Self-esteem

The way that that we view ourselves, our own value and worth, and what we feel we deserve, all help to determine how we feel about life in general. A low sense of self esteem and lack of confidence can be factors in holding us back from achieving the things we want in life. People who have a minimal sense of their own worth, can struggle with a lack of energy or enthusiasm which can add to their feelings of frustration and low or depressed mood. This in turn can add to feelings of not being good enough or feeling you never achieve the things you want in life.
