Drink at Your Own Fountain (Or Finding Your Self-Worth)

By Arlene · Comments (0)
Saturday, May 28th, 2011

By Elise Fee

So many of us have looked externally for validation, self-worth, and reassurance that we are okay. But when we do this, we find that there is never quite enough external assurances to soothe us. The minute we receive some compliment or praise, we are in search of the next honor or award. It becomes a never-ending search for our own self-worth.

There are at least two issues with living this way. First, is that we are not living in the present moment, since we’re always searching for our next ‘approval fix’. Second, is that we never feel like we’re ‘enough’, we’re not able to rest and enjoy who we are, and we’re left wondering if we’ll ever ‘get there’. Read More→

How to Love Yourself and Improve Your Self-Esteem

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→

Have you ever achieved an important goal or dream, yet quickly moved on to the next task?  Or maybe you boldly took a risk, yet your performance didn’t meet your expectations or others?  Or maybe the perfectionist in you felt the accomplishment wasn’t big enough or worthy of celebration?  Do you generously celebrate your wins?

I thought I was someone who was good about celebrating successes.  And, maybe you have too.   But recently, a few significant events opened my eyes to the importance of celebrating and the costs associated when accomplishments are minimized, criticized or glossed over.  I invite you to explore the “celebration factor” in your life, as I share my own recent experiences with you.  Read More→

The Art of Being a Little Selfish

The Definition (according to Wiki):
Selfishness: Denotes the precedence given in thought or deed to the self, i.e., self interest or self concern. It is the act of placing one’s own needs or desires above the needs or desires of others.

Four or five years ago I began to fall into the trap that many women fall into as employees, mothers and wives. I began to eat, sleep and breath for my family, my business… basically everything and everyone except, yep- you guessed it, myself. You always see these women on Oprah or Good Morning America talking about how they’ve raised kids, worked and taken care of everyone but themselves for over 20-30 years. It’s usually some sort of make-over Mom show celebrating the selflessness of amazing women. I think it’s wonderful to be selfless. Yet, completely unnecessary to ignore your own self 100% of the time, as many women do. Read More→
