Work Ethics Self-Esteem

Self-Esteem:

Self-esteem is a term in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. 'The self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem, the positive or negative evaluation of the self, is how we feel about it'. ^[2] A person’s self-concept consists of the beliefs one has about oneself, one’s self perception, or, as Hamlyn (1983: 241) expresses it, “the picture of oneself

  

 How can we improve our self esteem?

• Focus on our achievements -  It doesn't matter what these achievements are only that they are important to you.
• Make plans for the future - Make a list of things you want to do or want to change and start thinking about how to make a start.  Then take a breath and just begin. You won't look back!
• What you like about yourself - if you have low self esteem you probably keep reflecting on the things you don't like about yourself but if you reverse this thinking it is much more helpful.
• What can you change that will make you feel better about yourself? There are two kinds of changes you may wish to focus on. The first are changes in your life and how you live it
• Accept yourself and who you are - there are many things about your personality and character and your life that you may not be able to change and that shouldn't hold you back. Learn to accept those things and understand why you can still be happy and feel good about yourself despite these things. Try saying - well at least I am reasonably well off or at least whatever you can think of that is positive. At least turns a negative into a positive.

What I can do to make a difference in my attendance: set my alarm clock at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Layout my close for work or school the night before. Get to bed on time so that I'm well rested for the next day. Little things we do in our everyday lives affects our attendance at work and school.
