M8: Activity 2

Building your Self-esteem

• In this activity, we are asked to write down the re-occurring negative thoughts about yourself and then find the evidence that contradicts those statements. Write down both statement and evidence, and keep looking back at it to remind yourself that your negative beliefs about yourself are not true.
• Once you have this completed; write down 3 positive things about yourself and over time – grow this list! Ask your friends, peers and family to share with you something positive that they like about you.
• Changing our opinion of ourselves is the key to building our self-esteem!
