HOW TO OVERCOME LOW SELF ESTEEM IN 4 EASY STEPS

Do you really understand the meaning of self esteem? Does it affect your life or others around you?

I constantly get asked questions about how to increase self esteem, and it seems that the underlying message comes from a growing awareness that confidence and self esteem play a big role in today’s society, whether it be at work, play or even in the family set up.

Here I give 4# top tips for increasing self esteem.

How much self esteem do you have, and are you happy? A Dove Body Census which was conducted this year shows that only 1 in 10 women say to themselves “I am attractive”. What are the other 9 saying?

All the best,
