Did you know that our ability to experience happiness and satisfaction in life is related directly to our self-esteem? We learn to love ourselves to the extent that we have been loved. How we love and accept ourselves affects our relationships and our ability to love others. Our beliefs and the extent to which we value ourselves is a product of our past experiences, and influences how we feel about ourselves today. Low self-esteem may contribute to depression, anxiety, and decreased productivity and social interaction. The good news is that you can learn to change your beliefs about yourself. As your self-esteem increases, so does your enthusiasm, creativity, energy, and happiness. Self-esteem is the foundation of mental health! Take that first step towards building a healthy foundation by attending a Self-Love & Acceptance Group.
