Topic: Rebuilding Your Self-Esteem (continued)

Your Inner Voice

We all have one. A voice that although we cannot hear is constantly repeating messages that will either be reassuring if we have a good level of self-esteem, if we have a low self-esteem, the voice is a harsher critic. This voice also has a tendency to incessantly belittle accomplishments.

The Consequences of Low Self-Esteem

The consequences of low self-esteem can include: anxiety, stress, loneliness, increased risk for depression, problems with friendships & relationships, impaired academic & job performance, underachievement and increased risk for substance abuse.

Does your inner voice influence your behavior? Have you already experienced some of the consequences listed above because of your low self-esteem?
