CAUSES OF LOW SELF-ESTEEM
We start forming our self-esteem, positive or negative, from the day we are born. We
develop feelings about ourselves that are reinforced by others.
Negative Self-Talk or Negative Auto-Suggestions
This is when we say to ourselves, consciously or unconsciously, statements such as:
♦
I have a poor memory.
♦
I'm not good at math.
♦
I'm not an athlete.
♦
I'm tired.
Such statements only reinforce the negative and put ourselves down. Very soon our mind
starts believing these statements and our behavior changes accordingly. They become
self-fulfilling prophecies.
