Self-esteem
Self-esteem is about your sense of worth as a person. You usually distinguish between self-esteem and self-confidence where self-confidence is more about whether you believe in your ability to perform in different situations and contexts. Self-esteem comes from within, what do you think about yourself regardless of other people's confirmation. Self-confidence comes more from the outside, it is strengthened by confirmation from others and by the fact that you can do what you undertake.

Strong self-esteem and good self-confidence
The combination of strong self-esteem and good self-confidence creates a stable foundation and a rich life. When you know within yourself that you are worth just as much even if you fail, you dare to challenge yourself and at the same time prioritize recovery when needed. A stimulating balance. With good self-confidence, you see setbacks as challenges rather than failures and you know that you have the ability to make the changes needed to have a good life. A good self-esteem makes you less vulnerable to external circumstances and less dependent on what others think and think about you.
You are shaped by your upbringing
Self-esteem is founded in childhood. It is built when you feel loved and receive validation and appreciation regardless of performance. Growing up in a safe environment without aggression and threats is important. Having the opportunity to develop at your own pace is also something that contributes.
Performance-based value
If you have a weak self-esteem, it is often compensated with a so-called performance-based self-esteem. This means that as long as you perform in selected areas of life, you feel good about yourself. Maybe you are a careerist and an amazingly perfect parent. You always stand up for your friends and you never say no to social events or happenings. Constantly performing and pushing yourself like this unfortunately often leads to collapse in one way or another. When you can no longer maintain what gives you value, your entire self-image collapses and you end up in a crisis. It's because you lack a sense of self that comes from within. Your value is dependent on external circumstances and achievements. It is performance based. With low self-esteem, you become more vulnerable to depression, anxiety, anxiety and fatigue.
Can you boost your self-esteem?
The beauty of the crow's song is that self-esteem can be built up. You can find love for yourself and see your worth completely independent of your achievements. When achievement is not critical to your self-worth but has a more healthy place and function in life. Where you perform based on desire and where you feel just as good regardless of the outcome. Then comes a lightness and relief.
