Self-esteem is your general opinion of yourself, your abilities, and your limitations. A healthy self-esteem is shaped by thoughts, interactions, relationships, and each experience you endure. A healthy self-esteem is maintained by focusing on characteristics such as confidence, adaptability, and balance of locus of control. When your self-esteem is high, you just feel good about yourself and look at the world with a sense of positivity; you embrace your capability to handle tasks that come your way. You respect yourself and know you deserve that from others. On the contrary, when your self-esteem is too low, you do not value yourself for as much as you are worth, instead casting doubt on your abilities and fretting that you aren’t good enough, or able to face challenges you’re up against. It is very important to have a healthy sense of worth, in all aspects. Such health is relevant in all areas of life: professional, personal, and biological.
