The self-esteem It is synonymous with the opinion we form about ourselves, a subjective assessment of our worth. Therefore, we understand self-esteem as a term we have for our own value, based on sensations, emotions, experiences and thoughts about ourselves that we have stored throughout our lives.
Throughout the day, many evaluations, impressions and experiences can be generated. All of these together produce a positive feeling towards ourselves or, on the contrary, a negative feeling if the result is not what we expected.
The opinion we have of ourselves is not something hereditary, but is learned based on the evaluations of our behavior, and the internalization and assimilation of other people's opinions of ourselves. Therefore, Self-esteem depends on personal acceptance, never about what you are, know or have.
Self-esteem is fundamental because it drives us to act, to follow our path and motivates us to pursue our goals. In this context, it is an aspect that is constantly evolving, as we are always experiencing new things. This concept is built from when we are children, as we never stop growing. That is, an idea is formed about who we are, whether we are accepted or not and whether we are liked or not. Expectations are formed, and these will allow you to be happy with yourself or not. In short, people will develop high or low self-esteem.
Always do it for and by yourself
Life is four days long, and three have already passed. Let's not be here in a bad mood, let's be here in a good mood, let's love each other. Let's not hate each other, because hate leads nowhere, only to bad things. Pau Donés.
Going to therapy is also an act of self-love.

Being patient with ourselves means slowing down our self-demands, allowing ourselves to make mistakes and stopping wanting to control everything.
The lack of patience can lead us to have a tiring, unbalanced, chaotic life and pay very expensive emotional bills. Patience is applied from emotional intelligence, where we are aware of both our emotional strengths and our weaknesses.
