Many things can help to build your self esteem…….
….and many others things in life can go to build your self esteem almost automatically.
But when self esteem is low the above things can seem like a million miles away and thus very difficult to grasp.
But self esteem can also be built with no reason.
Many times in life we are chained to the wheel……and see effect from outside of ourselves.
We feel good if we get praise from another, if we climb the ladder of success to some goal or achievement……
But can’t we simply like ourselves simply because we are!
Not because we are perfect, not because we are admired by others and thus feel okay about admiring ourselves.
Can you build your self esteem simply by saying that it is, that you are and that that is enough.
Low self esteem is brought about in many cases because we the bar is set by a false ideal which has been promoted and marketed to us all of our lives by Madison Avenue…..and now if we don’t live up to that we feel inadequate.
Well look…..SNAP OUT OF IT……
You are……..
Acknowledge that fact.
You can choose to have your thoughts and feelings corrupted and perverted by advertising gurus if you want, but you don’t have to.
It brings us back to Eleanor Roosevelt……it’s about giving your consent.
You can build your self esteem with no reason and for no reason other than you will feel better.
Simple affirmations work very well…….I am fantastic…….I am great…….I am what I am and what I am is fantastic.
The beauty of this is that you don’t actually need anything to back it up……simply say it and your self esteem will build.
Only when you compare your self to the impossible dream of the ad men will you question it…..but here is the news…….you don’t have to compare yourself to that impossible dream…….
I hope my words help.
