Is your self-esteem, on the rocky side? Here are some helpful hints to improve, the better you in seven days.
I seem to lost count on how many times I’ve read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Not that I care (and personally I don’t), it seems strange that we often see movie and TV stars as flawless people, living the fairytale life of riches and glamour. I suppose we all have to stop sticking our heads in the clouds and face reality.
There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem regardless of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our own sense of self.
So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some of the things you can think about and improve on that should be enough for a week.
Know your purpose
- Are you wandering through life with little direction – hoping that you’ll find happiness, health, and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time. This may seem tricky at first when you see yourself to be in a tight or even dead end. But there’s always that little loophole to turn things around and you can make a big difference to yourself.
- Know your values
What do you value most? Make a list of your top 5 values. Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning. As you set your goals for 2018 – check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn’t align with any of your top five values – you may want to reconsider it or revise it. The number shouldn’t discourage you, instead, it should motivate you to do more than you can ever dream of.
- Know your needs
Unmet needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care of yourself. Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right, to be in control, to be loved? There are so many people who lived their lives without realizing their dreams and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed for that matter. List your top four needs and get them met before it’s too late!
- Know your passions
You know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life. Obstacles like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you, but will not derail your chance to become the person you ought to be. Express yourself and honor the people who have inspired you to become the very person you wanted to be.
- Live from the inside out
Increase your awareness of your inner wisdom by regularly reflecting in silence. Commune with nature. Breathe deeply to quiet your distracted mind. For most of us city slickers, it’s hard to even find the peace and quiet we want even in our own home. In my case, I often just sit in a dimly lit room and play some classical music. There’s sound, yes, but music does soothe the savage beast.
- Honor your strengths
What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have? List three – if you get stuck, ask those closest to you to help identify these. Are you imaginative, witty, good with your hands? Find ways to express your authentic self through your strengths. You can increase your self-confidence when you can share what you know to others.
- Serve others
When you live authentically, you may find that you develop an interconnected sense of being. When you are true to who you are, living your purpose and giving of your talents to the world around you, you give back in service what you came to share with others -your spirit – your essence. The rewards for sharing your gift with those close to you is indeed rewarding, much more if it were to be the eyes of a stranger who can appreciate what you have done to them.
Self-improvement is indeed one type of work that is worth it. It shouldn’t always be within the confines of an office building, or maybe in the four corners of your own room. The difference lies within ourselves and how much we want to change for the better.

Or are other things just really important to you?
The Importance Of Your Mindset In Anything You Do In Life.
Generally speaking, there are two very different approaches to one’s mentality, and the results yielded from either one are usually going to be at opposite ends of the spectrum.
One way of approaching things is known as a “fixed mindset,” and the other is referred to as a “growth mindset,” and overwhelmingly, those with a growth mindset are often more successful in whatever venture in which they choose to participate.
Those with the “fixed mindset” frame of mind tend to feel that their skills, potential, and abilities are pre-determined and are not able to be improved upon, whereas those with the latter mentality are open to the idea that there is always room for improvement if they are willing to work enough at it.
Those in the “fixed” category tend to feel powerless over any ability to manipulate their pre-ordained, possibly genetic skills and talents while those in the growth category are far more optimistic about who is calling the shots concerning their aptitude and competence. There are a few other significant differences concerning these two attitudes toward the concept of mindset and how much control any given person has over their own lives.The primary one being how a person views mistakes or obstacles and the attitude that they foster when the inevitable hindrances arise…
For example, those with a fixed mindset are apt to become easily discouraged by impediments and are far more likely to “throw in the towel”. They panic at the first setback, whereas those with a growth mindset are far more optimistic in their outlook and adopt more of an opportunistic approach to problems, meaning that they “make the best of it” and try to turn negativity into a chance to learn and hopefully grow from whatever hindrance they might encounter.
Given what actually about the two opposite approaches to mindset, clearly the fixed mindset does not leave much room for growth, learning or personal prosperity, while the growth mindset is the healthier, more positive option that is most likely to maximize an individual’s success and subsequent overall happiness in life.
It is also important when discussing this particular topic to consider how our mindset can affect us other than in our ability to grow and prosper and be successful.
For one, there is the knowledge that our mindset can have a significant impact on our health and physical well-being. In that, a person who tends to be discouraged or depressed consistently is far more likely to have that morose mentality suppress their immune system, which in turn means that those with a fixed mindset are more prone to illnesses and tend to take longer to recover from whatever ailment to which their defeated attitude has subjected them.
People with a growth mindset tend to become sick less often and most certainly tend to be happier and healthier.
It is generally agreed upon among psychology and other professional experts on the subject that any person ultimately does have control over which mentality they choose to foster. Meaning that only because someone has been operating with the fixed mindset for any part or all of their lives, this in no way means that they can’t choose to make the transition far more positive growth mindset, no matter what phase of their life they are currently experiencing.
That means that there is hopeful news for those who find themselves stuck in the pessimistic fixed mindset in that their fatalistic attitude toward their accomplishments and success need not be permanent and can always be improved.

There are many ways to express love, and the least used way in today’s hectic lifestyle is by using poems.
Poems are a fun way to express love without being too pushy.
The Power Of Poems
Most often the female gender seems to find is very pleasing when love is expressed in poems. Escaping from reality gives these poem composers a chance to express themselves in a very “flowery” way. Tapping into this very old method of communicating love seems to appeal to the current generation, probably because of its novelty factor.
Using the internet as an ideal platform for expressing one’s self through love poems will allow the individual to create ways to impress the other party through these poems. For those who are rather shy in expressing themselves in other ways, poem writing can help them to express themselves without feeling any sort of inhibition. Poem writing is also another effective way of showing loved ones they are being thought of, and this, of course, is very ego inflating and rather warming. This is especially so for those who are using the online dating platform to show their feelings in a romantic way, as this will help to “sell” the individual in a better light overall.
Love poems can actually allow the creative side of an individual to be expressed. This is a great platform for the more artistic individual who is interested in wooing the other party, as in most cases it will be viewed in a better light and as well the individual penning the poems does not have to worry about facing any ridicule in person.
