What is self-esteem? • How important you think that you are. • How you feel about yourself and the things that you do.
What’s so important about self-esteem? • High self-esteem allows you to be proud of yourself at all times. • It allows you to recover after you make a mistake. You won’t be too scared to try again. • You will be able to make your own decisions. • It makes you believe in yourself enough to try new things.
How can you boost your self- esteem? • Try your best at everything that you do. • Think about all of the things you are good at. • Love yourself just the way that you are. • Remember that you cannot fix everything. • If you start to doubt yourself, stop. • Compliment yourself at least once a day. • Example: I was a good friend today.
