Basics of Self-esteem

Purpose of this course:

Self-esteem is a crucial aspect of one’s perception of personal worth and value. It reflects how much confidence you have in your abilities, qualities, and overall self-respect. Maintaining healthy self-esteem is essential, as it can significantly impact your motivation, mental health, and overall well-being. However, it’s important to note that having excessively high or low self-esteem can lead to problems. By understanding your individual level of self-esteem, you can work towards achieving a healthy balance and boosting your overall sense of self-worth.

Self-esteem is a complex concept that is made up of various important components. One of these components is self-confidence, which involves having faith in one’s abilities and qualities. Another vital component is a sense of security, which refers to feeling safe and protected in one’s environment. A strong sense of identity or knowing who you are and what you stand for, is also crucial to self-esteem. Additionally, feeling like you belong and being accepted by others is an essential component of self-esteem. Lastly, a sense of competence, or the ability to accomplish tasks and achieve goals, is also a critical aspect of self-esteem. It is worth noting that self-esteem tends to be lowest during childhood but gradually increases during adolescence and adulthood. Eventually, it reaches a level of stability that endures over time, much like personality traits.
