Self-Esteem

“I’m just not good enough.” ~ We live in an era where you are constantly being forced to compare yourself to others. Whether it’s your appearance, your career, your financial status, or your social and family lives — comparing yourself to those around you has gotten the best of you.

Data shows that approximately 85% of people around the world suffer from low self-esteem. Low self-esteem impacts your self-image, the confidence you present to others, motivation levels, and can lead to anxiety or depression. How we view ourselves impacts how we navigate the world, what type of relationships we invest in, and how we value our work and home lives.
