Tap Follow to Break Your Vicious Cycle of Low Self-Esteem 🧠💪
Low self-esteem can cause people to feel low, depressed and anxious... which is often maintained by these 3 common behaviours ⬇️
1. Comparing to others: thinking other people are nicer looking, happier and never struggle with life! These are common opinions that people with low-self esteem think about and scroll through on social media for hours comparing others to themselves. Remember these are opinions we can have by observing others.... what we see on social media and what we observe about others are not facts and could be very inaccurate to what is actually going on for other people!
2. Lots of people dress in clothes that they do not feel comfortable in which may be too baggy, not suiting their style, shape because of the way the person sees themselves. This actually reinforces the person not to feel confident in themselves! ➡️ Dress in clothes that help you feel confident and fit you comfortably, this will boost your self esteem and help you feel good about yourself!
3. Self criticism where you call yourself nasty names of being fat, ugly, stupid, useless etc.... we can be our own worst bully in our heads! ➡️ these are opinions that people form about themselves through different life experiences which are inaccurate and is a huge maintainer of low self-esteem. Next time you find yourself calling yourself nasty names, try out telling yourself something nice about yourself and be kind towards yourself with compassion.... the only way of fighting our critic is being kind back to it 🧠💪
