Poor Self Esteem? Time To Up The Love!

Poor self esteem is the same thing as saying one has low self esteem.

What does it mean? What are we experiencing?

It generally means that our lives are not working. We are not “working” and we experience ourselves and our lives as one big struggle.

Having low self esteem stops us from having a life that works and prevents us from being happy, healthy and successful. Self esteem is directly tied to how one honestly, sincerely thinks and feels about oneself. When we think and feel less of ourselves or are being self-critical or self-judgemental, we experience a lack of self esteem.

Now self esteem can fluctuate during the day depending on how one thinks and feels about oneself. If one is having a so called “good day” a person’s self esteem is good. If the opposite is true and one is having a “bad day” then one’s self esteem is not so good.

Where we get into trouble is when our so called “bad days” outnumber the “good days” and our self esteem can get chronically low. We experience low self esteem on a regular basis.
