Self-love. This word that accompanies us all our lives as an invisible friend who so desires to love us and that we sometimes despise. There he is. And if you look at him tenderly, he’ll take your hand and help you walk.
This friend who never leaves – although sometimes we turn our backs on you – and waits patiently for us to return our affection. You don’t see it but you feel it, as you feel the self-esteem of the people around you.
- “Happiness is neither exuberant nor causes a cry.
- Such as pleasure or joy.
- It is quiet.
- Quiet.
- Gentle.
- It is an inner state of satisfaction that begins by loving oneself.
- Isabel Allende-.
Not only is that a concept that takes the best and the worst of us: their different faces complete a circle that says a lot about who we are, what we do and what we don’t do, our attitude and, most importantly, trust. that we have in ourselves.
In the words of Stephen R. Covey, caring for self-esteem means “preserving and achieving the greatest good you have” and for this you have to take into account its four dimensions. What does that mean? That our own self-esteem can be divided into its physical, spiritual, mental, and social / emotional nature. Let’s look at this more calmly.
As we have seen, the four sides of self-esteem fall on the pillar of self-confidence and the way to strengthen it is to take care of oneself. Taking care of themselves physically, spiritually, mentally and socially/emotionally, these faces falter a little, our self-esteem diminishes and our consideration for us is weakened.
So why not spend some of our time putting order in each of these dimensions?If you’re not physically at your best, consciously look for habits that give you energy and make you feel stronger. Need to stop and relax? There are exercises that will help you achieve this goal. Are you feeling socially insecure? It’s time to heal and bet on you.
“The most influential person you talk to all day is yourself
So be careful what you say to yourself.
-Zig Ziglar-
You, before anyone else, have to think that your life exists to be lived, not just to survive, and to live this means accepting our own desires and chasing them, recognizing that we can make mistakes, create, change, overcome, achieve. Self-esteem is a sign of self-realization and balance.
We say that one of the faces of self-esteem is socio-emotional and that the two are particularly close because we cannot separate emotions from personal relationships, no one can do more of our emotional part than those who sincerely want to do it: those who give us happiness because they want to do it and therefore make us better.
“We often let the conversationavers, the envious, the authoritarian, the psychopathic, the proud, the mediocre, in short, the polluted, the bad guys who constantly evaluate what we say and what we do, enter into ours. Intimate and círculo. no’t talk.
-Bernardo Stamateas-
This is an important point: we have the right to a pleasant social circle, that respects us and treats us with love, so it is important to choose the people you want to surround yourself with, eliminate the wrong toxic people on your side who do not. allow you to develop healthy self-esteem.
