The first step in developing a positive esteem for yourself is to get to know yourself; to learn about and to appreciate things that are intrinsically you.  That is a natural, God-created temperament that is uniquely you.  When we learn what makes us tick, and learn to fill our needs in healthy ways, we can avoid some of the stress and anxiety we find ourselves in, but struggle to figure out why.  Get out of the trap of comparison and perfectionism.  Understand and appreciate you as an authentic and unique part of a whole.

APS was developed in 1983 by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno, founders of the National Christian Counselors Association.  I also appreciate the use of tools like the Meyers-Briggs and Enneagram.
