Women and the Art of Self-Esteem

Women
How many women do you know who have a high dose of healthy self-esteem? I'm not talking about conceit, or aggressive behavior, or rudeness (all forms of masking low self-esteem). I'm talking about a quiet confidence that is genuine, loving, kind, and always healthy.

A woman with high self-esteem is rarely critical of herself or others. She can critique what is wrong, but it doesn't turn into a complaint, and it doesn't go on and on and on. A woman with high self-esteem is calm as opposed to aggressive in her actions. She has a quiet and calm manner when presented with a problem. A woman with high self-esteem is very polite and is aware of others. She often notices if someone is uncomfortable or if they are in need of some assistance.

A woman with high self-esteem has learned how to clear out the negative feelings by noticing them and letting herself feel them, in the moment they occur, and simply by not fighting or resisting them, they fade away on their own, naturally. She is then clear, and simply herself in relation to her world. Negative feelings are not to be wrestled to the ground and put under control, but rather a natural part of any human life, and therefore, allowed.

A woman with high self-esteem has feelings about men, love, sex, and money. These are the areas where most women commonly feel blocked. A woman with high self-esteem clears these issues by allowing herself to have her own feelings come up and not judge them. She knows that her own personal power is not tied to a negative emotion, but to her positive attributes and talents (which, by the way, are usually the things she is very good at). Then, she allows those attributes and talents shine through by taking action on them in her everyday world at work, home or play.

Any woman who has ever suffered from low self-esteem, poor body image, or experienced frustrations with her partner knows that by dwelling on the negative she will get more negative experience. She would also know the difficulty in getting out of that vicious and down-hill cycle. A woman with high self-esteem has probably been through a lot of the low self-esteem experiences, but has made a decision. Somewhere along the way, she made a decision to stop, notice where she was in life, and choose to get clear on where she wants to be.

The Art
It is an art and a life-long journey to high self-esteem by feeling happy, alive, and magnificent. It starts with a decision. Ask yourself, are you happy with your life right now, exactly the way it is? Of the things that you are not happy with, simply notice where you are, what the situation is, as if you are an outside, detached observer. Now, regarding the situation, how do you want to feel? What is the best feeling you would like to have regarding your specific situation? Now you know where you want to be.

This is exactly what it takes to clear out the negativity and begin the journey of high self-esteem. Negativity simply falls away once you stop fighting and resisting it. The negativity is then replaced with more empowering qualities, because of the focus on what you do want, such as better body image, self confidence, and positive money habits.

A woman with high self-esteem can confidently say, "I am beautiful, healthy, wealthy, successful, at peace and in love,” and truly mean it!
