SELF-ESTEEM VS SELF-CONFIDENCE
The terms self-esteem and self-confidence are often used interchangeably. Although they are very similar, they are two different concepts.
Self-esteem refers to how you feel about yourself overall; how much esteem, positive regard or self-love you have. Self-esteem develops from life experiences and/or situations that have shaped how you view yourself today.
Self-confidence is how you feel about your abilities and can vary from situation to situation. You may have a good self-esteem, but low confidence about situations.
When you love yourself, your self-esteem improves, which makes you more confident. When you are confident in areas of your life, you begin to increase your overall sense of esteem.
If you have a low self-esteem; constantly feeling “I’m not good enough.” This concept could have developed over your entire life. Usually you’ve been in a series of unhealthy relationships, may be frequently belittled by your boss or others around you, and constantly say things to yourself like “I suck, I’m not worth it.” Recognizing you have this negative script, you are now better able to change it.
On the positive side, you are a caring friend, artistic and having the ability to be super-organized. You know this and believe this about yourself and feel confident in these areas. By focusing on the things you are confident in and working on changing your negative self-talk, you are improving both your self-esteem and self-confidence.
Think of qualities others say you excel in. Even if you believe them slightly, this is a step in the right direction.
Stop the negative chatter. Shut it up!
Ask yourself, “would I say it to a friend?” If not, stop saying these statements to yourself.
Make a list of your strengths. Pretend you are at a job interview.
The more we recognize our challenges with self-confidence and self-esteem, the more aware we become of improvements that can be made. This is when positive changes occur.
