START RIGHT (DAY 2): YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH

[derletwins]

WEAR CONFIDENCE

A great morning to you as you read this post and I hope you had the best of nights. Another day has presented itself to us and it is our duty to make good use of it.

In today’s episode, we would dwell on low self-esteem. I chose this topic because it is from past experiences and I hope this helps someone out there.

It's an issues that's mostly overlooked yet very important. Poor self esteem can make very talented person look dumb and high self esteem or confidence can make the least talented person seem and look talented.

So it is of utmost importance to start your day with confidence. Know that you're worth it and one of a kind. So without wasting much time, lets dive straight into today's episode, shall we?

Self-esteem is basically how you see yourself. It has to do with the kind of treatment you give yourself. Some people think highly of themselves whilst others have bad mentalities about their own being. It is sad how a person can degrade himself or herself so much so that he or she feels unaccepted in the society. This is a serious problem affecting especially the youth and if not curbed, one’s life is wasted on this earth.

I had low self-esteem during my secondary school days. As a girl, I felt left out because I had a feeling I was not beautiful enough, I did not possess the kind of confidence my friends had, I just was not cut out for the community in which I found myself in. it wasn’t only in school but also at home, the church and the neighborhood. This led to my introverted life. As to what caused this low self-esteem of mine, I blamed it on COMPARISM. I always compared myself to people. As a teenager, I felt I was ugly because I wasn’t getting attention from boys whilst my friends were. Funny, isn’t it? My name didn’t appear in the school magazine as one of the beautiful girls on campus but my friends had their names listed there. These are some of the few examples that led to my state of low self- esteem. I kept comparing myself to people day in day out. I begged for attention but I wasn’t given some. It is indeed sad.

Now, I made a resolution when I finished with my secondary school education that I wasn’t going to go down that road of low self-esteem anymore. It was tough. I tried to stop comparing myself to people and started appreciating myself. I told myself all the beautiful compliments in this world each and every day to motivate me. I read a lot. I tried to work on my social life. The first few years were not easy. I had very slow progress but I was happy with myself because I became more centered on myself than others.

In case you are going through what I went through, I want you to know that you can come out of it. You need to be determined and patient for it to work. Learn to appreciate yourself. Don’t live by the standards of others. Your family loves you for who you are. That is a starting point. Dwell on their love and think positive of yourself always. Don’t give up, never give up. Slowly but surely, you will get there. Talk to a counselor if need be. It helps also but make sure you put in much effort if you really want to come out of it.

Conclusively, love yourself and value yourself because you are worth more than the most valuable item in this world. You are beautiful, you are handsome, you are amazing, and you are awesome!

Have a super duper day as yourselves.
