BOOSTING SELF-ESTEEM

 Gloria was raised by a parent who constantly taunted her she was fat and unattractive as far back as she could remember when she was 5 years old. She was constantly called names, it was worst at school as kids bullied her daily, she began loathing herself for been fat and ugly.

Some of can relate to this kinds of childhood memories.

Gloria grew up feeling she was ugly, not enough, ashamed of her body, constantly ate for comfort, kept to herself always, became suicidal, cut herself most times, felt something was wrong with her, saw herself as a mistake.

Gloria is classical example of a young lady with Self-Esteem issue. More often than not self esteem issue can always be traced to our childhood upbringing.

WHAT IS SELF-ESTEEM - Is basically how we perceive and value ourselves. Typically based on our opinion, beliefs and exposure.

Self -Esteem issues is always tied to :

How you  see yourself and what you say to yourself, these two go hand in hand.

There re three types of Self-Esteem:

1- Unhealthy Self-Esteem - Which entails expressing a superior feeling over others,exhibit traits of pride,ego, entitlement mentality,looking down on others,wanting to be constantly seen and heard.

2-Low Self-Esteem - Is having a feeling of being inferior to others,having difficulty accepting compliment,value the opinion of others above theirs,focused on their weaknesses,lacks the capacity to say no,afraid to speak up, believes everyone around them is better.

Healthy Self-Esteem -Entails having a balanced and accurate self view. They re able to acknowledge they have strengths and weaknesses and it's fine.They can accept and love themselves just the way they are,most importantly teach and show others how they should be treated rightly.

Back to Gloria's gist it was at a youth church convention she opened up about her hatred for herself and God who made her ugly.

Everyone grasped !

You know why ,when the pastor called her up in front and hugged her,he asked everyone if Gloria was sincerely that ugly, the church went into uproar because she was actually beautiful with ebony skin,a curvaceous body to die for,she wasn't even obese,on the contrary she had a hot banging body and she couldn't see it.

Her hatred for herself was not borne out of fact but what she constantly heard from a few persons and her parents. She had believed a lie for too long that she accepted it as the truth 

She also constantly drew the wrong picture of herself in her mind. Her mind was so cluttered that she couldn't see the truth about herself.

So the words you say and the picture you paint in your mind defines you presently.

SETTING UP BOUNDARIES

  A few years ago, I found myself struggling with maintaining healthy boundaries in my work life. I was a people-pleaser, always saying yes to additional tasks and projects, even when it meant sacrificing my own time and well-being. This constant overcommitment left me stressed, exhausted, and unable to dedicate time to things I truly cared about. One day, a close friend confronted me about my situation. She shared her own experience with setting boundaries and how it positively impacted her life. Inspired by her words, I decided to make a change. I began by setting clear limits on my availability, politely declining tasks that were beyond my capacity. It was difficult at first, fearing I might disappoint others, but the more I practiced, the easier it became.What is personal boundary? Personal boundaries are emotional, physical, and mental limits that define how individuals expect to be treated by others. They help maintain self-respect and protect one's well-being.  Personal boun

EMBRACING DETACHMENT

 UNPACKING THE LAW OF DETACHMENT Attachment and detachment are intricate aspects of human emotions, and they can greatly impact our relationships and personal growth. The wisdom shared by John B. Peg" Detachment is an art of enjoying something while always being open to the possibility of losing it one day" underscores the importance of understanding and practicing healthy attachment.  It's about finding a balance between enjoying the presence of someone or something in your life while being open to the possibility of losing it someday. My personal story of a past relationship illustrates the challenges that can arise when attachment becomes excessive and unhealthy. The pain and emotional turmoil I experienced during the two years following the breakup serve as a stark reminder of the need to learn how to detach and create space for new experiences. Attachment, when viewed through a more enlightened lens, is not inherently negative. It's not about completely disconnec
