My Self Esteem Booster

I’m on a big journey with low self-esteem. One minute I think I’ve cracked it and I’m feeling good about myself and my life. Then next thing I know I’m plummeting down into a pit of negativity because some person or situation has triggered me, made me feel unworthy and brought back all of my self-attacking negative beliefs.

So for times like these I think it’s important to have an inventory of all the things that are good, no GREAT, about being me!

Why am I special?

I am musical. I have a voice that touches people’s hearts, and it comes straight from my heart. I have a mission in life to heal people and help them to realise that THEY ARE WHOLE. I am patient. I care – SO MUCH. I am sensitive and empathic and intuitive and talented.

What makes me different from everyone else?

There is nobody in the world like me. Just like every snowflake is unique, so too is every heart, every soul and every voice. Nobody in this world has had the exact same experiences as me. Nobody in this world has come through the same trials and challenges as I have. I stand victorious. The survivor of abuse. The survivor of illness, separation, grief, rejection, betrayal. I stand here today and I remember that I am whole, and I endeavour to remind you that you too are whole. And we are one and the same.

Why am I a person of value that others should be involved with?

I am caring, patient and loving. I am dynamic and driven. I am inspired and creative and in living my life without compromise I inspire others to do the same. I won’t try to change you but if you ask me for help I will do what I can. I love you.

What are my best qualities?

Openness. Confidence. Creativity. Freedom from inhibition. Unconditional loving. Forgiveness. Compassion. Understanding. Drive. Bringing people together. Seeding ideas. Brainstorming. Encouraging.

What are my lovable flaws?

Vulnerability. The ability to fall in love far too easily and then fall apart when it doesn’t work out. Wearing my heart on my sleeve. Loving foolishly again and again.

What are the tiny victories that I will line up for myself so that I can feel good about myself every day?

1. Doing something nice for myself every day, whether that’s a half hour yoga session, breathing exercises, a walk in the forest or a movie marathon!
2. Taking one day a week to rest and JUST BE
3. Show up to my spiritual practice every day, even if it’s just for 30 seconds before I run out of the door
