When we begin to hear ourselves criticizing ourselves unnecessarily we can guess our self esteem is not high.  A simple inventory, quiz or test can help you identify the symptoms of low self esteem formally, but realistically your self talk is the true early indicter of what lies ahead for you, and the opportunity to make a positive  difference.

Any form of self loathing can wreak havoc with all areas of your life. Some people believe others are to blame for the problems they have when in reality this is an overflowing of the bad perceptions they have of themselves spilling like poison into their relationships. Letting yourself get upset about your looks, where you are in your life plans, and inabilities to control your habits are perceptions easily transfered onto others.

Then the person with low self esteem may not always look meek but may try to externally compensate for their perceived inadequacy from the outside. When self talk is balanced in the favor of negative affirmations instead of positive affirmations the tendency is to become critical of others as well, and this only intensifies the spiraling process for the worse. The need to cope and not prosper becomes the key symptom of low self esteem.



To the creator you are a work in progress like every other person. We all have things we would like to change about ourselves. Your creator however is surely not pleased when you criticize his creation. A creation, a YOU that is loved and was carefully planned before YOU even existed. Perhaps you do have issues but it is in your best interest to like yourself while God finishes his creation.

If you were not a good person you would not make these efforts such as going to this website to make a better life. When you make efforts and are positive in your self talk you speed up the process many time over and the spiral can begin to work in your favor. You gain resilience and the symptoms of low self esteem will only become something you help others overcome.
