Self-Esteem and Assertion

Self-esteem and assertion are essential to the enjoyment of life and relationships.

A persons’ self-esteem is a affected by gender issues; their believes and life experiences; and, how they were parented. At any point in time, your self-esteem is going to be affected by how you are being loved, how successful you feel, and how well you are ~ both mentally and physically.
