Exfoliate Your Life
We tend to become complacent with ourselves because Life's circumstances may alter our perception to become a pessimist. What I want is the opposite for you - to be OPTIMISTIC throughout Life. It's so much better to deal with Life situations with a positive outlook. I've been down roads that seem like it wasn't going to change. I had to remember - this too shall pass. Stand strong through Life's storms. Exfoliate yourself! Shed those layers of negativity until you unleash your GLOWING personality.
Why Am I Special?
Always remember you are unique and you are important. Think of yourself as a flower that flourishes when it's nurtured and wilts when it isn't. There is no one else in the world quite like you. There never has been and there never will be anyone like you again. Don't let people take away your respect for yourself. No matter what they say or do remember that you are very important and a worthwhile person, and always retain respect for yourself. They can't take away your self respect and dignity, for you control what you think of yourself and no one else.
Self-Esteem - What Is It?
Webster's defines self-esteem as: belief in oneself; self-respect. This meaning can be expanded to include terms like self-confidence and pride. Self-esteem is the combination of self-confidence and self-respect and the conviction that you are competent to cope with Life's challenges and are worthy of happiness. Self-esteem is the way you talk to yourself about yourself.
People With High Self-Esteem Has:
* Confidence within themselves.
* Ability to solve problems rather than just worry about them.
* Ability to confront or eliminate the things that frighten them.
* Ability to take reasonable risks and take those risks.
* Ability to nurture themselves.
We are all capable of increasing our self-esteem, no matter how high or low we may feel on any given day. The good feelings we can generate about ourselves are limitless. Most important, these feeling are within our control, independent of how the rest of the world views us.
The first step in building self-esteem is to accept yourself now "As Is" before you attempt to improve. Self acceptance and self knowledge is the key to creating positive self-esteem. When you know and accept yourself you feel better. When you feel better, you do more. When you do more, you accomplish more. When you accomplish more, your self-confidence zooms. As your self-confidence increases, so does your self-respect. With more self-respect, your overall level of pride increases. And when you have more pride, self-respect, and self-confidence, you can confidently say that you have more self-esteem. You feel more comfortable with yourself.
You can't like others if you first don't like yourself first, and other can't like you, either. Self-esteem informs every relationship about who you are. It's not only the "real" you who lives in your relationships -- it's also the self-esteem within you. A good, strong self-esteem shows off the best of you; a low self-esteem underscores the worst. Nurturing your relationship with yourself is the first essential step in nurturing your relations with others.
