Improving Your Self Esteem

Imagine improving your self esteem to a level where life was enjoyable and inspiring.  A life where you felt like you were a part of something bigger.  Kind of like the feeling you get when you get offered a job or you receive an invitation to a party.  You feel that you are wanted, have some value and feel greater self-esteem.

Why do some people feel that their lives are worthwhile and yet others
feel like they are a waste of space and a burden?

Are their jobs more important?  Is it because they were blessed with a better personality or greater intelligence?  The truth is there could be a dozen reasons why you think someone is better or more deserving or ‘together’ than you.

If you are serious about overcoming low self-esteem you can notice the pattern between those that do have and those that don’t.  The most permanent and powerful way of enhancing self esteem is to look at what these people think of themselves, not what they think of their achievements.

Be very clear that anything you have WILL NOT and CAN NOT make you feel differently about yourself.

The advertisers and marketers do a great job of linking products, goods and services to your self worth and they convince us through clever advertising that owning stuff and having stuff is the way of raising your self-esteem.

When you look at it closely the thought process you go through in raising self esteem by your possessions or achievements is via what you think others will think of you.

If you get the new gadget, car, or house with a certain address you feel better for a short while because you feel that others think of you differently and that makes you feel better about yourself, for about 2 to 9 days if you are lucky.

Improving your self esteem permanently is about changing what YOU think of yourself irrespective of what others think.  In fact you can’t raise your self-esteem while you care what others think of you.

So how do you change what you think of yourself?

You discover who you are, accept it and embrace it.  Cherish the unique individual that you were created as.  You become conscious, grateful and in awe of that which you are and that which created you as opposed to that which you have.

As you become more conscious, which seems to be the only thing to do while here on earth, you transform from believing you are something to knowing that you have that thing.

For example you might think you are the body but as you become directly conscious of reality you know that you have a body.  You then might think you are the feelings and thoughts until you transcend this and see that you have thoughts and feelings and so it goes on into infinity.

You continue to discover the truth and each time you raise your consciousness you permanently raise your self esteem.  Or more accurately you leave behind the illusion of who you falsely think you are and realise you are in reality OK.

The fastest ways I have experienced of improving your self-esteem is through shadow work and also the personal peace procedure of
EFT.

Can you see that improving your self-esteem permanently is about knowing the truth of you in reality, as an existence, as a being rather than trying to make the illusion a better feeling illusion?
