The four aspects of mindfulness that predict higher self-esteem

1) Labeling internal experiences with words, which might prevent people from getting consumed by self-critical thoughts and emotions;

2) Bringing a non-judgmental attitude toward thoughts and emotions, which could help individuals have a neutral, accepting attitude toward the self;

3) Sustaining attention on the present moment, which could help people avoid becoming caught up in self-critical thoughts that relate to events from the past or future;

4) Letting thoughts and emotions enter and leave awareness without reacting to them.
