The Truth About Low Self Esteem

by: Amy Twain

It is very essential for an individual to have a healthy self esteem in order to live a successful and happy life—both on a personal level and professional level. Self-esteem refers to the amount or dose of realistic respect that you possess for yourself. Individuals with a healthy dose of sense of worth realize that they deserve the good and best thing in their lives while those who suffer from low self esteem feel that they truly deserve all the bad things that happen in their lives. Individuals who have low self esteem always have a more difficult time living a successful and happy life. Nevertheless, every one of us is responsible for our own sense of worth and can take action and seek help to improve their confidence thereby to improve their lives also. How do you spot the signs of having low self esteem? People with low self esteem have a poor track record in work or in school. They are poor risk takers and poor problem solvers. Mostly, people with poor confidence always require the approval of those around them. They often face the day with numerous fears, the common one being in constant fear of being rejected by some people. They oftentimes possess some irrational beliefs and may tend to think irrationally in some situations. These people are mostly feeling nervous, anxious and insecure and sometimes may overreact with anger and resentment if they feel someone does not accept them. Most significantly, an individual with low self esteem does not feel worthy at all of giving or receiving love, compassion and nurturing. They may blame other people because they don’t take the necessary responsibilities for their actions. So how about the signs of somebody who have a healthy self esteem? People who have a healthy dose of sense of worth could state clearly who they are, what they’re committed to and where they are heading in their life. They are concerned with the welfare of other people and they are not self centered. They readily accept their duties and responsibilities and the consequences of their actions rather than making up excuses or blaming others. They are creative, proactive and productive, goal-oriented and optimistic. And most importantly, an individual with a healthy confidence fully understands that he/she is deserving of being loved and being cared for as well as worthy of caring and loving others. An individual’s confidence develops throughout life. Childhood experiences may play a key role in establishing whether a person has a low or healthy self esteem. Therefore, children who grew up with a low self esteem may often experience being severely criticized no matter how hard they try, yelled at or even beaten, they are often teased, ridiculed or ignored by their peers or by those in authoritarian roles, they often experience failure in school or in sports and made to feel that these failures mean that they are failures, and some of their parents might expect them to be perfect all the time. Low self esteem could affect both your physical and mental health. If you discover you suffer from this, you should find options that will help you on improving your sense of worth which will in turn improve your quality of life.

Connecting With Your Spiritual Source

by: Roseanna Leaton

In the Western world we have moved further and further away from the examination of mental processes and how they impact upon the way in which our lives unfold. This can be seen in many areas of our lives; we abrogate responsibility for how we feel to circumstances, other people - anything and everything other than ourselves and how we think. Take health, for example. We constantly look for a physical cause and not a mental one, when in fact both physical and mental forces are likely to be working together to effect a physical symptom. Depression can be caused just as easily by how you think about things as by a chemical trigger in your brain. The two causes tend to be intertwined. But it is less painful to go to the doctor for pills than it is to take the time to introspect and examine ones thoughts and feelings or to face the reality of one's circumstances; or is it less painful? In the short term perhaps this is the case, but in the long term I very much doubt it. And if we ignore the mental, we completely bury the spiritual. We all too easily close our minds off to this seemingly intangible aspect of the universe in which we reside. And yet, we do pay some lip service to spiritual wisdom. Most of us accept the truth in the quotes from the ancient Greeks, Buddha or other sages. Even those who are "non-believers" are happy to listen to such pearls of wisdom and accept them as the truth, whilst closing their minds to the real source of such wisdom. In the Eastern world spirituality has been preserved throughout the centuries. And in the West, there is clearly a gradual return of spiritual awareness which can be seen in the volume of contemporary books being written on the subject and also the content of numerous television documentaries. I myself notice it in the growing number of people who purchase hypnosis downloads and hypnosis recordings relating to matters of spirituality. Why is it so important that we grow in spiritual awareness? We are all multidimensional beings. We are mind, body and spirit. Everything in life is made up of energy and has its own energy frequency. Everything and everyone has their own electromagnetic field. We send out electrical frequencies through our very thoughts and we correspondingly magnetize electrical frequencies into our lives. You can choose to add more power to your thoughts as you tap into the power of the universe. Some people refer to this as the collective unconscious, others think of it more in terms of a higher being. This is not at cross purposes with any religion or faith you may have. Every religion agrees that there is a higher being, a source of all things, and you can approach spirituality in the light of your particular faith. If you are not of any particular religion you can apply spirituality in a manner which is comfortable to you - be it thinking in terms of the collective unconscious, or a higher being. Most of us are very set in our beliefs and do not question things enough. People are far more comfortable seeking a physical cause as opposed to a psychological one - let alone a spiritual one. Yet to ignore your spirit being, you ignore the real you. Your spirit is where your inner wisdom comes from. It is your higher self. You can easily tap into your spiritual side, and in so doing you will become more aligned and in tune with source, with the higher you. There are certain laws of the universe which, once you are aware of them, you can choose to consciously apply. Sometimes this is called cosmic ordering. From a scientific viewpoint, your thoughts have energy, and as you focus on something and energize that thought with a lot of emotion and are consistent in your thoughts, you will magnetize what you want into your reality. From a spiritual perspective, as you ask the universe, the collective unconscious, the higher source for something, and believe that it will be provided, and are again consistent in your thoughts, the universe will make it happen. A journey into spirituality will allow you to feel more in tune with your higher self, to feel aligned with source. You will feel that you can open your mind more to your inner wisdom and to the wisdom of the universe; you will find your true self, and your purpose and inspiration in life. As you pay attention to your spirit self and acknowledge who you really are you will experience an incredible feeling of freedom, inspiration and purpose in your life. As you allow yourself to entertain the realms of spirituality you will feel that you have moved from damp darkness into warm bright sunlight. Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis downloads.

