Increase Self Esteem With Simple Meditation | The Simple Self ...

By R. Marq Riz

The ability to increase your self esteem is a problem that most of us will face at one or more times in our lives. At some point a significant problem, or a series of them, will negatively affect our lives. If these problems are not dealt with and processed properly they will have a horrible impact on ourselves and everyone around us. However, if we deal with these problems properly it will create positive benefits to our confidence, health and self image.

The problems that happen to everyone (losing a job or failed business, death of a loved one, health problems of you or a loved one? ) are a part of life. We need to learn to analyze, accept and work through these issues. The problem most of us find is this is easier said than done.

One of the most difficult ?emotions? these types of problems attack is our self esteem and confidence. In a moment we will look at a simple technique to combat this problem, but first we need to understand how a low self esteem can hurt us and how a positive one can help us.

Self esteem could be considered the opinion you have of yourself. When life throws difficulties in your way it is easy to let the opinion of yourself, or self esteem, turn negative. A major problem with this is when we do not love ourselves it is nearly impossible to make healthy decisions.

Fear creeps into our mind which makes it difficult to accept change, even if it is positive change. In other words we become complacent regarding bad situations. This can affect both our personal and financial life.

In addition, studies have proven the negative emotions created by low self esteem lower our immune system. There is an increase of inflammation as well as other factors increasing heart disease including high blood pressure, increase of LDL (bad) cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.

The concern here is negative thoughts and emotions increase stress and the health problems involved with constant stress. In addition, people with low self esteem tend to drink more alcohol, smoke more and exercise less. All factors creating a perpetual downward spiral in health, confidence and overall self worth.

On the other hand a positive self esteem allows a person to feel good about themself and how they view others opinion of them. You feel empowered to attack new challenges with confidence and without fear. Because of the positive feeling you have towards yourself you have less doubt (if any) in your abilities.

This in turn leads one to be proud of their health and body increasing positive choices you make towards your exercise patterns and your diet. This creates a positive upward spiral in health and confidence.

This is a simple meditation to take you from the negative thoughts and low self esteem to positive thoughts and a healthy self esteem. If you have 10-15 minutes, that is optimal. However, even using this technique for 2-5 minutes will make huge positive strides for anyone with a negative or low self esteem.

If possible find a quiet place to get comfortable and calm your mind for the allotted time you may have. If you cannot get to a quiet place do the best you can for the time you have. As you are getting comfortable take some deep breaths and feel your body relax. If counting your breath for 30-60 seconds allows you to relax quickly, feel free to utilize this technique.

As you relax focus on your solar plexus chakra. This is your third chakra and located just below your ribs in the center of your chest. The color associated with this chakra is yellow so focus your mind on a bright yellow disk spinning in the center of your body.

While you visualize this bright yellow disk spinning allow positive thoughts and feelings to embrace your entire body, but continue to focus on your solar plexus chakra. Spend your time feeling this energy center open and your self esteem become supercharged!

If you have enough time use the last 2-3 minutes telling yourself positive mantras, ?I am great at my job? or ?I am worthy of being loved?. Your inner self will lead you to the mantra(s) your personal self esteem requires to become positive and healthy. If you are able, say these out loud. If you unable to speak out loud, feel free to say it quietly to yourself.

As you finish, embrace the positive feelings flowing throughout your body. Attempt to do this meditation 2-3 times throughout your day, even if it is only for 2-5 minutes each time. When you have more time, utilize the free tools available on the internet for a more rapid improvement. Now take your life back into your own hands and become the person you want to be!
