What is Self-Esteem?

R.ealize the Reality

Mirror Activity

Reflection: Think About It

• Wherever You Go There You Are…• I spent about 12 years of my life with someone I

didn’t like, and it was awful. I dealt with low self-esteem for – 24 /7 for 12 whole years . – That is 37,843,200 seconds or– 6,307,200 minutes – 05,120 hours of wasted life. Either way, it’s a lot.

Fortunately, you don’t have to waste this much of your life.

The STATS

• 70% of girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way

• 62% feel insecure• 75% of girls with low self-

esteem reported self-destructive behavior when feeling bad about themselves

Why Does This Matter?

1. Your Self-Esteem Affects Everyone Around You

2. You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have

What Does Low Self-Esteem Look Like?

1. Constantly living in the past or future but never dealing with the present moment.

2. Always wanting what it seems like you can’t have

3. Sabotaging the success you should have

4. Thinking negative thoughts about yourself

5. Avoiding intimacy and putting on a face

Symptoms of Low Self-Esteem (continued)

6. Being a busybody

7. Never sticking with anything

8. Addictions

3 types of self-esteem

1. Global

2. Conditional - tied to “outside” things

3. Unconditional- “true” self-esteem (the best)

Only you can realize the reality of whether or not you have low self-esteem.

Take some time to Get R.E.A.L. with yourself, answer these questions honestly,

E.ngage Yourself In Positive Thinking

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

-Romans 12:2

As a man thinketh in his heart so is He. – Proverbs 23:7

What would you do if you felt no fear?

The Car Accident That Changed Everything For Me

A.ccept the Fact That You’re Not Perfect…Nobody Is

Don’t try to “do good” just “be good.”

“You have no flaws, check the “mirror” of God’s word.

Self-Image

Questions to Consider1. At this moment what does my self-image

picture look like?

2. How would my life be different if I looked at myself through God’s mirror (His word)instead of my own?

3. When I think about the fact that God sees me with no flaws, how does that make me feel?

L.earn to Love Yourself Unconditionally

God’s Love for you is unchanging, and that is the way He wants to love yourself.

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Inner Beauty First

Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful

clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading

beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. This kind of beauty will last, and

God considers it very special.

(1 Peter 3:3-4).

Inner Beauty Mantra

Inner Beauty always first. Inner Beauty always lasts.

Inner Beauty defines my worth.

You Are Beyond Compare

However, when they [meaning you and I] measure themselves with themselves and com pare them selves w ith one another, they are w ithout understanding and behave unw isely.

(2 Corinthians 10:12)
