SUMMARY:Tips to Building Self-Esteem
DESCRIPTION:Self-esteem = how much we like ourselves. \nHow much we like ourselves = our ability to get ourselves to actually do\, what we want ourselves to do; in other words\, self-discipline and self-trust. \nCan you recall the last time you were in an emotional slump\, that your beliefs in yourself and your abilities were slipping away? How can we maintain the beliefs we have in ourselves\, so that we can live with less anxiety and more joy? \nJust imagine the things we would accomplish if we had the belief that we could do absolutely anything\, especially if we could maintain a level of self-esteem that no circumstance could shake. What would you be doing? \nSelf-esteem comes from positive self-imaging\, and it is something that we proactively build for ourselves. Self-esteem doesn’t happen while we wait passively. What we want is a rock-solid foundation\, and this only comes from building it within. \nI’ve learned that the way we view ourselves directly affects everything we do. Let’s start building or “enhancing” our self-esteem with 13 tips! \nAbout the Presenter \nVera Teller\, Ph.D. is coach\, lecturer\, and author.
