Enjoy these curated reading selections (books, journals, and workbooks) for building your self-esteem, increasing self-love and care. Included are readings on building confidence and managing imposter syndrome.
Self-esteem is the foundation of a healthy ego. A healthy ego does not overrate oneself or belittle oneself. A healthy ego operates in the adult ego state and adjusts behaviors as needed for personal growth.
Self-care aids to the formation of healthy self-esteem. When you are neglecting your self-care, it is difficult to help others without resentment or burnout. When you are caring for yourself, you are more capable of helping others. Self-care is a fundamental part of healthy adult living.
Self-love comes gradually. Sometimes when you have hated upon yourself for a very long time, you will need to begin with habit changing. Start your self-care routine and notice how self-love will gently follow. Once you begin to experience a small amount of self-love, you will want to increase this and spread it about.
Enjoy the work on self!
