Week 4: Nurturing self-esteem

Provocation

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Henry S. Haskins

Self-esteem is confidence in one’s own worth or abilities. It’s made up of the thoughts, feelings and opinions we have of ourselves. Today we reflect privately on how we see ourselves, and discuss methods to improve our sense of self-worth.

Points for discussion/reflection

•   What are your five best qualities?

 

•   What do you see as your greatest talent? If you can’t decide, ask the people in your group.

 

•   What factors affect your self-esteem? (Consider family, peers)Does your self-esteem ever fluctuate? When is your self-esteem at its highest? When is your self-esteem at its lowest? What factors might be lowering your self-esteem?

 

•   Discuss some practical ways you could improve your self-esteem.

 

Task

Complete the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Developed by sociologist Dr Morris Rosenberg, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale measures self-esteem by asking you to reflect on general feelings about yourself. Indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each statement.
