Self-Esteem: The Main Ingredient!
Posted by: | CommentsSelf-Esteem is a life or death issue! Only when you feel respectful of yourself, can you be respectful of others and other living things. You can give only what you have, nothing more. Therefore, you love, earn money, communicate, have relationships, manage, teach, sell, parent, nurture, and accept differences, based only on your Self-Esteem!
Self-Esteem, as I use the term, is the self respect you feel for yourself. It is a feeling! Psychiatrist and author Carl Jung once said, “We need not pretend to understand the world only by intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling.” Self-Esteem is at the core of all you think, say, do, and feel. Self-Esteem affects all seven areas of your life: Spiritual, Social, Mental, Physical, Financial, Family and Career. You can observe Self-Esteem in the behavior you and others display on a moment-to-moment basis. Please be aware that your Self-Esteem is always fluctuating, it is always in process, it is intangible, and it is recognized in your behavior. As a result, you may feel very respectful of yourself one moment while in the next, your Self-Esteem can be in the pits.
How do you FIX yourself, marriage, family, career or business?
Posted by: | CommentsYou need to take a big and small picture view of your situation. In terms of the big picture ask yourself, what is most important to you? If you don’t do something to make it better what will it cost you and others? What is the easiest next step?
For the short term break your next steps into very practical and specific baby steps that are measurable. Like, I will communicate what I need and want to my spouse and children. Assess your progress each day, week and month. Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10. In fact ask others for feedback on how you are doing.
Get an accountability partner, coach or mentor to help you stay on track.
Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen? If you can live with that then the best that can happen will come to you. If you want to get past the ordinary you need to intensify your activities so the extraordinary can exist.
