The first step to discover who you really are is called ____

Successfully completing tasks or projects builds confidence, because each success proves to you that you can do things well.

Three strategies that enhance self-esteem are:

1. Successfully complete tasks that you set for yourself.
2. Ask for and accept honest feedback, and work on your weak areas.
3. Take part in extramural activities.

A: affirm others

Affirming others means encouraging and praising them, which helps to build their self-esteem. Being assertive means standing up for yourself in a respectful way.

B: Media

The media are all the ways information and messages are communicated to large numbers of people, from print and broadcast media to social media. The media is one of the factors that influences how we see ourselves and our self-concept.

Four possible factors that may influence self-awareness and self-esteem are:

1. Family and the way parents treat and support a person.
2. Friends and peer pressure.
3. The media and social media, including images of the ideal body.
4. Personal achievements and failures at school, in sport or in other activities.

Two differences between self-development and self-confidence are:

1. Self-development means working on yourself to become a better person, while self-confidence means believing in yourself and in your abilities.
2. Self-development is about improving your skills, knowledge and behaviour, for example by learning new study skills or setting goals for school, whereas self-confidence is about having faith that you are able to do certain things well.
