Self-worth can encourage habits that increase mental well-being. When the self is valued, we may be more likely to take good care of ourselves. One sign of high self-esteem is the ability to show yourself compassion<\/a>. And when you can have compassion for yourself, you may be more likely to extend it to others. This can create a positive feedback loop that makes it easier for you to be kind to yourself and others!\u00a0

You may need a self-worth boost if you say negative things about yourself that you would never say to someone else. This habit, called negative self-talk, can increase negative emotions like worry<\/a>, sadness<\/a>, and powerlessness. Many people go through periods of low self-worth after a stressful or traumatic<\/a> life event. If you are going through divorce<\/a>, job loss, legal trouble, or something else, it is important to be kind to yourself and remember how valuable you are.<\/p>\n

If you feel like low self-esteem is getting you down, talking to a therapist or counselor<\/a> may help. Therapy can help you address what may be causing your feelings of low self-worth. It can also teach you strategies for boosting your self-confidence<\/a>.<\/p>\n
