How do you respond when someone compliments you?

Can you simply say ‘thank-you’ and feel pleased, or do you feel awkward, blush or run away and hide? (or want to at least!) Perhaps you brush it off or minimise?

Here are several tips to help respond to compliments without feeling awkward and being able to do this will certainly help your self confidence and self esteem. And improving your self esteem and self confidence in other ways will help you respond to compliments without feeling awkward – lets get on with how to turn that circle around.

Smile. Compliments show that others value and appreciate us which should be a lovely feeling, not cause awkwardness. You ARE worthy of the compliment or it would have been given – bear that it mind at all times. Read More→

By Courtland Warren

The ability to visualize is a very powerful tool if you know how to develop it correctly.  Some of the greatest achievers have been able to realize their dreams simply because they had the ability to visualize and then take action toward what they envision.  Knowing how to visualize has many rewards because it helps you to take control over every area of your life and make the most of every situation you encounter.

How to Love Yourself and Improve Your Self-Esteem

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

By Pamela Turner

If you’ve suffered from low self-esteem like I have for most of your life, loving yourself doesn’t come easy. But, it’s the most important thing you can do in life. The way I think of it now is that the Love you have within you is Divinity and it’s how that Divinity in you connects with the Divinity in everyone and everything else. Nurturing the love in yourself increases your experience of love in the world.

We all have an inner judge that is very good at pointing out everything wrong with us and everyone else. This judge who is determined to find fault with everything is the opposite of love which is appreciation and gratitude. The judge is a trick the ego uses to separate us from each other. As long as you are finding fault with someone, it’s hard to feel good about them and share good energy. Read More→

Feeling Good About Being Brave

By Arlene
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

By Kathleen Aston

We all read the papers and watch the news. We see women of fame, fortune and political acuity who do battle for the rights of the oppressed, the neglected, the starving. Some put their lives on the line. Others live their lives on the line. And many of us stand in awe wondering where their strength comes from and wondering if we’d have the courage to do the same.

Yes, what these women do, stand for and sacrifice is brave and takes enormous courage, conviction and passion.

But I propose to you that there are women heroes here among us. Standing in the bus line or sitting at the desk beside you. Each woman-every stay-at-home mom, waitress, career woman, and woman entrepreneur-can be an everyday hero doing battle by doing good, by helping another up, by creating opportunities and by creating economy.

Positive Assertiveness – How to Achieve It

By Dr Sue Hewitt

How Do You Use Assertiveness to the Most Positive Effect?

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude of mind” William James 1842-1910

Key to being assertive, even in the most uncomfortable situations, is your ability to be assertive with yourself. If you enter into a situation and anticipate a disaster, then you are unlikely to achieve a positive outcome.

Do you dread certain meetings at work, or returning home and confronting your family or housemates? Perhaps visiting your parents or in-laws fills you with worry? Maybe the thought of shopping for clothes leaves knots in your stomach? Read More→
