CBT Post: Self Esteem and Components of Beliefs

[flamingsword]

Beliefs mean different things to different people. Some people are working on the unhealthy belief that they are worthless. But what does that mean to them? One opposite healthy belief might be that they have value, but people value things differently. Some people see things as valuable that others don't value at all, so the components of their beliefs about value will be different. Areas of life people may perceive as having value are:

Education / academics

Helping others

Arts / creativity

Business accomplishments

Religious or political participation

Kindness and compassion

Scientific advancement and exploration

Being a good friend or family member

Protecting or advocating for children

Animal rescue

Entertaining others

& a host of other things
