Where self-esteem is rooted:\xa0

Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift that you are given in your childhood. It is something that most people overlook. There are so many ways that adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem.

Here are some questions for you. Think and respond in your mind if these have been issues for you. Do you have low self-esteem? Answer the following 9 questions from Psychology Today.

  1. Can I elaborate on my good points, skills, abilities, achievements, and success with other people?
  2. Can I stand my ground with people who I think are violating or overlooking my rights? Can I confidently and respectfully put my foot down?
  3. Am I fully happy with who I am, how I behave, and what I do in life?
  4. Am I not bothered by feelings of insecurity or anxiety when I meet people for the first time?
  5. Is my life balanced in aspects such as family life, social life, recreation/leisure, and spiritual life? (If you find yourself often gravitating toward distractive recreational activities you may be avoiding dealing with the reality of what your life really is)
  6. Am I aware of the roles I played in my family of origin and I have been usually able to make these behavior patterns work for me?
  7. Am I bonded with significant others at home, work, school, at play,
