A two-minute check-in

Which of your buckets needs a top-up?

We often group self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence and self-compassion under one big heading, like they’re all the same goal. But in reality, you need to prioritise all four areas in order to feel good about who you are as a person. Use this quiz to see which bucket might need a little extra pouring into right now.

Self-Worth

Internal character & values

Self-Esteem

External goals & achievements

Self-Confidence

Competence & skills

Self-Compassion

Self-kindness & common humanity

Go with your gut. This is a reflection, not a psychological assessment.

Here’s how your buckets look right now

This is a snapshot of how things feel right now, not a fixed verdict on who you are. Our buckets fill up and run low all the time depending on what’s going on in life, so it’s normal for this to look different another week.
