what is self-esteem and self-confidence i mean maybe you're like i was and thought that
esteem and self-confidence were exactly the same or perhaps you're having a laugh at the moment
thinking how could i be so silly to not even know the difference either way just by watching this
video you're building up your self-esteem and your self-confidence so really it's all good
so self-esteem firstly a couple of questions for you do you feel good about yourself and
do you generally see the universe as a friendly place if you can answer any of these questions
quite positively then i would say you have a good amount of self-esteem i mean that's not
to say you can't increase your level of esteem and confidence but it definitely sounds like
you're on the right track self-esteem is developed from your experiences your
upbringing and also what situations you found yourself in now these all combine to shape
the way you look at yourself and how you feel about the world around you so what can you do if
you couldn't answer those two questions positively well first of all do not panic you're not alone
and there's some great activities you can do to increase your self-esteem before we go
into more specifics and i tell you where you can find out about these great activities to
increase your self-esteem let's introduce the term self-confidence now self-confidence is very often
closely linked to self-esteem and that's probably how it gets a bit confusing if you do have a high
level of self-esteem then in many ways you will feel self-confident in performing certain tasks
and also everyday activities that are familiar to you now self-confidence can be thought of
as a two-part process one part of this process is how someone thinks about themselves and also
others i mean this might sound familiar so as we talked about with self-esteem before
the second part of this process is how that person functions with activities or tasks now this is
despite the uncertainties or challenges that might become apparent with any new experiences that come
from those actions so in short you could have a high level of self-esteem but in some
circumstances very low self-confidence now this is a bit embarrassing but for me self-confidence was
a big issue when i was speaking to large audiences even though i used to get fairly good feedback
after public speaking i can still remember feeling terrified during work presentations and thinking
how unconfident i was i felt at the time but the good news is you can build up your self-confidence
in much the same way as your self-esteem and they will tend to complement each other
when you practice certain activities so do you want to find out what some of these great
activities are if you check out the link in the video description below and you'll find the full
article on the mindset universe website now the self-esteem superpower is my personal favorite
and it when i first discovered it it surprised me how simple this technique actually is
so that's the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence i'd love to know if this helps
you at all and also what you think of the full article on the website let us all know in the
comments below the video thanks for watching and as always try not to worry when you don't have to
