Self-esteem- Chapter 1

What is self-esteem?

A persons overall sense of self worth or personal value.

Self-esteem can involve a variety of beliefs about the self, such as the appraisal of one's own appearance, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors.

How does self-esteem affect body image?

Body image is how you view your physical self — including whether you feel you are attractive and whether others like your looks.

And your body image affects your self-esteem because if you like the way your body looks then you will have an easier time having good self-esteem. Your body will be something you can tell yourself that you like.

How can someone improve their self-esteem?

Self-esteem is made up of the thoughts, feelings, and opinions we have about ourselves. That means self-esteem isn't fixed. It can change, depending on the way we think because over time, habits of negative thinking about ourselves can lower our self-esteem.

So if you change the way you think about yourself, then your self-esteem will get better in return.
