Aiming Higher Than Low Self Esteem

@SirenOfSerenity Oh this is amazing post, Siry

That analogy hits the spot right on

1) What is the "ideal destination" you're trying to reach in your journey, and how do you feel an improvement in your self esteem will help you reach this?
I am trying to reach a point where I can help people unleash their best. But my own hand brake is slowing me down. It tells me, there is still time maybe

2) Do you feel your self esteem needs an improvement or boost?
It does. I feel all the "there is still time" voice is coming from the hand brake

3) What are some practices, whether from the article or your own method, that you plan to implement in order to raise your self esteem?

Thank you, I really enjoyed that article. I prefer to use the questions for my private journal instead of posting my answers here... I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your effort.

Thankyou. It is really helpful

Reflection Question: How often have you held yourself back from something you're truly interested in exploring or contributing to due to low self esteem?

actually, this is a great question! there have been many times that i have held myself back from taking up something that interests me, something new perhaps, because of low self esteem at that particular moment. i think that in those instances, i take things day by day and use coping skills to feel better about taking up these new interests!


1) What is the "ideal destination" you're trying to reach in your journey, and how do you feel an improvement in your self esteem will help you reach this??

my ideal destination in life is to reach a point in life that will give me comfort, peace of mind and happiness in one small package. an improvement in my self esteem would help me to feel better about getting to this destination.


2) Do you feel your self esteem needs an improvement or boost?

i feel that some days where i wake up with severe depression, which happens to me on occasion, a better self esteem would help me feel better about getting up and starting a new day.


3) What are some practices, whether from the article or your own method, that you plan to implement in order to raise your self esteem?

in order to raise my self esteem, i plan on just trying to be myself and not imitate anyone or anything else. i am my own identity, i also want to be this identity and not try too hard to please other people at the cost of losing my identity.

1) What is the "ideal destination" you're trying to reach in your journey, and how do you feel an improvement in your self esteem will help you reach this?

My ideal destination is saying what I think without fear of being judged, make new friends, get my own life and not depending so much of my relationship and not letting people being mean or say things I don't like about me without listening what I have to say.

Improving my self steem will give me courage to put myself out there and face my difficulties.

2) Do you feel your self esteem needs an improvement or boost?

Yes, I have too high standards for myself, lots of guilty about the past and tend to think negatively about myself and life in general.


3) What are some practices, whether from the article or your own method, that you plan to implement in order to raise your self esteem?

- Try to build positive relationships

- Be more assertive

- Going to the church to try to get more social this weekend (not too much expectations but I want to see how I feel until I find a place more comfortable to socialize).

I loved this post. Keep doing this great work :D
