Introduction

My dear reader!

Self-esteem and self-evaluation will be discussed in this book. I know that many people confuse the two and sometimes use them synonymously. It is a fact that the two terms are very closely related, although they do not necessarily mean the same thing.

The first half of the book will be about self-esteem, or as I call it, self-love, and the second half will be about self-assessment, so as the name implies, the evaluation and definition of ourselves.

In the exercise part, the point will be to think. The structure of the Exercise will sometimes resemble a questionnaire, with the difference that there will be no evaluation at the end. This exercise is the true completion and refreshment of what you read and learn, it can also be understood as a kind of summary.

The individual questions are related to individual chapters and parts of the book. If you can't answer immediately, feel free to turn the pages in the book for help, I wrote the questions in direct order. There are no wrong answers to questions related to self-esteem. This will be more about you, but I highly recommend that you go through this practical part as well, because many things may come to light that you did not think about before.

I wish you a good work!

Ok! Let's get started!

Part I. - The Self-Concept

In order to examine self-esteem, that is, to see how we feel about ourselves, it is important to highlight an essential thing called the self-concept, of which self-esteem is one of the important components.

The self-concept consists of three main parts:

1. Self-ideal

2. Self-image

3. Self-esteem

In order to better understand what self-esteem is and why it is important to us, we must choose these concepts separately.

1. The self-ideal is an imagined person who we want to be, that is, who we want to become in the future. It can be either a 100% version of ourselves, the Superman version of ourselves today.

But there can also be a person who is also us, who made up of several other people we admire or look up to. For example, we want a physique like Dwayne Johnson's, we want to be as smart as Elon Musk and we want to be as rich and successful as Mark Zuckerberg. And for women, let's say Jennifer Lopez in terms of physical attributes, Marie Curie in terms of mental abilities, and as for success and wealth, let's say the great Oprah Winfrey.

Of course, when we create the image of our ideal self, it is best to move within reasonable limits and not to imagine a being that is too unrealistic and far cry from the earth, almost God-like, but someone who we can truly become, if we change some of our habits, and we are persistent and determined. This should be a person whom, when we imagine, we already want to act to become like her or him. Someone whose mere thought excites us.

1. The second component of the self-concept: Self-image, that is, how we currently see ourselves. The best way to illustrate this is that this is the ingredient we see when we look in the mirror. Of course, this is only partly true, because in the mirror we primarily only see our physique, our appearance, but this also says a lot about us. In addition, Self-Image is what we think about ourselves in our current situation. It is also called the realistic self, so, unlike the previous ones, it is not a fictional person that we want to be, but the current me, as we currently are, or more precisely as we currently see and think about ourselves.

2. The third and final component of the self-concept: Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves. It can also be said that self-esteem shows how much we love ourselves. It is therefore a building block of our self-concept that best defines us, on which everything else is built.
