How to Increase Your Self-EsteemWritten by Susan Dunn, MA Clinical Psychology, The EQ Coach
Self-esteem is one of those things you earn by doing things. If you are not doing all you’re capable of, you know this, and so you can’t talk yourself into self-esteem. It’s hard to fool most important person – you. Take some action today that will make you feel good about yourself. This could be something as simple as cleaning out one closet! We always feel good after a “job well done.”Then work on your self-talk. How we talk to ourselves generates over a lifetime. First become aware of what you say to yourself all day long. 80% of our “conversation” is with ourselves. If you’re saying, “I’m a failure,” this is what your brain is hearing, and it will work to make this come true. Cancel this thought (say “cancel, cancel”) and put something else in there, “I, Marianne Delmer, am on my way to success,” or something like that. Be careful how you word things like this, because your subconscious will hear it without negative, i.e., you don’t want to be saying, “I, Peter Aylward, am not a failure,” because your subconscious hears “failure.” See difference? You can also try an affirmation such as “Every day I’m getting better and better.” Envision end goal. Don’t limit things by being too specific. If you want to feel better about yourself, that’s place to start. The 12-Step Programs suggest if you don’t want to quit, first pray to want to quit. If you want to succeed, first pray to want to succeed. Wanting something gives us motivation! Remember that your ___ years, whatever your age is, have produced your current self-talk, and so this won’t change overnight. Affirmations only work if you are diligent and consistent, and this will be a good exercise for you because you need to work on diligence and consistency as well.
| | Exactly What in the ---- is an article anyway?Written by Dani Percival
One woman's struggle to find answer.My mission, or assignment should I say is to write an article dealing with "HOW TO'S" of a topic dealing with Home Businesses or likes thereof. The very thought of me being or pretending to be an expert at anything makes me nervous and my stomach turn! Sure, I own my own business and am associated with many affiliate programs, but a know-it-all or writter, I am not. Question upon question kept running through my mind, like: !. What is an artical? 2. Should I write about all technical "stuff" 3. Or is it more like a story(like newspaper)? 4. Do you have to write an autobiography at end (you know little box at end that everyone knows you write yourself complete with bragging rights) 6. Is it just your personal opion about a topic of your choice? 7. Should it be educational and informative? 8. What's appropriate lenght? 9. Will everyone flip because I didn't follow directions? 10. Who in their right mind would want to read anything I wrote anyways? And so on........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ You get pitchure.
