Self Esteem
means feeling good inside: How to feel good inside
By Karl Perera
Self Esteem is what we experience when we feel good
about ourselves and when we feel good inside. What makes you
feel good inside?
I think when you feel you like what you are doing, where you
are going and feel you have your priorities right. Feeling
good means being satisfied with what you have, with what you
are doing and where you are going.
Don't make the common mistake of comparing your achievements
to someone else or to what you believe you should have done
up to this point. You will NEVER measure up and you will
bring yourself down.
LOW SELF ESTEEM.
What you need to feel good inside is within your power. It
is not the result but the route to achievement. You will
have high self esteem when you have a sense of direction,
satisfaction about your choices and actions and know that
you are doing your best and doing something good.
- Do your best and you will respect yourself for it. If you
don't you will know. You can cheat others but not yourself.
- Be honest and kind to others. Give yourself NO chance to
be self critical.
- For most people doing good things brings satisfaction and
a good feeling inside. If you have done something wrong and
feel guilty about it your self esteem will suffer.
Try to help others. Spend time with your kids, listen to
others, call someone - be nice! Your self opinion will go up
and you will feel self respect. The bonus is that others
will be
grateful to you and this will also boost your self esteem!
- Focus your thoughts on what is right in your life and on
what you like. How can you make things better? Don't neglect
ever what you want from life. Some sacrifice is necessary
especially if you have family but you don't have to be a
martyr. Self Esteem will only blossom when you decide to
love yourself.
- One of the benefits of Self Esteem is confidence in
yourself and knowing realistically where you are and where
you are going. But careful - don't aim too high. Keep your
sights on small improvements and planning to get where you
want to be.
Each time you have a small success you can feel
happy and motivated to continue.
- Give and be generous! Give your time and of yourself. By
doing this you will have no guilt when you want to spend
time alone or on your own projects. If you organise yourself
you CAN make time for yourself and others. You will feel
more in balance and will feel you are living your life.
Concentrate on these points and act on them. Next month I
will focus on a different aspect of Self Esteem - being
happy with what you have (how to manage ambition).
