The unhappy truth about self esteem is that we all lack it in certain circumstances. All of us? Yes, wherever we have difficulties or suffer from old unfinished childhood issues, we never have a goodly measure of self esteem. How can one feel wonderful about one's obsessions, one's idiotic anger, one's smoking or drinking, our less-than-wonderful parenting?
Self esteem issues always indicate an incomplete resolution of something in our pasts. One-year-old toddlers don't usually suffer from self esteem problems - they just go ahead and try again. We CAN regain the assurance in ourselves we had as a toddler, though accomplishing that may take time and energy. The most important decision one can make about a lack of self esteem in any circumstance is the decision to root out the causes ASAP.
ABCs of Personal Growth can be most useful for those with poor self esteem by pointing out useful productive new roads to be traveled instead of staying with the old feeling-bad-about-myself ruts. There are many growth opportunities available - change your spiritual beliefs or your thinking and gain a new surge of self esteem in many areas. (Try the Spirituality Quiz or the Thinking Quiz for ideas along these lines.) Or test yourself for food allergies and perhaps watch a few of your "psychological" "self esteem" problems evaporate.
