Selfesteem is essential for mental well-being from "summary" of Self-Esteem by Matthew McKAY,Patrick Fanning
Self-esteem is a fundamental aspect of mental well-being. When we have a healthy level of self-esteem, we are better equipped to handle life’s challenges and setbacks. We are more likely to believe in our worth and capabilities, which in turn helps us navigate through difficult situations with resilience and confidence. On the other hand, low self-esteem can have detrimental effects on our mental health. When we don’t value ourselves or believe in our abilities, we may struggle with feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and worthlessness. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that can significantly impact our overall well-being. Having a strong sense of self-esteem is like having a protective shield against negative thoughts and emotions. It allows us to maintain a positive outlook on life, even when faced with challenges. It helps us set healthy boundaries, make decisions that are in alignment with our values, and cultivate relationships that uplift and support us. When we prioritize our self-esteem, we are prioritizing our mental health. By nurturing a positive self-image and practicing self-compassion, we can build a solid foundation for our overall well-being. This involves being kind to ourselves, acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses, and treating ourselves with the same level of respect and kindness that we would offer to others.- Self-esteem is not just a nice-to-have aspect of our mental health—it is essential. It is the cornerstone upon which our mental well-being stands. By investing in our self-esteem and taking steps to strengthen it, we are investing in our mental health and overall quality of life.
