5 Ways to Boost Self-Esteem After Being Hurt

501925151_b36f669e0e Self-esteem remains a vital part of us being in a mindful state. Possessing confidence and satisfaction in oneself helps energies the passion for life and love. When one however allows individuals or circumstances to mode our consciousness, we can lose the ability to separate event from the spirit. In other words, you are not the events of your life.

As some have found out, in life, things do not always go as plan; in those situations however, we must remember to separate ourselves. If someone disappoints you be careful with your rage, placing too  much capital in our responses can weaken self-esteem. How many experienced a deficit in the spirit after suffering frustration and regret over the actions of another?

If our wife does something unexpected, we can feel great pain and by chance low self-esteem can occur.   In other words, the “Why Me,” will begin to eat our spirit from the inside out. In addition, our self-worth decreases while the pain magnifies, for days we may not be any good to anyone but mainly ourselves.  The disappointment plummets us into a sea of self-pity, apathy, and sometimes unrelenting fury.

5 Ways To Boost Self-Esteem
(1) Never Internalize the Pain

The ill-fated behaviors of a love one is not the time to say, “What did I do wrong?” An honest assessment allows you not to blame yourself for someone’s actions. Do not become a co-dependent in poor behavior.

(2) Anger Be Still, Humility

Be slow to express your anger verbally. Do not burn yourself, attempting to be ‘”Brutally Honest.” Remain quiet and sometimes walk away from disappointment.

(3) Forgive and Forget

If you struggle with forgiveness, your self-esteem and confidence will erode. Holding the handle of a hot-pot burns the hand of the person holding it. Self-esteem is empowered by being the bigger person.

(4) What you say, may and will be used against you

When hurt, we feel justified in saying whatever we like, for instance like a ‘a victim statement in court’. However, what you express my revisit you at a later date. In other words, the shoes will go on the other foot, no one’s perfect. Say what you would want said to you.

(5) Love Not Need

Self-esteem suffers woefully when we misinterpret what love is. Love always comes from the inside out. With that said, “We love not because we need a person; we need the person because we love them.” Dr. Henry Grayson, Mindful Loving

Who’s Responsible For Your Pain?

580070_7d63You and you alone created your world. Satan, the evil spell or ridiculous superstitions deserves no responsibility for your illusions. Stop, stop right now with the blame game, this contagious spectacle spoils my appetite.

Your obsession for external culpability to your predicament refute solid evidence against the true perpetrator-You. Yes, that is right; it is you. What is the common denominator in all your troubles?

It’s Not My Fault

**

Stop blaming the old boyfriend, the present girlfriend who talks behind your back, or unrealistic missed opportunity. You are the inventor and demolisher of all you perceive. There is no outside comforter responsible to remove your frail consciousness. Stop the irritable speech about who wronged you, we get the picture; it is a broken record.

Cease with the thunderous public declaration that some external force sole responsibility is to make you feel better. Just stop it! What responsibility do you have to your spirit? Do not give me that dress up for Sunday thing, or discipline not to taste a delightful pork sandwich, you made this mess, you get out it.9142_b1d8

Stop using Facebook, Twitter or texting to indict others for your misery. A subtle complaint to the boys indicate a temporary deficit in your consciousness not hers.

All attachments dissolve your capability to develop a relationship with God. All mental and spiritual dissonance signals disconnection from your higher source. The winds of the world controls the mind when this occurs.

Stop Your Complaining!

**

The acceptance that external variables control your emotional and spiritual state demonstrates a lower consciousness. I do not care if the external variables are family members, friends, children or employees; your misery is internal.

Get off the couch, look in the mirror, and destroy the enemy within–Now, do it.

The busy egotistical mind swirl your consciousness wildly and toss your fragile being like a small sailboat. Why does your screams go unheard? You are what you Seek! You are the Great teacher, Guru, and savior to your spirit.

Think about it for a second, all spiritual teachers say what I have written. Your redemption is not only your responsibility, it is within your power.

If honest to yourself this makes perfect sense, however, some will blame  me for saying it.

The Rock Christian Church Marriage Retreat

148

Seldom will the Dragon fly with other lofty spirits. The Dragon flies in the valley alone, rarely venturing atop the domicile of his spiritual restoration. And so, my invitation by my best friend (Pastor Jerry Wright) to attend his church’s marriage retreat this past weekend received an immediate no.087

However, I received the anti-Christian stare from my wife and a forty-minute persuasive  argument from her best friend Beverly, the Dragon would fly out of the valley.

To my surprise, a theme of spiritual inspiration engulfed the entire journey.  I could not have imagined a better atmosphere, we had a ball a total spiritual cohesiveness.

Most of my spiritual cohorts as my wife are Christians.  In the past the Dragon has experienced personal displacement spiritually and culturally. However, I gained a great deal of appreciation for the invitation.  A sincere gesture.

089

Large social events do not peak my interests, a small private gathering remains my preference of group interactions.  Nevertheless, I may examine possible inspirational’ potentials of larger social gatherings in the future.

To all who attended, I hope you enjoyed my presence as much as I enjoyed yours.

Namaste
