Self-help author Ben Povlow shares practical strategies you can use to create a healthy level of self-esteem. Some people have an inflated amount of self-esteem, to the point where they become arrogant. Others have very low self-esteem, and constantly feel bad about themselves. There is a place in the middle where you can feel confident without having an inflated ego. In this episode, Ben lays out some of the simple disciplines you can employ to become the happy and healthy person you were born to be. Some of the topics discussed are why it is important to have respect for yourself, how to limit the negative effects of social media, the value of your small achievements, how you can take control of your health, ways to appreciate your uniqueness, and the importance of not comparing yourself to others. This is part four of a series of related topics that will help you take charge of your life.
