About This Kit
How you evaluate your abilities, strengths, and weaknesses is called your self-estimate or self-esteem. Your self-esteem evolves and changes over time and is a learned behavior. Children develop their self-esteem through the praises and criticisms of parents, teachers, and others. Supportive, encouraging adults can foster high self-esteem in a child as the child acts out positive statements such as “You can do it” or “You are a good boy/girl.”
As an adult, you continue to evaluate yourself and develop your self-esteem. One of the primary ways you evaluate yourself is through your “self-talk” or the inner dialogues you continually have with yourself. Using positive “self-talk” or affirmations can help you feel empowered, improve your self-esteem, and help you feel more confident. Having negative thoughts about your appearance and your body can contribute to a poor self-image and low self-esteem, and sabotage your efforts to make changes in your health and lifestyle. In this kit you will:
Step 1. Practice positive “self-talk”
Step 2. Build a better body image
Step 3. Learn ways to feel more confident
