Ten Ways To Greater Self Esteem Forward

Hi, I have worked in the field of counselling and coaching for some time now, and I am always amazed at the God given ability we humans have to improve our lives for the better. There has been great philosophical debate throughout the centuries, as to 'why we are here', and 'what life is about'. In simple terms, people of all walks of life have fundamentally come to the same conclusion. That is, we are here to make what we can of life, to lead meaningful relationships, to reproduce, and master areas of our own choice. Happiness is an achievement we can come to know and love, through improving our thoughts and beliefs about the world and each other.

    The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem was written by Diane Loomans and illustrated by Kim Howard. The Lovables in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem is not a typical picture book that tells a story with a beginning, middle, and an end. Rather, it is a collection of animals who live in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem. Each animal exemplifies a specific word of virtue or characteristic that promotes self-esteem. The reader enters the gates of the kingdom and reads from one animal to another, learning about courage from Lawrence the Lion, sharing from Diana Dove, respect from Ryan Rhino and so on. Each of the 24 animal's characteristics are written in short, rhyming text.…

It affects our trust in others, our relationships, and our work – nearly every part of our lives.

    The reason self-esteem is increasing because people are using multiple ways to make themselves feel better. Some ways described in the book are; downward social comparison, upward social comparison, compensatory self-enhancement, discounting, external attribution, internal attribution and basking in the reflected glory. Downward social comparison is comparing your performance with the performance of someone who is doing even worse than you, whereas upward social comparison is surrounding yourself with successful people to make yourself feel more successful. Compensatory self-enhancement is when you acknowledge the poor grade you got in class but instead start to think about your excellent clarinet-playing skills. Discounting is reducing the…

    We are taught at a very young age that we are to seek out happiness, yet no one really knows what that is. When you are a child, happiness could be found by playing with toys, and schoolmates. When we are children, our concept of happiness is minimal. As years passed, our concept of happiness becomes much more expansive. We are schooled to think that if we succeed at something, whether it is at a career, college or in relationships, we are seeking to be happy. Some people seek out happiness through religion, or a spiritual leader, "Who so trusteth in the Lord is happy" (Proverbs 4:7). It seems that everyone has their own idea as to what makes them happy. It becomes ingrained in us that seeking happiness is the point of our existence. To find happiness, then we will be living a complete life. What makes happiness, or better yet, where happiness exists is a question that has been pondered by many great thinkers. Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Plato and Socrates had quite a bit to say on the subject. All of these well-known philosophers have a road map to happiness, religion, passion and objectivity. Yet, their theories differ ultimately in how to go about attaining each of them.…

    Self esteem can be defined in many different ways. I happen to look at it very simple, I think that self-esteem means the way a person feels about their self, and individual standards. I also believe it is the way we as people appraise our emotional being in the world compared to others, and the way we function in relationships (meaning the we act and treat others), and what is considered acceptable or what is not. The thing I learned about self-esteem, is that it is influenced by various factors, including culture, personal observations, atmosphere and perceptions.…
