Self Concept is an important factor in your self esteem
Self concept is how you see yourself and is important because how you act and communicate with others is connected closely with this. It is clear that to have a high level of self esteem you will need to have a positive self view and the opposite is also true. A negative self view will lower your self esteem because you will be focused on your failings and your insecurity will lead to a low level of self confidence.
Concept means idea so your self concept is the idea that you have about yourself. The way you see yourself, of course, may be completely different to how others see you. There are ways to improve this however. First though think about what you think of yourself right now and whether or not it is holding you back.
Questions to ask yourself
Are you happy with how you look?
Have you got an attractive personality?
Are you likeable?
Are you sociable or a bit shy?
Are you honest?
Are you a good person?
Are you able to communicate well?
Are you positive?
Are you fun to be with?
Are you decisive?
Do others respond to you positively?
Are you confident?
Do you live your values and according to your beliefs?
If you answer no to any of the above then focus on that question and ask yourself how you can change that no to a yes maybe first trying for sometimes. This exercise will not only tell you what your present self concept is but how to improve it and I wish you good luck with that. It will help enormously in every area of your life if you can see yourself more positively.
