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.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-WORTH
 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

 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.
HOW TO IMPROVE AND RAISE YOUR
SELF-ESTEEM
 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."
HOW TO IMPROVE AND RAISE YOUR
SELF-ESTEEM
 Give and help.

Giving is one 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.
