Enhancing Self-Esteem through Self-Compassion

Self-esteem can be compared to the human immune system, as it protects us from internal pain and makes us emotionally resilient. That's why it is important to take care of our self-esteem. Healing self-esteem can be achieved through self-compassion. If you feel the urge to criticize yourself, simply do one exercise. Imagine that your friend is suffering from the same problem, write them a letter expressing words of support and empathy. Then, read the letter. These are the words you need to speak to yourself.
