Some days your inner critic is the loudest voice in the room. This self-esteem workbook helps you turn it down. Rooted & Worthy is a 53-page printable PDF packed with self-worth worksheets, reflection prompts and simple trackers for teens (13+) and adults. You can work through it alone, or use the pages as ready-made counseling handouts.
It’s warm, not preachy. Each page asks one honest question and leaves you plenty of room to answer.
What This Self-Esteem Workbook Does
It walks you through eight short parts. You start by finding out where you are right now with a 12-question check-in that scores out of 60. Then you dig into where your beliefs came from, talk back to your critic, collect proof of your strengths, sort out your values and boundaries, and build confidence one small step at a time.
At the end you retake the check-in on a side-by-side “Then & Now” page. Seeing your score move from 35 to 44 says more than any pep talk.
