Bringing Up Our Self-Esteem

Hey it’s Melissa, and I’ll be talking about how health can affect our self-esteem.

First of all, self-esteem is what we think of ourselves and it can be affected in many ways. It can be affected by what we eat, and what we do.

What we eat is very important because it can help improve our body image. Eating healthier for me was hard because I have always eaten more junk food than anything else. When I changed my eating habits to more healthy choices, I gained more confidence and was able to think of myself with a more positive aspect. Ever since I was a young girl, I have always been bullied and that brought my self-esteem down. But since I decided to put my mind onto my health, my self-esteem became more positive.

Doing physical activities in an area where there are other people can help too.

Doing sports and exercising in the park or gym is one example. Interacting with others can help bring up your self-esteem and improve your mental health too.

My favorite physical activity to reduce stress is running. Running each day helps me reduce stress because when I think of a problem, it goes away because I am more focused on what I am doing. Most of the time, I run on the treadmill that my mother has at home, but I sometimes spend my time outside running with my dog in the park to get fresh air. It makes me happy to see that I am becoming healthier and having a positive attitude towards myself.

So what are things you can do to have a more positive and healthy self-esteem?
