Self-esteem isn’t something you’re born with or without—it’s something you build. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, or a lifetime of critical inner dialogue, improving your self-esteem is absolutely possible. It starts with understanding that self-esteem is rooted in how you treat yourself and the evidence you create through your own actions. Here’s how to cultivate genuine confidence from the inside out. Understand the Difference Between Self-Esteem and Conceit True self-esteem isn’t arrogance or thinking you’re better than others. It’s a realistic, compassionate assessment of your own worth.

We don’t always want to post the sad stuff but that can mean that our feeds just end up looking like happy sunshine until you start looking at feeds of other people you follow, think that’s all there is in their life, and then feel horrible because your life isn’t as good, or wonder why they don’t have bad days like you do. We have all been there. To give you an idea of just how much a part of our lives social media impacted our lives I was abused by many people on social media and YouTube 5 years ago and it was horrible experience.

But studies have found that basing our self-esteem on external sources, like appearance, academics or the opinions of others,   can cause anxiety  and even lead to more alcohol use. Mental health is also a problem in New Zealand. ...
