Stress and Self-Esteem
The Confidence Factor
Stress can affect self-esteem and confidence levels by increasing self-criticism, reducing self-assurance, and influencing self-image. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related challenges in maintaining positive self-esteem.
To boost self-confidence, practice stress management techniques such as positive affirmations, self-compassion exercises, and setting achievable goals. Addressing stress enhances self-esteem and promotes a healthier self-concept.
