not enough to do only this test.

2. There are 2 crucial periods when formatting our self esteem: 0-1.5 years and then 2-3 years. If a baby understood that he can’t trust other people, his self esteem will have huge impact. As well if a child 2-3 years old will be not allowed to do many things by himself, scolded, punished, rushed, shamed because he wanted to do everything himself but not accurate or how others wanted his/ her self esteem will be affected too.
3. To raise our self esteem we need first to trust people and the world around. It’s the foundation of self esteem.
4. So our self esteem influenced by environment ( home, school), expiences snd traumas, relationships with parents and others, social comparisons, self evaluation.
5. There are people who’s self esteem fluctuates depending on other people how they evaluate them ( someone criticised- person’s self esteem lowered. Someone praised - self esteem increased).
6. If parents have a stable sense of their unconditional worth, it’s very likely their children will have higher self esteem and strong sense of self- worth.
7. Our ancestors believes about what women need to do and achieve in life conditioning our self esteem.
8. Our ancestors and family passed a belief that you must constantly work and do something to gain value.
9. The first step to increase your self esteem and change your life is to ACCEPT YOURSELF AS YOU ARE, this includes current your situation, your age, you body weight, your emotional reactions, current behaviour, relationships…
10. Very often people stuck in current situation and they refuse to accept how it is.
11. Good news that we can strengthen and grow ourselves at any age.
I invite you to accept yourself first, to accept that I am who I am now, to know yourself , the one you like, and accept and know that part of yours what is difficult to accept. Only then if you accept yourself unconditionally, you will start to take care of yourself, respect and love yourself and others unconditionally.
Each person possesses inherent worth and dignity by virtue of being human. This perspective acknowledges the instinct value of every person, regardless of their accomplishments, status or other external factors.
