Chapter One: Mental Health
Part 2: Love yourself

Self-esteem is a form of self-worth and self-respect. It means that I accept myself and believe in all my positive and negative characteristics. When I have self-esteem, it is time to be confident. I have to be confident in appearance, mentally and emotionally, and intellectually and personally. In fact, we should respect myself and love ourselves. It is true that sometimes we have problems or weaknesses, but with all these attributes, we have a relative satisfaction with ourselves and life.

Results of self-esteem in human personality

When my self-esteem rises, it means I am satisfied with my life.

People with high self-esteem will usually be completely satisfied with life. These people have peace in life. Live happily.

These people are criticized. They listen well to the criticism and opinions of others. They receive and evaluate the points that they feel are in the direction of their growth, and they release the points that stop them from growing. They are never upset by the criticism of others. Because with the good knowledge they have of themselves, they know they have strengths and weaknesses. However, they accept themselves in every way and that is why they are not upset about saying their weaknesses in the language of others. They believe that we should respect ourselves and always love ourselves.

People with high self-esteem usually consider themselves unique. They say to themselves that God created me alone.

What is the difference between self-esteem and narcissism?

Of course, we need to know that the uniqueness of people who have self-esteem is different from people who are narcissistic. The narcissists only see themselves and say that I am the highest and highest and only I am wonderful. But one who has high self-esteem believes that others are unique. He respects and cares for others. Just as he respects himself, he respects others and is happy with the progress of others. But the narcissistic person is upset by the progress of others and wants only him to progress.

Complications of low self-esteem

People with low self-esteem tend to be selfish and have an internal war with themselves. They are usually struggling with themselves and have a lot of thoughts. They ask themselves why this happened? Why did these unpleasant things happen? They are constantly complaining and grumbling to themselves. Such people usually feel empty, hopeless and worthless.

Do not wait for the encouragement of others

Meanwhile, a person who has high self-esteem always hopes for life and considers himself a valuable person. His motivation is an inner motivation and he will not expect encouragement and satisfaction from others. He always encourages himself and encourages himself because he knows there will be positive and negative points in him.

Five Steps to Self-Esteem

In this article, we want to tell you tips to increase our self-esteem in line with cohabitation skills.

Step # 1- Discovering Your Purpose

The first step is to live life consciously, and that means to wait at certain points in life, and to consciously focus on what is happening in our lives and see if everyday events in our lives are in the right direction. Is it our growth or not? Are these events on the path to my self-esteem? Is this activity for my own benefit or for the benefit of others?

Step # 2- Discovering Your Purpose

The second step to increasing self-esteem is to always consider not being like others! That is, we live with our personal preferences and desires, and if we do not do this and because we want to live like others, we lose our self-esteem. When we compare ourselves with others, we will definitely stray from the path of self-esteem.

Step # 3- Discovering Your Purpose

The third step is to check if the activity we are doing is in line with our desires and priorities in life or not. I need to know that I have a responsibility in my life and I need to know that I have to love and think about myself first. I have to value myself and my activities and always put myself on the path of growth and development.

Step # 4- Discovering Your Purpose

In the fourth step of the process of increasing self-esteem, we must love others. But along with this issue, we must maintain our privacy in the activities that we do. I need to know that just as I have responsibilities to my children and to my wife, I also have responsibilities to my own spirit and thoughts. I am responsible for my own growth and development, so I must always know that I have my responsibilities to myself and I always value myself and my desires.

Step # 5- Discovering Your Purpose

The fifth and last step is to have a purposeful life and always observe the quantity and quality of life. We should all consider avoiding monotony. In addition to the quantity of life, we should always increase its quality. This increase in quality of life can even go as far as changing the tone of speech and the way you speak to those around you. Or even a small change in the way you eat breakfast can change the quality of life and it will help me a lot in increasing my self-esteem.

Try to live a happy and motivated life with a plan for your life, and the things that are very important in terms of increasing self-confidence will be to create unity between our thoughts and actions. Certainly when we do activities that are in line with our thoughts, our self-esteem will also increase.

We must know that we always have a chance in life and we know that we are valuable and we must love ourselves.
