Self-Esteem Activities

The Living Tree – Roots  

May Bleeker has a website with amazing activities for building self-esteem (6 March 2009). 

She has an activity called “The Living Tree”. 

Head over to the website to take a look:  Self Esteem Exercises: Living Tree Self Awareness Activity (doorway-to-self-esteem.com) 

https://www.doorway-to-self-esteem.com/self-esteem-exercises.html

May Bleeker recommends on her website that you may want to consider working on this activity with a therapist. It’s an activity that is meant to increase your self-awareness.  

You’ll need: • Sheet of paper  • Markers, pencils, crayons, etc. 

If once you explore this activity and think it will be a good fit for you to do (either by yourself, with a therapist, or with a support person) then start by drawing the trunk of your tree and focus this week on just “the roots”. 

Mind, Body and Soul Gratitude  

Using either a calendar or journal, write down one thing that makes you smile, happy or laugh each day. 

Be as creative you would like to (i.e. write one word, a sentence, draw a picture, etc.)  

The ABC’s of YOU 

You’ll need: • Sheet of paper  • Markers, pencils, crayons, etc. 

Write out the entire alphabet. 

List a quality about yourself that you like for each letter of the alphabet.
