Getting a strong sense of self can be difficult because as children our sense of self is based on what we are taught, told and shown by parents, teachers, religious leaders, television and the environment around us. Without proper guidance our entire sense of self is based on the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of others. We grow up wondering who we are and feel defeated and without hope. No matter your age you can develop your sense of self. Start by taking an inventory. Who are you? What do you like? What parts of your life give you joy and make you happy. DON’T list your good and bad qualities. List what you like, what you enjoy, what gives you joy. Start looking at who YOU really are.
