Self-esteem is how you think about yourself, see yourself and feel about yourself!
Talking Points:
- #1: Strike a power pose! A power pose is a position of strength so it makes you feel strong.
- #2: Say nice things to yourself. Say something like: “You are awesome!”
- #3: Build others up. If you are able to compliment another person’s good qualities, that means you already KNOW you have good qualities too!
