Self-esteem refers to how one views and thinks about themselves. It is shaped by both positive and negative feelings about oneself, one's actions, and future. Low self-esteem can lead to vulnerability, unhealthy decisions, criticism of self and others, and increased depression and suicide risk, while high self-esteem increases respect, goal achievement, willingness to try new things, and feelings of value. The workshop provides tips and exercises to improve self-esteem through affirmations, overcoming issues, and discovering one's purpose in life.
