D. The need to reach your potential

Different people have their own unique way of dealing with strong emotions and difficult situations. However, some people do better in creating a balance between life activities than others because they are resilient. These people react positively and adapt effectively in all situations. This indicates that these people are mentally healthier than those people who have a hard time responding and coping with the normal stresses and challenging events in life.

Poor mental health can negatively impact the physical health of a person in several ways:

1. If you are worried, you tend to have difficulty in falling asleep; hence, not getting enough hours of sleep.

2. If you are worried, you tend to consume an unhealthful diet; hence, getting insufficient vitamins and nutrients.

3. If you are worried, you tend to stop exercising on a regular basis.

One way to improve self-esteem is to avoid setting unrealistic expectations because no one is perfect. If you expect that everything is going to be perfect, then it would only encourage you to criticize yourself. This would prevent you from enjoying the successes and any positive event in your life.

In this case, it would be good to accept that there are things you cannot control. In the event that you encounter things that you cannot change, then just pay attention to the things that you can change or control.

From Maslow’s law of hierarchy, we see that a person needs to have a sense of achievement and should feel recognized before he reaches the stage of self-actualization, a stage in which one strives to be the best he can be. People with poor self-esteem tend to struck in the fourth stage as they keep blaming themselves and never feel achieved or recognized. In contrary, the people with good self-esteem feel proud and confident and move to the next level in which they want to bring out the best in them.

A person who possesses healthy self-esteem tends to have confidence in his own skills and abilities to confront challenges and to try out new things. In this case, an individual who exhibits a sense of personal worth and a sense of competence has the motivation to unlock their full potentials. This happens because of their drive to grow and to become better.
