Self-esteem is more than feeling good about yourself, although that in itself is huge. Self-esteem can move you through any situation, including ones that are frightening, overwhelming, or even life-threatening.
Positive self-esteem is empowered energy that you can harness as the creative force it is. How you think about yourself affects your experiences, wellbeing, relationships, and all aspects of your life. This is self-esteem in action – driving your thoughts and feelings to create the life you want.
How can we turn low self-esteem around?
First, change where your self-esteem resides. It is common to place your self-esteem within the context of a relationship or other’s perception of you. Whether it be a new love interest, long time partnership, or a friendship you value – it can be easy to place too much stock in someone else’s perception of you. This isn’t about how you interact within those relationships, but what you internalize from them, which ultimately can reshape your self-esteem! God made you as you, don’t let others change you by influencing your perception of yourself.
What’s most important is how you feel about yourself!
So, how do you feel about yourself? What is the value you place on your own existence? Does it change when you are active towards a purpose vs times you feel lonely or unmotivated?
What do you feel is valuable about you? The list of what you may consider as your valuable qualities can be endless. For example, it could be economically driven, intellectual, physical/sexual, or how you interact with others. Maybe you see the most value within your core values, like your kindness, ability to solve problems, caring towards animals, or truthfulness.
An evaluation of what you base your self-esteem on, helps refocus your goals and let go of the aspects that hold you back. With this approach, you are defining yourself in a new exciting way – one that creates boundaries and prevents others from being able to define who you are. You are claiming your empowered creative force, instead of being concerned of other’s perceptions.
Self-esteem is the single most important issue we face as individuals, because without it we can’t reach our full potential or experience the fullness of life. And, collectively when so many are stuck in low self-value, it holds back the progress of all of society!
Imagine if each of us could raise our self-esteem and love ourselves more. It would have an amazingly positive impact on you, your life and the world we live in. True divine nature is one of love, harmony, peace, and compassion. Let these aspects be a guiding force in how you view and value yourself.
Know that you are valuable. You matter. Your individual skills and gifts are meaningful. You do not have to be like anyone else. Your best shines through, when you accept and like who you are.
