What is one thing that will ruin your life?
Often we think specific life hurdles like our car breaking down, or losing our job, will ruin our lives forever.
In the moment, it may feel as though one of these specific situations will be the ruin of us, however, it’s not one of those mishaps.
What will ruin our life hides in the shadows and more often than not we feel the symptoms and we are unable to identify the actual problem. When something begins early on in our life it is difficult to think of life without it, and therefore close to impossible to bring to light.
When we study the indications of a specific underlying problem, we begin to understand where we stand and how significant the problem is in our life today.
The problem I address in this video is that of low self-esteem. I suffered from low self-esteem for much of my life, and in the beginning I didn’t understand from where it came or why I was doing things in my life that weren’t leading to happiness or fulfillment.
I began to examine why the way I was living was often antithetical to my needs and values and then it dawned on me. I began to realize that because of my health issues as a child, and internalizing the pain and suffering, and wishing I was a normal kid, all of that emotion and pain caused me to feel less about myself. I felt like a burden to my family, which led me to carry around negative thoughts of myself. And that, in turn, created my low self-esteem.
Low self-esteem begins for many reasons, all as unique as we.
I created this video to help you identify the indications that you may be suffering from low self-esteem. If you find that some of these resonate with you then it’s time to begin to do some inner work and find the source of the problem. The only medicine that cures low self-esteem is unconditional love for yourself!
