Want to improve your self-esteem? It's as easy as ABC-123!
So, what exactly does it mean to have high "self-esteem? It’s having confidence in one’s own worth or abilities. Self-esteem is important because it heavily influences your choices and decisions.
When you value yourself and have high self-esteem, it makes you feel secure, valuable and worthy. You have positive, healthy relationships with others and feel confident about your abilities. You’re also much more open to learning and acquiring new skills. Self-esteem affects most aspects of your life. Loving yourself, caring for yourself, creating boundaries and maintaining a healthy, realistic view of yourself is not about self-indulgence; it’s about self-preservation. It’s about learning to love and respect yourself — faults and all.
Improving your self-esteem is really as simple as A, B, C:
Affirm.
Believe.
Conquer.
Affirm – Practice daily affirmations.
Positive & spiritual statements (daily) can help you overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts; these statements can bring you nearer to God and enlighten your soul:

Believe – Trust Him. Trust yourself.
Believing is to accept something as true. Believe that you were “fearfully and wonderfully made…and His works are wonderful!” (Psalm 139:14)
Conquer – Claim the Victory.
To conquer is to overcome, defeat, or gain mastery over a situation, problem, or weakness. Move forward in faith and claim it…there is victory in Jesus! (1 Corinthians 15:57)
