Think of your self esteem as a brick wall.
When you add the bricks and mortar to the wall you are literally building your general mental health.
With each brick added the wall becomes bigger and stronger and less likely to crumble and fall down.
You are building your self esteem and adding all the resources you have and need inside to complete the wall.
This could be confidence, self worth, positivity, courage or happiness.
By thinking of your mental health in this way very soon you will have an indestructible wall!
