Growing Self Esteem

As you get older it may seem like keeping your dreams alive becomes more difficult. It may only seem natural that you put your dreams on the shelf because real life responsibilities have gotten in the way. Yes, it may be more difficult to pursue the things you love when you have to think about putting food on the table and making the mortgage payment. It may be difficult but not impossible.

You may think to yourself that you dream in bright colors, but the road to achieve these goals may be a lot less colorful. Even though the theoretical road may consist of doing things you may not like – it is usually part of the process of success. Your first step of action is figuring out what you really want. This may involve financial goals, or more personal, physical goals.

If you find yourself at a dead end job and want to move ahead, you may have to do so by getting a higher degree. This is your personal decision that is made with the end goal in mind. If you want a higher position, find out what qualifications you will need and work on attaining these qualifications.

Personal training may have been a hobby of yours that you want to convert into a business. You have been thinking that this may relieve you of a depressing job. Your end goal: turning your hobby into a profitable profession. The process may involve building a client base before you even leave your current job!

If you are looking to reinvigorate your life on the personal level, find out what it is you really need in your life. Maybe you still have some doubts about why you broke up with your boyfriend/girlfriend. If you are having doubts about your decision you may be in the get ex back mode. If so, proceed with caution!

Injecting some drive into your life does not have to life altering. It can be as simple as changing your appearance slightly. Trying out a new trend like the women’s brown boots you have been admiring from afar. Maybe it is the time to move a little closer and try something new?

Do not underestimate how simple actions can help change your life. Big dreams begin with taking the first minute steps forward. This, of course, is only applicable if you are willing to challenge yourself.

Nanette Geiger, Law of Attraction Expert , writes… …

A common concern for friends of mine is their assumption that they have to drop 50 pounds and/or be financially independent before they can attract lasting love. This is of course a myth. This is just low self-esteem blocking you from being truly whole.

It is wonderful to desire to look your best, feel your best, have high self-esteem and feel good concerning your money situation. It feels truly wonderful to feel secure, confident, and attractive.

There are a HUGE amount of industries that prey on peoples’ low sense of self-image. At some time or another, we’ve all fallen prey to buying that new exercise machine that promises to make it simple for us to tone up, slim down and have a beautiful self. Supplements, special diets or dieting plans, hair products, skin, teeth, libido, all of it! And these things are all aimed at one basic premise – that we’re not inherently OK the way we already are.

We’re so accustomed to this type of thinking that we never even realize [what is. It’s no surprise that we subscribe to that pattern of thinking. After all, when we are born, on the first day of our life, we’re admired and treated as perfection – mostly. Then almost immediately we’re compared to how our older sibling evolved, at what age they attained this knowledge, learning to sit, crawling, learning the language, and so on. Our hair, our bodies and how they are similar or dissimilar to this one or that. “Oh, she looks similar to Aunt Mary when she was that age.” You understand the pattern.

Begin by analyzing your recurring thoughts and feelings concerning your body. Most people do not actually realize that they have stuck energy or emotions from these early experiences. Negative emotion, whether strong or subtle, does not feel good and many of us just learn to subjugate it, deal with it, or drive it farther into the underbelly of your mind. These influential emotional experiences usually stay buried. We have all heard the term “emotional baggage.” We walk through life with old unresolved, paining, hard to deal with feelings still held somewhere inside of us. These emotions transmit to the Universe to mirror back more of the same. You can free yourself by improving your self-esteem.

Start to change your connection with yourself by creating a list of things you appreciate about you. What really works about your body? What can you love concerning your appearance? Think of 10 things every day that you truly love about your body. Do you like your hands? Are you thankful for working fingers? Make a list of the positive things about you and view your energy and vibrational point of attraction begin to soar. You CAN improve your self-esteem and attract love.

I overheard an interesting conversation the other day. The woman that was talking to another said that she believes we are all ‘connected’.

After thinking it over for a bit, a few questions came to mind.

If we are all connected then why do people feel lonely at times? One would presume that if we were all connected that it would be impossible to feel isolated or lonely.

Another thought is that if we are all connected why do we have so much trouble understanding each other?

Why do people miscommunicate so often? This doesn’t require much explanation because frankly, everyone has experienced the effect of misunderstandings in even the most basic of human communication.

Why do people fear telling others about bad breath, when it is easily solved with a product like therabreath? It is an act of kindness to tell someone.

Why are their wars? If we were so wonderfully connected there shouldn’t be any warfare. Any issues that come up would be rapidly solved by the innated understanding that should come from being connected.

Why is there so much diversity in our various belief systems and backgrounds. Let us face it, many cultures are almost diametrically opposed. One cultures ‘normal’ idea is another’s radical thought. This is similar to freedom fighters and terrorism. What one man calls a terrorist, another man will call a freedom fighter. This is living proof that our perceptions and beliefs are radically different from each other.

Why can such a powerful tool for oral health, such as the Hydro Floss oral irrigator – be a big uknown for so many people?  

One some people call evil, others call good. How can this be? If something is bad or evil, it just is so. Why would someone else call it good?

With so many different ways of thinking, so many different believes, so many different value systems and all the variations of human thinking – how could we be all ‘connected’.

How come more people don’t find out about a good thing, such as Oramd, more quickly, if we are all, ‘connected’? 

I’m not sure there is a good answer to this. All I can say is that if *I* were in charge – all of these problems would go away! Ok- Just kidding. I’m not such an egoist.

I am not sure how to answer these questions, but feel free to comment if you believe you have the answers!
