As part of examining your life while trying to adjust

seriously; seek help if you
believe you need to.
Remember, in life there are
things that we cannot
control.
There will be negative events that
will challenge our positive
dispositions. However, let us not

Keep in Mind
SELF WORTH vs. SELF-ESTEEM: LET’s CLARIFY!
Self-worth and self-esteem are two different things,
despite the fact that they are used at
interchangeably. Self-esteem is concerned more on
your confidence and healthy admiration of yourself,
while self-worth is how you value yourself—an inner
sense of value. It is you who can determine how
outside factors influence your self- worth.
These factors are actions or reactions and
judgments of other people. Researches say
that an individual who validates his/her self-
worth from external factors may more likely
have low self-worth.
However, individuals who consider their
internal aspects tend to develop a healthy
inner sense of value.
How to Improve your Self-
worth
Stop comparing yourself to others.
Evaluating yourself based on
standards of other people may lead you
to self-destruction or may develop
maladaptive behavior.
Challenge the critical inner self.
*Find effort to see who you really are.
*Listen to your inner voice.
*Start understanding and appreciating your own
feelings, thoughts, desires and values.
*If you will challenge your critical inner voice
and stop comparing yourself to others, you can
begin to get a feeling for your own self-worth.
How to Improve and Raise Your Self-
esteem
1. Be with people who treat you well.
Some people act in ways that tear you down.
Others lift you up by what they say and do.
Learn to tell the difference.
Choose friends who help you feel OK about
yourself. Find people that you can be yourself
with. Be that type of friend to others.
2. Set goals and work toward them.
If you want to feel good about yourself, do
things that are good for you. Maybe you want
to eat a healthier diet, get more fit, or study
better. Make a goal. Then make a plan on how
to do it. Stick with your plan. Track your
progress. Be proud of what you've done so far.
Say to yourself, "I've been following my plan to
work out every day for 45 minutes. I feel good
about it. I know I can keep it up."
3. Give and help.
Giving is one of the best ways to build self-
esteem. Tutor a classmate, help clean up your
neighborhood, help in a donation drive
campaign. Help out at home. Make it a habit to
be kind and fair. Do things that make you proud
of the kind of person you are. When you do
things that make a difference (even a small
one) your self-esteem will grow.
