you’re born with) and nurture (what you’re exposed to) and your own unique characteristics• It’s important to have a general idea

Some Terms to Know

• Self Talk: Things you tell yourself about the way you think you are. (Hint: it’s not always the truth.)

• Constructive Criticism: When someone corrects you but gives you advice or pointers about how to improve a skill or behavior. It’s not just to put you down.

Is your self-talk positive or negative? And what feeds it?

• Comparing yourself with others?

• Media expectations?

• The committee in your head?

“No one can make you feel inferior without your permission” -- Eleanor Roosevelt

Erasing negativity

Research shows it takes 60 positive

comments to erase 1 negative remark.

How do you really improve your self-esteem?

• There are only two ways:

1. Being true to yourself (By the way, you can’t cheat on this. You will not feel good about yourself if you’re breaking your own rules)

2. Accomplishing things

That’s it – No major magic formula. Just get out there and do something that fits your belief system.
