Self-esteem begins with self-understanding, grows with courage and perseverance, ends with confidence. - Maxime Lagacé

February is International Boost Self-Esteem Month

International Boost Self-Esteem Month (February)

Self-esteem, simply put, is how you feel about yourself. And while our self-esteem begins to develop in early childhood, it is not set in stone. In fact, self-esteem is ever-changing throughout your life. There may be times when your self-esteem is at an all time high, and others when it has taken an undesirable dip, perhaps due to a stressful life event or mental health struggle, like clinical depression. Everyone has the power to develop their self-esteem independent of help from others, and the benefits are significant.
