Promoting a Healthy Self Esteem

Imagine you are sitting on a hill, looking out over a beautiful scene

Think about the last few days


  • Have you made a choice that you think could be better but you didn't because of the other person?
  • Have you stood up for yourself and taken responsibility?
  • Do you love, respect and trust yourself enough to have the courage to look at what you bring to this world?

&

  • How would your life change if you had a high powered healthy self esteem?

It takes a lot of self to recognise what you bring to this world and a lot of self to look at your shadow. 
Do you want to be someone who is upfront? 
Are you willing?

Here are some markers to help a healthy self esteem and in no particular order and it is a beginning. 

When you start, I know that you will seek out more because as you respect yourself, your self esteem will raise your standards and what you value will be clearer and defined.

1. Think of one area in your life you would be willing to change by the end of the day? That when you did, it would empower you. Hold to that. Keep it small and stick to it.  You are starting to gain momentum. 

2.  Strengthen your intuition, remember intuition is not a gift, it is a skill. A skill that you practise.  You will walk the unknown to build your self esteem. Your ability to hear your intuition is dependent on your self esteem.

3. Judging others can be a mirror of how you see yourself. Question yourself as to why I am judging that person.  Is this thinking you are carrying value to you? Keep tabs on your private agendas and be upfront. Your self esteem will bloom when there is honesty.

The greatest gift you can give yourself is a healthy self esteem.
The greatest gift you can give to the world is a healthy you.

When genuine self love and self worth are present and alive with us.
We attract love and respect from others.

We see things the way we are


There is bad and good in our life. 
The bad will still happen, but you can perceive it differently.
We do not see things the way they are; we see things the way we are.
We choose our perceptions and we choose our action.


Your self esteem is your spirit in action.
Your self esteem is your self empowerment.
When you lack a sense of self you will have a distorted view of life.
Your perceptions come from your sense of self.

The more you live in the present, the more fulfilling life gets. 
You can survive the unknown.
Courage is not from reading a book about courage.
Courage is action.

You can wish, you can hope and you can dream.
Life begins when you take action.
The present is the best time to choose your best.
It's simple, it's obvious, it is share worthy.








what does unlock your best future mean?

This all started for me when I made the decision to get out of my employment and wow, that was a big step. The job was comfortable, I was good at it, it was secure, I was in a routine that didn't take much effort.  The clues for me to get out and make the shift took me a while to hear, it had to start shouting at me to take action and start seeking. 


I was seeking more for my quality of life and creating more of what I wanted to be and to do.  

For me when I coined the phrase "unlock your best future" it meant that it is already there and waiting for you to make the choice and it means encouraging your sense of self and respecting your unique contribution, to live more in your present and be purposeful about your future.


My best future was to jump right out of my comfortable zone and take some risks. To go on a discovery tour of what is
possible and learn, learn, learn.  I wanted to give more back and in return I knew I would gain so much more.

Remember - Your entire life revolves around CHOICE.

Ok, I admit there are some days, it would just be easier to go back to the way it was. Take that step back away from my best future because it is hard, it is sometimes lonely, you have moments of doubt and what I am learning is not always good to hear - it is for my benefit but my ego doesn't like it.  What has helped is the encouragement from my coaches, my mentors, my friends and my teachers to continue, one step at a time and know that what I am doing is powerful.
I can't keep it to myself, it must be shared as everyone is entitled to seek their best future.

I love the Vincent van Gogh quote
 " When the little voice inside you says you cannot paint, just go ahead and do it anyway"

After some quiet reflective times to work out what it is I want to do. I knew it was important to start my own training business.   I knew from my organisational development background that sending staff to management and leadership development programs that it would end with little return and change in the workplace. 
My belief is that your personal development in the life skill areas, such as overcoming procrastination, self esteem, the challenge of change are the foundations to getting the most out of those programs and see the benefits in the workplace and more importantly to unlock your best future.

By taking that step forward to unlock your best future you believe in your worth to step up and say I want better, I deserve better, I want my future to be fulfilling, exciting and joyous.
