●
So how do we measure selfesteem??????????

21. Most of us have an image of what low esteem
looks like, but is not always so easy to
recognize. Here are three common faces that
low self esteem may wear:
Impostor
Rebel
Loser

22. IMPOSTER
The impostor: pretends to be happy and successful, but is really
terrified of failure. Lives with the constant fear that she or he will
“found out”. Needs continuous success to maintain the mask of
positive self esteem, which may lead to problems with perfectionism,
competition and burnout

23. He acts as helpless and unable to cope with the world and waits
for someone to come to the rescue. Uses self pity or
indifferences as a guard against fear of taking responsibility for
changing his or her life.
Looks constantly to others for guidance which can lead to such
problems as lacking assertiveness skills, under- achievement,
and excessive reliance on others in relationship.

24. REBEL
He acts against the opinions or good will of others- especially
people who are important or powerful- don’t matter.
Lives with constant anger about not feeling “good enough”.
Continuously needs to prove that other’s judgment and
criticisms don’t hurt, which may lead to problems like blaming
others excessively, breaking rules and laws, or fighting
authority.

25. ?????SELF-ESTEEM?????
Your self esteem depends on many questions:
Is your job worthwhile? Do others respect what you do? Do you?
Do you believe you are successful?
How do you see yourself (your self image)?
- Improve your self esteem
- Boost your self confidence
-
How do you feel about your strengths and weaknesses?
What do you think of your social status?
How do you relate to others?
Can you make your own decisions? A lack of choices leads to
low self esteem.

throughout the life through experiences.

Having a healthy self – esteem creates
confidence, self-reliance, and overall
happiness in an individual
Self esteem increases your confidence. If you have
confidence you will respect yourself and then you can
respect others, improve your relationships and
become happier....this is not a selfish goal as you will
contribute more and share yourself with the world and
those around you.

29. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW SELFESTEEM

30. No one can
Make you feel

your Consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt

about saying no
Think positively
Believe on your self
Make plans for the future .Set and achieve
goals
Do something challenging each day
Look your best
Eat correctly
Do something for someone else
Learn a new skill

32. Emphasize your strengths.
Change what can be changed.
Some things fast, others gradual,
and others never. There are
things we inherit but we can
change our attitude about it. Try
new experiences.

33. Self-awareness helps you exploit your strengths and cope
with
your weakness. For instance, if you are someone who is
good at
“seeing the big picture “ that surrounds decisions, but not as
good at focusing on the details, you might want to consult
colleagues and subordinates that are more detailed- oriented
when making major decisions.
Co- operation between big- picture –oriented decisions
makers
and detailed- oriented decision makers can produce high
quality
decisions.

34. There are two different people in the
world. One that says “I wish I had” and
the one that says “I’m glad I did”.
Remember you can have anything in this
world if you just believe in yourself.

35. Accept yourself: Stop worrying about the
things you can’t change. Be more
accepting of others and the things they
can’t change.
Try not to compare with others. It’s unfair.
You may compare their strengths with
your weaknesses. Judge yourself in
terms of your own growth
