Why Do You Think You Are Not Enough?

Concerns about low self-esteem are common, human concerns. Sometimes problems with self-esteem are symptoms of mental health concerns, anxiety depression, BFRB, abusive relationship or other external stress. Sometimes low self-esteem stems from faulty core beliefs. The tools, videos and podcasts on this site will help you dig deep into why you think that you are not enough and help you challenge that thought. ...if you want to.

Ready, set, learn to love yourself!

What do we mean when we say "low self-esteem"?

As we dig deep into core beliefs, let's make these differentiations: 

Self-Esteem = The value you place on yourself as a human being.

Self-Confidence = The value you place on your abilities: human doing.

Character = Integrity or moral fiber, your spirit or true nature. 

Body Image = The value you place on your outward physical appearance, your earth suit.

Personality Self- Public Image=The value you place on your status in comparison to others: Influenced by societal status and cultural norms. This image is shaped by demographics: gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, health, religion, education, income, career and relationship status. Public Image is transformed by popularity and reputation. It is vulnerable to stereotypes, bias, discrimination and oppression.
