Trying on new beliefs
I was recently asked to give a talk to a group of young girls on happiness. Towards the end of the talk, the organizer asked me to teach them something that I wished I would have known when I was a teenager. The one thing I taught them was that you can believe whatever you want to believe about yourself.
Shaming isn't a real thing
Shame is that all consuming feeling you experience when you feel you do not deserve to feel good about yourself. It’s the feeling you have when you think you are flawed, damaged, or broken in some way.
A deeper kind of self-love
When we do something that contributes to us feeling jealous, envious, shameful, or guilty, I recommend that our self-love comes along for the ride. As without it, we can easily crumble.
What I think of me
Your relationship with yourself is what matters most. Not what I may think, your boss, your children, even your partner. When your relationship is not great, we often search for our self-esteem to be inflated from other people.
