SELF CONFIDENCE OR SELF WORTH
The result of feeling competent, listened to, and appreciated by people who are important in our lives and responsible for our actions.
We are not born with it. It is something we develop as a result of what we have experienced in life and the way we feel about ourselves.
People who feel good about themselves, tend to: • focus on positive traits • keep themselves healthy
• work themselves to achieve goals • respect themselves and others • accept responsibility for their actions Therefore, it is important to LEARN to focus on our strengths and point out the strengths of others, so that we can improve our own and other's self-confidence.
