Dealing with low self esteem? Here's how to deal with it:
how can we tell if we’re dealing with low self-esteem, and what can we do about it? We asked the experts to give us their advice.
Why? Because low self-esteem has the power to inhibit women from reaching their full potential; a lack of self belief can hold us back from going for opportunities at work, make us feel insignificant or unimportant and lead us to become self-critical.“when we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and about life in general… when our self-esteem is low, we tend to see ourselves and our life in a more negative and critical light.
When we have high levels of self-esteem, we are better able to deal with the challenges that life throws at us, making us more resilient to events which have the potential to impact our mental health. However, when we have low self-esteem, we are more likely to blame ourselves when things go wrong and engage in unhelpful coping mechanisms.
“Some of the signs that we might be dealing with low self-esteem include feeling impatient, irritable, as well as being highly self-critical, as well as critical of others,” explains Dr Janina Scarlet, author of the upcoming bookSigns of low self-esteem include withdrawing from social events and feelings of anxiety and depression.
