“HAND OF SELF-ESTEEM / DIGNITY / HUMANITY”

The Hand of Self-Esteem ® is a therapeutic tool and method that utilizes one’s own hand, an image of a hand, and hand gestures to learn and remember phrases related to self-esteem and self-worth. These positive beliefs are intended to resurface in situations that challenge one’s self-esteem. 

Make a picture of your own unique hand!

Thumb: I’m OK as I am.

Forefinger: I have the right to be myself.

Middle finger: I don’t need to please everyone.

Ring finger: I’m a faithful friend to myself.

Little finger: I take care of my inner child.

Palm: My existence is a miracle and it has a purpose.
