Low Self Esteem

Low self esteem has been studied, analyzed researched and examined under a microscope. That research has concluded with something that we know intuitively -- a lack of self esteem is bad, it is something to get rid of.

Those who have good or high self esteem have no idea what it is like to have to live with the 'handicap' of a self-image that is far less than they deserve. This condition is learned during childhood and unless something intentional is done to correct it, will stay with a person for a life time.

There are some things you can do to deal with a lack of self esteem. Just like the kid's fire safety mantra -- 'stop, drop, and roll', when you find yourself in a situation where you are challenged you can do the following...

First Steps for Dealing With Low Self Esteem

1. Stop. Then ask yourself "What's the worst thing that could happen". More often that not we imagine outcomes that are far worse than reality. We see our problems as being way more important than they actually are.

Be aware of your circle in influence. Change what you can and minimize risk with what you can't. Instead of worrying -- take action, do something constructive -- empower yourself.

2. Visualize. When you have to perform something for the first time see yourself doing it with finesse. Imagine that you've already done it a billion times. Close your eyes and spend some time really putting in some effort to visualize. If you visualize well it will help you -- your mind doesn't know the difference between something you visualized vividly and something you actually experienced.

3. Model. Search for someone who is excellent at the task you are faced with. Copy them. Copy as much of their behaviour as you can. Copy their, attitudes, their confidence and so on. Get as close to your model as you can. Be a keen observer, ask questions if you can.

4. Pretend. Just like you did when you were a kid. Yes, this is serious. Pretend that you have all that you think you don't have. How you would be acting if you were uber confident? How would you move? How would you communicate? What would your body language be like? If you pretend something often enough, long enough you will have developed a new habit, a habit of high self esteem.

5. Futurize. Project yourself into the future and ask yourself if what you’re faced with now is anything to get upset over. This might sound like it's a bit lame but this will give you some reassurance to carry on. Putting things in a better perspective tends to wipe out fear that creates self esteem issues.

6. Ask. Nothing ventured -- nothing gained. Not asking for things is like wishing to win the lottery but never buying a ticket. If you want something ask for it! Optimists aren't always right but they do well simply because they find the odd chances that pessimists don't. Just think about how much further ahead you'd get if you believed that everyone you met, worked with and socialized with wanted to help you, if only you'd ask?

7. Silence. Get that pesky nagging, negative, pessimistic, complaining internal voice to shut-the-flip-up! That voice will make sure you have low self esteem forever.

Do this -- imagine you have a volume control knob inside your head, lower the volume. Or change the inner voice to sound like Daffy Duck, or like it's just been breathing from a helium balloon. The point is that if your inner voice 'sounds' like you -- you'll pay attention and obey it, but if it sounds like Daffy... you most likely won't.

Is there anything else?

So how do you deal with low self esteem? What should your first approach to low self esteem help be?

Self esteem is totally a result of what is in your mind it is the result of your thoughts and nothing else. To alleviate the symptoms of low self esteem you absolutely must change your thoughts.

The fastest and most effective way to change your thoughts is by using affirmations -- affirmations combined with brainwave entrainment. Entrainment will put your mind into a receptive state and affirmations will inject esteem boosting thoughts into your subconscious mind.

The result will be an increase in self esteem without years of therapy. Do you want relief from low self esteem? Do you want your life back again? Do you want self esteem help?
