A topic that has concerned a lot of people in recent years. Two concepts that are very similar to each other but differ in some essential points.
Self-confidence is about what we can do, what we can achieve, while self-esteem is about who we think we are.
Increased self-esteem makes us feel internally safe as a person, to believe in our worth.
Self-confidence mainly gives us the drive to dare, try new things and gain new experiences.
Clearly self-esteem and confidence influence each other. There are people who have high self-confidence but low self-esteem.
The trap to this situation is that I recognize that I have abilities but this can become a drag and I am constantly chasing titles, awards or doing something that I feel I am good enough for.
If I only get joy and value from my victories, it will not fill the void that I have low self-esteem. Essentially I will only believe that I am worthy when I accomplish things.
Whereas our self-esteem has to do with our worth as human beings, our virtues, our spirituality, the beauty of our soul, our kindness, our conscientiousness.
High self-esteem is not given by anyone else, the person needs to work to cultivate it.
It is so important because it makes you the creator of your life, your dreams, your truth.
Your confidence creates that inner passion to pursue what you want to achieve. Believe in your abilities and your potential, in short, know what you are good at and what you can achieve.
It is important to understand these two concepts in order to know ourselves better, so that everyone can turn to themselves and understand what they need to pay attention to.
- The first step is accepting myself, with my strengths and my flaws. No one is born perfect, human nature is imperfect.
- The second step is to have the mood, the will to recognize that we can do something to change this situation.
- The third is to have optimistic thoughts. See yourself a little more positively, embrace him for who he is, he can't just make mistakes and be constantly scolded. We clip his wings.
- Ask for help, there's no shame in it. Get out of the do-it-yourself mindset, we can't do it all by ourselves!!
Learning to believe in myself, to take care of myself, to give me real importance to begin with, is easier than changing thoughts. Embrace who you are, be kind to yourself, see yourself from a new perspective optics.
Start today, it's a shame to let time go by.
Make that promise to yourself and keep it!!
