Self-Esteem

October 15th, 2007, by Shelley Riutta

Hello and welcome to my blog. This will be a daily blog to give you practical everyday tips for living a Radiant Life (a life in alignment with your true essence)–and also inspiration to keep your Spirit lifted.  Feel free to add your comments–I would love to hear from YOU!  As I worked with clients today the theme of self-worth kept surfacing.  The core of most issues that people seek counseling for is a lack of self-esteem–not seeing themselves clearly.  Many people have a very distorted vision of who they are.  These disortions come from the way that others have viewed them in the past or how they were treated.  If someone doesn’t make a conscious effort to see themselves clearly their self-esteem will be determined by these disortions.  It is like wiping the dirt and dust from a windshield–there may be layers of distortions to remove before there is clarity. 

Who you really are is beautiful, brilliant, shining, loving unique Spirit.  There are different exercises that you can do to learn to see yourself more clearly.  I will go over some of these exerises in my blog tomorrow.  If you are in the Green Bay area I will be giving an hour long presentation on Thursday October 18th from 6-7 p.m. at Fitnessology.  See the listing under the services section.  For those of you who really want to make a big shift in your Self-Esteem I will be doing a day long “I am Fabulous” Workshop on Saturday October 27th from 9:30-5 p.m.–again see the Services section.  Until then give yourself a big hug and say “You are beautiful just the way you are!”
