Working on Your Self-Esteem Issues? Don't Let Others Bring You Down

Have you ever noticed how newborn babies have no self-esteem issues?

They are born with a sense of self-acceptance and self-love. But as they grow older, they begin interacting with others and sometimes those interactions may leave them feeling badly about themselves. 

In essence, it very well could be that our interactions with other people are the root causes of low self-esteem. That being said, it is important to learn how to not allow such interactions to bring you down.

How Parents May Impact Your Self-Esteem

Your parents are the first people who influence your self-esteem.

Why You Need to Build Your Own Mental Health Emergency Kit

Most of us have a first aid kit somewhere in our homes. We keep it stocked and accessible, knowing that accidents and injuries are inevitable parts of life.

But what about our mental and emotional well-being? Shouldn’t we have resources ready for those moments when our mental health needs immediate attention, too?

A mental health emergency kit serves exactly this purpose - a personalized collection of tools, techniques, and resources you can turn to during emotional distress.

Just as you wouldn’t wait until you’re actively bleeding to assemble a first aid kit, creating your mental health emergency kit before you need it ensures you have support readily available during life’s difficult moments…

Your Weekend Reset

Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!

  • Social Connection: Reach out to someone you’ve been meaning to catch up with. Set up a call or make plans to meet in person, if you can swing it. There’s something really grounding about hearing a familiar voice and just having an easy, real conversation. No agenda, no pressure, just a simple way to feel more connected to the people who matter.

  • Home Spa Day: Take some time to slow things down and look after yourself properly. Run a bath, throw on a face mask, maybe add in a scrub or a simple hand massage. Let it be a break from everything else pulling at your attention. Even a small bit of care like this can help you feel a little more balanced, especially when the week’s been full-on.

  • Gratitude Journal: I’m sure you all have a gratitude journal, right? No? Well, time to start one! Grab whatever notebook’s lying around and just write down a few things from the week that felt good. Could be something small like a quiet morning, a good meal, or a random text that made you laugh. It's a simple way to remind yourself there’s always something solid to hold onto, even in the middle of the chaos.

  • Book Recommendation: The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz - This is one of those books that quietly changes how you see your day-to-day life. It breaks down a few simple principles that can help you deal with stress, relationships, and your own overthinking. What I like is how straightforward it is, no fluff, just clear ideas that stick with you. If you’ve been feeling pulled in too many directions or caught up in things that don’t really matter, this is a great one to pick up.
