Who are you?
What message are you giving yourself and others? Is it positive or negative?
Please finish off this sentence, what would you say:
“I am ….(add your own words here)”
If you cannot honestly and confidently say something positive about yourself then how can you build your self esteem because this will show you have a negative opinion about yourself?
Write out your most common “I am” sentences now. Not those you want to say but the real things you say in your head or to others.
Share your ideas by writing them below, make a comment too if you wish.
Let’s get started on the journey to more self esteem now…

I am just I am. Not good, not bad, not even indifferent. I have found that life is way to short to sweat the small stuff. There are far too many things that happen that I cannot change because they have happened I can only deal with the residual of the act or acts of what has happened. I say this because once something has happened, it is now in the past and the past cannot be changed. And we all have a past good bad and indifferent. I can only pick up the pieces and try to put them back together the best I can.
