Self-esteem is an individual’s subjective evaluation of their own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself (for example, “I am unloved”, “I am worthy”) as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Smith and Mackie (2007) defined it by saying “The self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem, is the positive or negative evaluations of the self, as in how we feel about it.
The concept of self-confidence is commonly used as self-assurance in one’s personal judgment, ability, power, etc. One’s self confidence increases from experiences of having satisfactorily completed particular activities. It is a positive belief that in the future one can generally accomplish what one wishes to do.
Self-confidence is not the same as self-esteem, which is an evaluation of one’s own worth, whereas self-confidence is more specifically trust in one’s ability to achieve some goal, which one meta-analysis suggested is similar to generalization of self-efficacy. Abraham Maslow and many others after him have emphasized the need to distinguish between self-confidence as a generalized personality characteristic, and self-confidence with respect to a specific task, ability or challenge (i.e. self-efficacy).
Concept of two words looks similar. But, there is slight difference between both of words. the former means emotional thing and the latter means more like ability things. so, how meditation can help people to have great self-esteem and self-confidence?

Mental health is the level of psychological well-being or an absence of mental illness. It is the state of someone who is “functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment”. From the perspectives of positive psychology or of holism, mental health may include an individual’s ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
Many famous people leave quotes about mental health. Lady gaga said “Individual acts of bravery and compassion can change the world. It is time to do the same for mental health.” as she said, it is the time for us to change our mind for our mental health. but how to change our mind? until now, it has been hard for human to find the best way to establish great mental health. we thought that traveling, making relationships, drinking, getting hobbies, sports would be a good way to improve mental health. but, these stuffs cannot always solve our mental problem, some stuffs make it even worse. and some mental quotes said we have to accept our mind deeply and honestly. but how we can face our real mind? we don’t even know how to take our mind deeply and honestly. so, what are we going to do?
Meditation is the key solution
Meditation is the key solution for our mental health. doing meditation, we can concentrate on only our inside and can face the real minds we have in ourselves. when we confront our deep and strong negative minds sincerely, we can accept our inside minds. then from that situation, we can let go of our minds which make us anxious, nervous, sad, depressed, angry, overthinking. and we can find real happiness in our mind.
