Self-esteem 101


Sometimes, it's hard to feel good about yourself, especially since you live in a society that keeps sending out the message that you've got to be perfect.

Are you your own worst critic? And in response to that criticism, are you constantly trying to transform yourself into a person who meets society's expectations, but not God's expectations? If so, it's time to become a little more understanding of the person in the mirror.

Millions of words have been written about various ways to improve self- esteem. Yet, maintaining a healthy self- image is, to a surprising extent, a matter of doing a few simple things:
1. Learn what God thinks about you and copy that!
2. Think healthy thoughts about yourself and love yourself first.
3.Seek out things that you are interested in and do them well.
4. Find encouraging friends who reinforce your sense of self-worth; friends who will hold you accountable and who believe in you.

When you do these four things, your self-image will tend to take care of itself.
