SCORE From 1 – 6 give yourself 1 point for every yes From 7 – 12 give yourself 1 point for every no From 13 – 14 give yourself 1 point for every no From 15 – 17 give yourself 1 point for every yes From 18 – 20 give yourself 1 point for every no From 21 – 29 give yourself 1 point for every yes If you scored 0 - 6 your self esteem has hit rock bottom. You let people tell you things about yourself that aren’t true, and when you are accused of something, you believe them even though you KNOW it isn’t true. Your self-doubt is strong. You aren’t sure there is anything good about yourself. But take heart, you can grow from here, right now every day just a little bit more. Begin by looking for ways to care for your needs a little more, for instance, can you eat more nutritious meals? Drink more water? Make sure you are warm and safe? Can you find some peace in your day? You can take responsibility for how you feel, and nurture yourself into a more loving space. You can stop accepting responsibility for other people’s feelings - How they feel is up to them. You must take better care of you by being kind to you and your children. Let go of the ‘friends’ who abandon you, hurt you or are unkind to you. Keep the friends who believe in you. Because you ARE worthy. How do I know this? Because we all deserve it, we really do. Stop believing yourself, and start believing IN yourself. If you scored 6 - 12 You’re self-esteem is fragile. You know you’re a good person, but you don’t think many people can see it. Cruel people take you advantage of you, and still you doubt yourself as to whether or not you deserved it. You didn’t. you don’t. You haven’t done anything wrong. Raise your self-esteem through acknowledging yourself at least 100 times a day for your intelligence, caring, generosity and any other virtues you see in yourself. Take action towards taking care of yourself, and when you feel self- doubt - Talk yourself into a better place. You really do deserve more. If you scored 12 – 18 Your self-esteem wavers. Sometimes you know you can do it, and sometimes you think you're going to fail. You blame yourself for things you didn’t do, and you also take credit for things you do well. You are on the verge of raising your self-esteem to great heights, so don’t give up on yourself. You’re doing very well, and with a bit of intervention you will be able to heal the wounds that keep tripping you towards self-doubt. If you scored 18 – 24 Your self-esteem is good. You take responsibility for yourself and you don’t let yourself down. You can, however, suffer from self-doubt. If you are blamed for something you didn’t do, you tend to think they may be right, and you mull it over, but eventually you realise you aren’t responsible for how other people feel, and you take positive action to keep things healthy. You are doing great work. Keep going. If you scored 24 - 29 Your self-esteem is high. You take care of your needs, and you nurture yourself through life’s ups and downs. When something bad happens, you love yourself, and carry yourself through to recovery. You don’t blame yourself for other people’s feelings, and you hold compassion for yourself and others.
