I sometimes suffer from low self esteem and feel not enough

by Prem

Question

Hello, My name is Prem Tolani. Im 35 yrs old. I sometimes suffer from low self esteem.

I many times feel I am less smarter than others. Also it affects my job and I am unable to ask for the salary which I wish because I feel that I am not worth that much.

Please help me.

Answer

Hi Prem and thank you for submitting your self esteem question. It helps a lot of people who are going through the same issues.

First of all you need to change your self image you have of yourself. You say you feel not worth that much, well if you don't then no one else will either.

Your self worth comes from you and how you treat yourself. You need to start by loving yourself completely for who you are, just the way you are.

Repeat to yourself - I am enough for me and for everyone else. But don't just mindlessly repeat it. Say it with feeling and emotion.

You need to feel enough not just know it. Trust me once you begin to feel that love and acceptance for yourself everyone else around you will notice.

You never know you may just be giving a raise instead of having to ask for it.

Take care,
Michelle
