International Boost Self-Esteem Month | Help avoid clinical depression

The International Boost Self-Esteem Month is annually observed in February. It is a period set aside in the year to help us believe in and appreciate ourselves more, despite whatever we may be facing. Self-esteem is generally defined as “an individual’s subjective evaluation of their worth.” It is a psychological construct that predicts certain outcomes, such as happiness, satisfaction, and achievement.

For those with existing mental health struggles, such as severe depression and anxiety, boosting self-esteem can increase feelings of worth and help you manage feelings of sadness, emptiness, etc. If you suffer from clinical depression, or simply feel your self-esteem could use a boost, there are ways you can help yourself. Some methods may fit better for you than others. Yet, they are all worth a try.

Throughout the month of February we will be posting methods that will help contribute to your self-esteem and boost your feelings of worth - follow us on Instagram and Facebook to watch.
