LYNDA FIELD
Journey inside your self-esteem
Some qoutes :
"Look into a baby's eyes and see the joy and delight which can be found there. You were once like this_ enchanted by life, open and trusting, at the centre of your own universe. You felt free to express your emotions, you laughed and cried when you wanted to, you deserved to experience all that life had to offer_ this was your birthright."
"Your sense of self worth does not depend upon you having a high-profile job or earning a lot of money or being clever"
"you are not worthless if you can't do something or you make a mistake... Intrinsic self worth"
"Such behaviors supports our feeling of self worth_it reinforces our self-esteem."
"whenever you operate with low self-esteem you have allowed yourself to become a victim"
"each of us is unique with our own special abilities and our own individual difficulties"
"our spiritual self expresses itself through our material form"
"when we can harmonize our spirtual awareness with our material desires, we are living a balanced life ; we have developed a creative consciousness and we are high in self-esteem."
"Doing describes activity out in the world
Being describes awareness within the person"
"I deserve to devote time exclusively to my own needs"
"No one else can be insidd you. No one else can experience your self satisfaction (or your lack of it)"
"only you know what it feels like to be you"
"every time you compare yourself with someone else you are mistrusting your own ability to make appropriate choices"
"every single one of us is unique and wherever we go we take our individual specialness"
"you are your own roadsweeper!"
"how many 'yous' are there inside you?"
"The more we get the more we want. We will never be totally fulfilled by anything which the material world has to offer because we need nourishment at all levels of our being"

"Before you can enjoy yourself, you need to know about yourself. In order to learn about yourself, you need to be selfish"
"I'm asking you to be chiefly concerned with your own interests especially to the exclusion of others. You cannot truly discover your 'self' if you are always putting the interests of others first."
It just so happens that I'm currently reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. His theory is that we are genetically programmed to be selfish, because the "predominant quality to be expected in a successful gene is ruthless selfishness."

Marvellous book on improving your self esteem. Many helpful tips and a cool guided visualisation.
I took a lot away from this book.
Ms Field is very encouraging.
