Why Self-Esteem Is Important
Self-esteem impacts your decision-making process, your relationships, your emotional health, and your overall well-being. It also influences motivation, as people with a healthy, positive view of themselves understand their potential and may feel inspired to take on new challenges.
Four key characteristics of healthy self-esteem are:
1.A firm understanding of one’s skill
2.The ability to maintain healthy relationships with others as a result of having a healthy relationship with oneself
3.Realistic and appropriate personal expectations
4.An understanding of one’s needs and the ability to express those needs
People with low self-esteem tend to feel less sure of their abilities and may doubt their decision-making process. They may not feel motivated to try novel things because they don’t believe they can reach their goals.
