  • Self-Esteem: Developing A Strong Belief In Yourself  By : Wendy Betterini
    Inevitably in life, we will face disapproval or rejection from others. It might be a family member, friend, employer, or even a stranger. They might disagree with the way we live our lives, the decisions we make for ourselves, or even who we are. They might belittle our dreams, criticize our goals, or make hurtful comments that reveal a low opinion of us. These experiences can be quite painful, because we all want to be liked and accepted.

  • You Are Not A Victim; You Are Not Alone  By : Colette Kelso
    If you don’t feel good about yourself, you have to fix it. There’s no other way around it. You can’t raise confident kids, have a healthy relationship, or get satisfaction from your job if you don’t. This comes from someone who didn’t, for most of her life, feel worthwhile.

  • Self-Esteem: Being Your Own Cheerleader  By : Wendy Betterini
    Many of us believe that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to have someone else constantly reaffirm to us that we are good people. The truth is, however, that the act of simply believing in ourselves can be enough to give us the necessary confidence to accomplish the impossible, achieve greatness, and pick ourselves up when we fall. Far too often we rely on others in our lives to provide us with a best friend’s kindness, a child’s love, or a spouse’s support. If we ...
  • Self Esteem: You Are Not Who You Think You Are  By : Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
    David sat in front of me at one of my five-day intensive workshops. A successful businessman with a wife and two grown children, David believed that he was not good enough.

    “I’m insufficient,” he said. “I’m inadequate.”

    “Why do you believe that?” I asked.

    “I didn’t do well in school, and I’ve made lots of mistakes in my life.”

    “So you are basing your worth on your performance,...
