Relationship Skill: Grow Your Self-Esteem

Our self-esteem can be enhanced throughout our life.  The reason I call my blog “Grow With Kristina” is because I feel strongly that people can  strengthen their emotional fitness  by learning new skills that increase their self-worth.

Self-esteem is made up of the feelings and ideas that we have  about ourselves,  how we communicate with others, the rules we have for how we should feel and act, and how we relate to people in the community.

People short change themselves by staying stuck with ideas they formed a long time ago.  It will take concentrated effort to unlearn ideas and coping mechanisms that are limiting. As adults we have the chance to change the habits of thinking and behavior which do not serve us well.  We can do that by learning effective communication skills and take action to create the life we want.  Without taking action and stretching ourselves we can  not change.
