Self-esteem: a reminder of its importance

What is self-esteem?

Self-esteem is the opinion that kids (and adults) have of themselves. It is how we see ourselves, how we feel, how we act. Self-esteem is the awareness that each of us has value. Self-esteem is, therefore, the gratifying feeling of loving ourselves and accepting ourselves for who we are. Our self-esteem is reflected in our capabilities and in the love, respect and appreciation we give ourselves.

Why is self-esteem so important?

One of the few factors that distinguish human beings from other animals is the recognition of self: the capacity to have an identity and to value that identity. In other words, you have the capacity to define who you are and to decide if you like who you are or not.

You are unique, there is no one else like you in the world. In sum, all that has happened to you since birth has made you who you are today. How you feel about yourself influences how you act and how your life will turn out. Self-esteem is therefore very important because it is is the motor which moves us to evolve as people, to create and to live happily.

Positive self-esteem keeps us healthy both physically and mentally and gives us a sense of well-being and a positive outlook on life. Good self-esteem helps us to develop our full potential, which incorporates all of the love, life energy and creativity that we have within.
