Loving Yourself

As you adapt to living with pain, you often have to give up activities and roles that you truly enjoy. The more you give up your roles and activities, the more you may find that you feel low about yourself. The way you feel about yourself, is often referred to as self esteem.

Self-esteem is how you honestly feel about and value yourself and chronic pain can negatively impact this. A healthy self-esteem can increase your confidence and problem-solving abilities, while also improving personal relationships.
