Because of the hurdles dyslexia cause, many people with it often fight feeling “the blues." In fact, occasionally feeling down or having a low self-esteem is a very common, even natural part of the dyslexia experience. The problem is when these feelings last for longer periods of time, which may be a sign that we need to reconsider how we -- as a dyslexic person and as a culture -- are coping.

This video suggests helpful strategies, both internal and external, to calm the internal chatter that stops us from being our happiest, most successful selves.
