Have you ever noticed that there are no books or programs on how to lower your self esteem? Why do you we have such a problem with low self esteem? Granted, there are people who think a little too highly of themselves, but that's another subject. Here's my theory about why low self esteem is so common: We're all born with the need to love and be loved. No parents can meet this need perfectly--even the best parents. So we all experience pain and sorrow as a natural part of life. Then we develop fear of being hurt again. And then we develop anger, as a way of protecting us from what hurt us and made us sad. We learned that we were not supposed to have emotions of pain, fear and anger--but they kept on happening. So, we feel bad about ourselves (low self esteem) for how we feel inside. Of course, there are a lot of other reasons you can end up with low self esteem. Here are a few: not being loved enough or in the right way, not being taken care of as a child, being physically, emotionally or sexually abused. How To Raise Your Self Esteem First of all, I want to refer you to this entire page on self esteem. I want to highly recommend a CD program that I have used both personally and professionally. This high quality audio program covers all of the bases to give you what you need to raise your self esteem. Learn more or get your copy on this web page. Here are some other things you can try: Learn all about self love and how to feel really good about who you are inside. Practice Goodfinding skills, and learn to focus on what is good, right and working in you and the world around you. Learn to nurture and care for your inner child, one of the best ways I know of to increase your self esteem. Here are some of the affirmations from this audio program: I was born innocent and open As an infant, my eyes ears and mind were wide open The child I once was is alive within me, right now I am still an open, innocent child, deep within myself I was born with the ability to love Deep within me, what I want most is to love and to be loved It is completely natural for me to need and experience love The child that I am deep inside is good You will find all of the books and CDs you will need to manage your anger and raise your self esteem on this page. Nurturing And Caring For Your Inner Child This excellent CD program is entitled, Nurturing Your Inner Child, and is available either in CD format or as an MP3 audio download. It will help you heal your emotional wounds from the past and finally, truly love yourself.
