Self Esteem, Katie Crabb

Research studies show that high self esteem is good for your health and happiness. These brief daily activities can be helpful in raising self esteem

If life seems boring and depressing, perhaps a big dose of daily self esteem help is just the spark you need for a happier life. The self esteem activities suggested here take just a few minutes each day and research studies indicate high self esteem is beneficial to your health.

Research Studies

Self esteem correlates with happiness and life satisfaction according to psychological researcher Christopher Peterson, author of A Primer in Positive Psychology. The higher your self esteem, the greater your reported happiness and satisfaction with life. The converse is also true, lower self esteem correlates with low life satisfaction and happiness. It behooves us to be aware of our own feeling of self esteem, taking steps to improve it when we're feeling down.

Improving Relationships

Researcher David Schmitt, PhD, associate professor of Bradley University's Psychology Department, reports that high self esteem also correlates with relationships. When we have strong relationships we feel better about ourselves than when our relationships are troublesome. Strong relationships, strong self esteem.

Start with Compassion

A good building block for improving self esteem is to first work to grant self-compassion. Research studies suggest "it should be easier to teach people with low self-esteem to be self-compassionate than to teach them to have higher self-esteem," reports WebMD Medical News reviewer Brunilda Nazario, MD, August 22, 2005.
