Build Your Self-Esteem Today 

Self-Esteem Building With Creative Counseling 101

What is exactly is creative self-esteem building? If self-esteem is how we appreciate and care for ourselves, then Creative Counseling Self-Esteem is how we go about building our self-esteem. When we have a strong self-esteem we value ourselves and others.

Creative self-esteem is flexible with a creative edge. We look at the world differently when we solve problems creativity. Problems become opportunities to do something different with our lives. We trust that we are creative enough to work through and solve our problems and increase our self-esteem.

We make peace with our positive parts, and learn to be kind and even love our negative parts of the self. It is easy to name all the positive parts of your inner self. But can you name the parts of yourself that are negative? This takes acceptance, practice, and often counseling.

When we learn to love and accept our negative parts of the self as we do our positive parts of self we see an increase in self-esteem.

Below are some examples of using Creative Self-Esteem:

Not being afraid of what others think of you helps your self-esteem.

Being able to laugh at your mistakes and learn from them helps self-esteem.

Using creativity each day can increase our self-esteem and problem solving. Creativity sharpens the mind and expands our awareness. I believe we need to be teaching creativity to people of all ages to help them solve their problems in life.

If you can teach a child how to be creative thinker you have taught them how to survive, thrive, and even rule the world. By teaching children and adults how to think in a creative way you have taught them the skills to become a happier person for the rest of their life.

This is why I am a Creative Counselor.
