Building Self-Esteem

What You Judge Won't Budge

Sheila was stuck. Even though she was trying to hard to change some things in her behavior -- especially her anger and her clutter, she found herself doing these things over and over. Then she would get upset with herself, telling herself she was stupid and incompetent.

How often do you tell yourself that you are wrong, bad, inadequate, unworthy, a jerk, stupid, and so on? I've found, in the many years I've been counseling, that most people are frequently inwardly judgmental.

What You Judge Won't Budge

Building Your Self Esteem and Confidence

When it comes to building self esteem and confidence, don't think self improvement, think self development. What's the difference? If you regard personal development as improvement, it suggests that something in you needs to be "fixed". Building self esteem and confidence is a process that involves making changes. Making changes takes time and energy. So one of the best ways to raise your self esteem is to improve your level of energy and dynamism.

Building Your Self Esteem and Confidence

Say Yes to You!

Have you ever had anyone speak to you in a tone that made you feel uncomfortable? And yet, you said nothing. Have you ever done something for someone or with someone that you really didn't want to do? And yet, you did it anyway, only to become resentful later. Every time you say nothing, every time you let it slide, every time you do something for someone else that you don't want to do, you tell yourself that the other person means more than you. In essence, you give yourself (and others) the message that you don't matter.

Say Yes to You!

What's Self Esteem Got to Do With It?

Self-esteem is described as how you think about yourself. You may have been brought up to caution how you express yourself to others. You temper how you think about yourself so that you don't "get out of line" or become arrogant or "too big for your britches." But the fact is that by tempering yourself, you shrink yourself. And although others may not feel insecure around you if you are not any bigger or more expansive than them, the fact is that you do not get to experience all that there is of you. By being less than you are capable of being and doing for fear of being too big or too great, you are limiting yourself. When you limit yourself, the result is that you are left with a sense that you could be so much more and the world loses out because you are not giving all that you have " to BEING YOU! The more "you" you are, the greater the impact you have on the world.

What's Self Esteem Got to Do With It?

The Need to Feel Special

We all have a need to feel special. It is not the need that is dysfunctional, it is how we go about getting the need met that can be either dysfunctional or healthy. It is dysfunctional when we make others responsible for making us feel special. When others have to give us attention, compliment us, seek us out, and attend to our wants and needs in order for us to feel special, our behavior is dysfunctional.
