SELF-ESTEEM HELP by Dr Ralph Broussard | on June 19, 2013 You are aware of the need for good self-esteem, or you wouldn’t be reading this article. I won’t bore you with why. Self-Esteem help is available and starts with you. I believe you’re a winner and you want to grow as a person or once again you would not have found my blog. Below you’ll find some keys that revolutionized my life and the lives of many others. Enjoy. 1. Please stop comparing yourselves to others. You lose yourself when you try to be like somebody else. The world needs you just as you are! Whatever’s transpired in your life has a purpose. It’s molded you to be unique and gifted, in a way that only you can be. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and move on. Rejoice in your own uniqueness. You’ll never win whatever war you’re fighting when you continue to compare yourself to others. Remember, everybody, has their own stuff. Their own inefficiencies,..their own ‘crooked teeth” and flaws, you just don’t see it from the outside looking in. 2. Get into the habit of saying nice things about you to yourself. Encourage yourself. You are the source of change. Be your own best friend. Self-Esteem help begins with ourselves. Our minds can be our own worst enemy at times. We walk around with a critical mind, judging ourselves without mercy. Let the mind be…it just is, but be graceful to yourself. Compliment yourself as often as you can. Watch your words. Words carry power. 3. Surround yourself with positive supportive people. Who we associate with is critical. It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you’re surrounded by prairie chickens all day. There are a lot of folks out there who will gladly blow out your flame if you let them. Let go of the toxic relationships in your life. You’ll be just fine without them. Be assertive. Don’t let negative people treat you with a lack of respect. Be kind, but be firm. 4. Fill your mind with good stuff. Feed your brain with the positive. Our minds can either be filled with garbage, or life enhancing; life changing information. Books, audio…events. Turn the radio off in the car and listen to someone on audio that can help you be who you want to be, and do what you want to do. Self Esteem help is at your disposal every day. 5. Put things in your life that you enjoy. Sit down and journal about things that you enjoy, things that make you feel good. It might be a new puppy, time on the lake, or a walk in the rain. Whatever those “special moments” are…there’s enough time, if you’re willing to do what it takes to take care of yourself and build your self-esteem. Get a dream; something that makes your heart race when you think about it. A lot of your challenges can be solved by focusing on something that really gets us excited. Go after what it is that you want...stop being a victim. 6. Quit letting your feelings lead you around by the nose. Realize that feelings are emotion, that’s all, nothing wrong about them, they just are. They are not facts, they are not reality. You can change your feelings in a moment’s notice by changing what you’re “focusing” or by changing your physiology (moment, posture, etc.)…so I know that they are not facts. There is no need to go through life struggling. Get a dream, surround yourself with people who cheer you on, and let everyday be an adventure. Self-Esteem help starts with you. Let action cause your feelings to follow suit, not the other way around. Wishing You the Best, Ralph Broussard doctorb3204@gmail
