You Need To Start To Like Yourself

Written by blueboy

If you have a very low self esteem or a lack of self-confidence you may be seeking help to gain extra confidence.

I was somebody who had a severe confidence crisis from the ages of four until the age of around twenty two.

At the age of twenty two I started on a mission of self improvement and to try to make myself increase happiness levels in my own life.

I started reading various books and articles on increasing confidence and gaining self esteem.

In one of the books, it had a chapter on what was named, "You have to start to like yourself".

It started by saying that there are probably some things in your life and about your person that you are not happy with. Some of these you are unable to change, therefore however hard it might be, you have to accept them, and even try to start to like them. Other things about your life or your person which you are not happy with you are able to change, therefore however hard it might be you have to work towards changing them.

The things I was not happy with was: My weight, this can be changed. Being overweight was mainly my fault, my diet and lack of exercise.

I had a bald patch on my head, this is something which I believed could not be changed, therefore I had to accept it.

I am quite short for a male, this is something which I am unable to change.

I had a severe stutter, this was something which after a lot of hard work I managed to overcome.

I am now a person who is quite happy with who I am and if somebody does not like me for whatever reason I don't really mind. I think I am OK and a decent person, we do live in a democratic society after all.

This change of attitude has made a massive difference to my life and I hope that it helps other people who read this article.

Looking for Happiness? Stop Looking in Your Neighbor's Yard Author : Gary Mosher
We’ve all heard the cliché ‘The grass is always greener in our neighbor’s yard’. What they don’t tell you is that his grass still has to be mowed, watered, weeded, raked and fertilized. The Buddha was the first to recognize that emotional pain can be just as real and debilitating as physical pain. Through careful observation he determined that people were good at spending time on their physical hygiene, but spent little or no time on mental h...

This human body is the divine vault of storehouse of 7 jewels. (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu) Author : Yuga Rishi
Generally while discussing Kundalini Shakti (Divine Serpent Power) we talk of 6 Chakras but in reality they are 7 in number. Sahasrar or the 1000-petalled lotus is the pinnacle of all Chakras. Because it is in the brain it is considered a chief. It is labeled extraordinary because there are 5 Chakras in the Merudanad (spinal chord), the Ajna Chakra between the eyebrows and then the Sahasrar in the head region. The 7 Lokas (worlds) are descr...

Is It Really Possible To Find Real Happiness? (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu) Author : Ian Glover -
I used to ask myself this question “how do you find real happiness” day after day after day. It just seemed to be so elusive and as I looked around at other people who seemed to be so happy I just wondered why I was so different – or was I? I did not enjoy the drudgery of going to a job that I didn’t particularly like but when I began to work for myself I thought that that would change – I did enjoy what I was doing and although I had some hap...

The TV Series Lost; Is Changing Beliefs That Easy? Author : Adam Eason
I have to admit it; I have become addicted to watching the wonderful TV series "Lost." For me, it is simply the best thing on television this year. It has reminded about how I was when Twin Peaks was going strong all those years ago! Now, as a man with a wild and vivid imagination, I have entered all manner of debates with friends and family and colleagues about what is going on, about what they think and what we believe about it all. I ...

Why Do I Do It If It Makes Me Unhappy? Author : Irwin Gootnick
When, as a child, our NBA fan assumed responsibility for the misbehaviors of his parent, he accommodated his parent’s flaw (“always be nice to others”). He did this hoping to make things okay with his parent so that the parent would stop making him feel bad if he followed his own path. That’s the adaptive purpose of his behavior. Like the indigenous tribe, he too tried to appease the gods (parents) to make sure the same things didn’t happen again...
