What is low self-esteem ?

A person with low self-esteem will tend to devalue, stress to the point of being sick or develop strong shyness.

Anxiety, depression or eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia) can be caused by low self-esteem. These people also have a negative view of themselves, which is why they inflict trauma on their bodies.

How to fight it

To fight against low self-esteem, we need an environment and a positive environment ready to give us a better image of ourselves.

First of all to overcome a negative self-esteem, start by giving your opinion on different topics. For example, if you're having lunch at a friend's house and you don't like the food served, don't hesitate to say so politely. Don't you like where your friends go out ? Then let me know ! Saying No is a good exercise in building self-confidence.

Express your emotions and feelings ! You passed a sports exercise that you've been trying to do for months, you're as proud as a peacock, so celebrate ! A change in your work or your life, share this moment with your loved ones they will encourage you to move forward.

Receiving compliments or encouragement is a very important factor in gaining confidence. Then welcome them with pleasure !
