How to Create High Self – Esteem After a Bad Relationship
Oct 6th
We’ve all had at least one disappointing relationship. No matter how it ends, even if you’re the one who ended it, we’re usually a “basket case.” If the other person has found a new interest, it can be even more devastating.
My antidote used to be to go out and buy a cute new outfit and go dancing. Of course, the new outfit always ended up on my “charge card” and that wasn’t fun to pay off later. Some recommend getting a new haircut, having your makeup done or whatever makes you feel better even for a day.?A man?might?decide to?buy a new car.
Going out for a drink or drinking at home might feel like the thing to do at the time, but it is not. Alcohol is a depressant. If you were depressed before you will be more depressed after a few drinks. None of these things are going to help your self-esteem. So don’t even go there.
Sometimes you just have to wait it out. But why wait it out when there’s something you can do?
You can uncover your true worth. You can throw off the blinders that have covered your eyes to the truth about yourself.
Rebuild your self-esteem by remembering the truth of who you are. You are far more than can be seen by the human eye. You are far larger and more powerful than you know. ?You are the power in your life. Your Higher Self knows that whatever happens you are fully capable of living your life to its fullest. You were created by the only true power in the Universe and beyond. You are more than equal to the task of creating a more powerful you. Your potential is unlimited and you can uncover the truth about yourself. ?You have been given all you need to take you as far as you want to go. You are worthy of receiving the bliss and joy you deserve. You can have the perfect relationship with a person who is?perfect for you if that is what you want. The you I’m speaking of is the manifestation of the One Power, the Creator and that you is the real you.
You can come to the realization of who and what you are through meditation and communion with your Higher Power. Spirit is always within you and available to you. Take the time and make the effort to go within. God has always been within you. This connection with your Divine Self is the most important thing in your life. When you have that, you already have it all. You are not needy. You are not flawed. You are a perfect child of a perfect Creator. As you realize this truth the self-esteem you thought you had lost is there waiting to be recognized. You had it all the time.
Organize Your Purse, Wallet, and Briefcase
Aug 17th
It’s hard to believe, but we’re half way through the year – how are your New Year’s resolutions coming along? Was one of them to lose weight? It may not quite be what you had in mind, but if you’re trying to shed a few pounds, one quick and easy way to do that is to clean out the purse, wallet, briefcase and/or bag you’ve been lugging around. Besides lightening your load, it will make the things you carry with you every day more organized and easy to find.
Empty it out. Dump the contents of your purse, wallet, bag or briefcase into a shoebox or other container so nothing gets lost.
Toss the trash. You may discover you’ve been carrying around a portable trashcan. Toss the obvious items: used or tattered tissues, old or empty makeup containers, mysterious scraps of paper, gum or mints that are coated with lint, ATM receipts that are so old you can no longer read them, etc.
Sort the rest. Divide items between those you need to carry all the time (keys, sunglasses, cell phone, pen, notepad, etc.) and those that are questionable – although any one item may not take up much space or add much weight, collectively these items can have a big impact:
Makeup: Maybe you can just carry your lipstick, and keep the rest of your touch-up items at work so you don’t have to schlep them back and forth from home each day.
Loose change: Unless you’re saving it for a serendipitous encounter with a slot machine, put that loose change at the bottom of your purse or bag into your wallet or pants pocket where you can use it, or into a jar at home if you want to save it.
Checkbook: If you only write checks occasionally, maybe you can carry just a check or two in your wallet. Use carbon checks to serve as a reminder to note the check in your check register.
Paperwork: Take the appropriate action to stop carrying these items around:
Bills: If you carry unpaid bills more than a day or two, maybe you should block out 15 minutes or so on your calendar and just get them paid. Once you pay them, file or toss them as you see fit – don’t continue to carry them around.
Coupons: Clean out expired coupons, and consider whether you need to carry the others with you – maybe you can keep store coupons in your car’s glove compartment and grocery coupons at home with your shopping list. If you don’t have a shopping list, we need to talk.
Receipts: Clean out receipts once a week at a minimum. Unless you’re about to return something and need the receipt, you don’t need to have them with you. Establish a place where you can collect them and find them when you need them.
Phone numbers: Transfer the phone numbers you’ve jotted onto scraps of paper into your address book, whether it’s paper or electronic. If you don’t have an address book, now is the time to start one.
Lottery tickets: There are three possibilities: the drawing hasn’t been held yet, your ticket is a winner, or it’s not. Act appropriately and move those tickets along on their journey.
Organize the contents. Rather than just tossing everything back in your purse or bag, try to compartmentalize or containerize it. This will make it easier to find things, and also make it easier to move items from one purse to another. Take advantage of the zippered pockets or dividers your purse or bag may have to stash smaller items. Otherwise, use zippered pouches or even plastic bags for those smaller items.
Clean it out regularly. Empty out loose change, receipts and random bits of paper every day, if possible, or once a week at a minimum.
