1. FEATURE: How to Build Self-Esteem (Part One)

What is Self-Esteem?

Are you moving through the world trying to become a somebody? Do you feel defensive and reactive?

Or…

Are you a Somebody expressing yourself in this world? Do you feel open and responsive?

There is a difference, and it has huge implications for how we act and feel in our day to day lives.

In the first instance we seek experience and things in the world in order to feel worthy and valuable, even respected and loved. Our self-esteem is dependant on what happens, and thus we personalize everything that happens to us.

However, when we can realize that we are worthy, valuable, respectable and lovable, we are free to express who we are, and not feel the need to justify our existence.

Self-esteem is about “being” – it’s about who we are rather than what we do. And I don’t know about you, but I never had to full out an application form to join the human race! We are born human beings. And as such we are worthy, valuable.

The way we express ourselves or act may sometimes be a bit clumsy or unwanted. Yet we are still human beings- we are still lovable and respectable – it’s just that behaviour or those words that we said that are not respectable or valuable. There is a clear distinction between human being (self-esteem) and human doing (self-confidence).

Why Develop Self-Esteem?

Would it be valuable to you to have a sense of self which says “I am valuable; I have nothing to prove and everything to experience”? A frame of mind like that frees us to be ourselves and become all we can be. It allows us to see the world as an exciting place to explore and enjoy. It also gives us a sense of choice – we can choose those things that enrich us and allow us to reach for our potentials.

Some of the other benefits of a healthy self-esteem include:
• being open and responsive
• experiencing loving and caring relationships
• enjoying being fallible and accepting of making mistakes
• being vulnerable
• being creative
• feeling free to express and explore our passions
• being able to develop our talents
• being able to contribute more…

Thus there are many benefits to being able to esteem yourself highly. The first step in developing a healthy self-esteem then is in understanding the concept- human being vs. human doing. In our next edition we’ll look at 5 more steps that can be used to establish a solid sense of self.

To your success!

4. The Personal Expression
There’s so much going on in my life- where do I start? The exciting bits! I’m really excited about the upcoming launch of Inner Circle Sandton- I get such a rush when I think of the power of such a network to help connect people and do business! And the Twenty30 Volunteer project I am involved in is starting to make a difference in Troyville Primary School- the teachers have started their first training on Report Writing. Also had an exciting week in that Sunduza Laundromat opened it’s doors in Ferndale- a group of us pulled our energy and resources together and created 4 jobs by starting this new business! It sure has been a busy and productive few weeks.

I got to relax a bit at a movie tonight with Hans, and the movie explained nicely, with graphics, how the mind-body-emotion system works- it’s called “What the bleep do we know”. I just love movies that feed your brain with new ideas, as much as they allow you to escape!

Amongst the busy-ness, my PC of 5 years decided that it was full of all the information I had been creating and storing on it, and it went on strike! It took 3 days and the generosity of my dear friend Rohin to get a PC up and running again so that I am back in action! And last point- I’m very thrilled and grateful to have this opportunity to send out my first newsletter. I’d love to hear your feedback about it!

Smiles,
Telana
