Classes on Self Esteem in San Francisco
Self esteem is a tricky subject as it’s purely subjective. Per the Oxford dictionary, self esteem is defined as “confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect”. You might base how you feel about yourself from the opinions of others or how you feel others perceive you, but at the end of the day it is how you are viewing yourself. Here are 3 classes that I personally have taken here in the Bay Area that have helped me to increase my own self esteem. I hope you find find this blog post interesting and if you are interested in improving yourself in this area, contact us here.
What Causes Low Self Esteem?
From my experience, low self-esteem can be caused by a combination of internal and external factors. While at the end of the day it is how you view yourself, you might make decisions or think a certain way based interactions with other people, failures in life or the inability to do or not do something. Here are some other points that I have observed:
Negative Self-Perception
A negative self-image, including feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, or a constant focus on perceived flaws or weaknesses, can undermine self-esteem.
Peer Pressure and Social Comparison
Comparing oneself unfavorably to others, particularly in the age of social media, can lead to feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem.
Bullying and Social Rejection
Experiencing bullying, rejection, or isolation from peers can have a profound negative impact on self-esteem.
Critical Self-Talk
Internal thoughts and self-criticism can contribute to low self-esteem. Negative self-talk can reinforce feelings of unworthiness or incompetence.
Unrealistic Standards and Perfectionism
Setting impossibly high standards for oneself and striving for perfection can lead to a constant sense of failure, which erodes self-esteem.
Cultural and Societal Influences
Societal norms, cultural values, and media portrayal of beauty, success, and achievement can shape how individuals perceive themselves and contribute to low self-esteem if they don't conform to these ideals.
Lack of Validation and Positive Feedback
A lack of positive reinforcement, praise, or recognition for one's efforts and achievements can undermine self-esteem. Feeling unappreciated or undervalued can be demoralizing.

Below I list out my top 3 picks for Scientology classes that helped me with my self esteem. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion and based off of my experiences and study.

3. Setting and Achieving Your Goals
While failing to reach goals can lower one’s self esteem, being able to set goals first and then work out step by step how to achieve them is key in feeling good about yourself and your abilities. Some of the biggest losses I’ve had in life have been from not hitting a standard that I had set for myself. This course helped me understand why I couldn’t seem to achieve what I wanted to and helped me break that goal down into bite sized, gradient parts to help me reach a goal. Setting yourself up for failure by not properly mapping out how to get somewhere or achieve something can lead to a big loss in self esteem. Having the knowledge in this course helped me do the opposite of that.
