Self Confidence and Self-Esteem

We all have times when we lack confidence and do not feel good about ourselves!

But when low self-esteem becomes a long-term problem, it can have a harmful effect on our mental health and our day-to-day lives.


What is self-esteem?

Self-esteem is the opinion we have of ourselves.

When we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and about life in general. It makes us better able to deal with life's ups and downs.

When our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our life in a more negative and critical light. We also feel less able to take on the challenges that life throws at us.


What causes low self-esteem?

Low self-esteem often begins in childhood. Our teachers, friends, siblings, parents, and even the media send us positive and negative messages about ourselves. For some reason, the message that you are not good enough is the one that stays with you. Perhaps you found it difficult to live up to other people's expectations of you, or to your own expectations. Stress and difficult life events, can have a negative effect on self-esteem.

Personality can also play a part. Some people are just more prone to negative thinking, while others set impossibly high standards for themselves.


How does low self-esteem affect us?

If you have low self-esteem or confidence, you may hide yourself away from social situations, stop trying new things, and avoid things you find challenging.

In the short term, avoiding challenging and difficult situations might make you feel safe. In the longer term, this can backfire because it reinforces your underlying doubts and fears. It teaches you the unhelpful rule that the only way to cope is by avoiding things. Living with low self-esteem can harm your mental health and lead to problems such as depression and anxiety.

You may also develop unhelpful habits, as a way of coping.



Get More Self Confidence and Boost Self Esteem with Kaz Riley

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you remove negative beliefs you hold about yourself, help you become more assertive, and get better at saying NO! With hypnosis I can help you validate yourself, identify the skills and resources you already have and create new ones. This is much more than "positive thinking" this is learning how to like, love and accept yourself for who you are.
