Creative Unblocking as Vital for Raising Self-Esteem


Self-Esteem depends on two things:
1. Learning to think about yourself in healthy ways, - (This stops you covering up who you are) and
2. the ability to make things happen, to create your own life. – (Your actions with their results reveals you to yourself)
(McKay & Fanning, 2000.)

We can see then, that blocks to our creativity pose a serious threat to our over all self-esteem. If we want to raise our self-esteem for a better quality life, it follows that we need to unblock our creativity.

The more our creativity flows, the greater our self-esteem.

On Dealing with the Tests and Trials of Life


If I make a decision to never use the defense mechanism of snapping at someone and decide, never to snap at anyone ever again, some test will come to provide me with the opportunity to be the kind of person that I want to be. I am going to have a situation or two or three that is set up, to make me really want to snap at someone.

If I am not tempted to snap, how will I know the magnificent feeling that I feel when I am able to not do it?

So; do not believe that tests and trials are about punishment. – Such a belief acts against the inherent power of being consistent.

Being consistent is a useful technique for helping to raise ones over all self-Esteem

The Power of Consistency


The tests of life are never punishments. Perhaps a test comes in stead as a graduation gift. Perhaps you have shown your earnestness in something and the universe is giving you an opportunity to confirm this to yourself.

Wondering how consistency is connected to the tests of Life?