As The Number of Crimes Increase, So Do The Numbers People With Criminal Records

by: Neil Douglas

If there have been a lot of crimes in your area you might be wondering if those how committed them actually live in your community or if they are from another town, city, state or country. Although you may not actually be able to find out this information, what you can discover is whether or not your fellow residents have criminal records. You can easily make this investigation happen by running a background check on the Internet. There are a variety of sites that can accommodate you, but it’s best to find one that provides you with the chance of searching free resources that are linked directly to your state. For instance, choose a website that will provide you with the sex offender registry as well as criminal, incarceration and court records associated with your state. This makes finding what you want a more convenient process. What info will I require in order to research someone? You will need their first and last names for sure. However, it also helps to know the name of the street, city and state and the zip code connected to their place of residents. You may require these details if you would like to check the National Sex Offender Registry or would like to try a free people search. What can I learn about an individual? You can find out what criminal offences (if any) they were charged with and when, if they were married, divorced, adopted, previous addresses and much more. However, do keep in mind that those finder resources that are gratis may not provide you with every public record detail as they are primarily focused on documentation regarding crime. Who should I investigate? That’s up to you, but most people generally feel inclined to look into those they are afraid to trust or who they believe may be lying to them. Furthermore, parents tend to check into the backgrounds of those that are frequently around their children (I.E. neighbors, babysitters, teachers, doctors, parents of friends etc.). What should I do if I discover a person has criminal records? If you really want your relationship with them to continue or develop you should confront them about it in a discreet and non-judgmental way. If not, stop associating with them.

The Most Common Causes of Car Accidents

by: Amelia Stenson

Every single day in South Africa an estimated 36 lives are lost in car accidents. And while there are a number of traditional triggers, driving under the influence and speeding remain the most common causes of motor vehicle accidents. Although human error is reported to be the sole cause of 57% of all accidents and the contributing factor in at least 90% of all incidents on the road, it can be broken down into a number of sub categories including drunk driving, speeding and driver fatigue. Car accidents cost R35 billion annually According to Arrive Alive South Africa, 90% of all crashes on our roads are due to lawlessness, an anomaly that costs the state, individuals and commerce an estimated R35 billion each year. These startling statistics are the ideal prompt for motor vehicle owners to ensure that they are adequately covered by car accident insurance, as there is a strong possibility of being involved in a road accident at some point in our lives. You may be an excellent driver, but one can never be sure about other drivers on the roads, of course. The number of fatal accidents involving drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs continues to explode exponentially even though traffic authorities have escalated their road safety campaign, particularly over the holidays when road usage is at its peak. In 2004, for instance, 197 accidents were allegedly caused by driving drunk but two years later the figure had rocketed to 312 - an unacceptable 2.55% more drivers in fatal crashes were drunk! 80% of drivers over the speed limit In South Africa, speeding is a particular problem with the vast majority of drivers simply ignoring the speed limits. In a recent case study in Mpumalanga, for instance, virtually 80% of all drivers were driving over the speed limit and this is not an isolated occurrence. Speeding and alcohol together are a deadly combination, and research conducted in the USA indicates that a much higher percentage of drunk drivers involved in deadly car accidents were also speeding. Drowsiness a major cause of road fatalities Although driver fatigue cannot be classified as lawlessness, it does fall under the category of driver negligence and it is assumed to be the primary contributing factor in literally thousands of accidents each year. The reason why the word ‘assumed’ is used here is because it is very difficult to prove driver fatigue. In the US, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has claimed drowsiness as the overwhelming cause in 4% of all fatal road accidents and South Africa should fall within this category. Drivers tend to fall asleep or lose concentration on high-speed, long, boring stretches of road but there are simple ways of avoiding driver fatigue. Try and undertake long journeys with a passenger, preferably a chatty one who will act as a co-driver too Make sure you take regular stops, every two hours if possible, where you can stretch your legs, have a coffee or cold drink and a quick bite to eat Rather avoid medications when driving as many of them can cause drowsiness and never, ever consume alcohol when driving

Before you become another road accident statistic, follow the simple suggestions above, adhere to rules of the road and make sure you have adequate road accident insurance and you should enjoy incident-free driving for many years to come.

The Key to Financial Freedom - Your Multiple Streams of Income

By:Daniel Britton

Have you ever considered that many of the world’s most successful people invest thousands of dollars or equivalent, plus countless hours on personal development and education? Did the success precede the investment or did the investment precede the success? America’s foremost business philosopher, Jim Rohn advises that we should spend more time on developing ourselves than we do on developing our business or career. The traditional model of achieving success, i.e. studying hard in school, specialising and following a career has been espoused and followed, largely without question for the past few generations. As children we may have had dreams of being astronauts, sports stars, singers, artists and the like, yet we are persuaded to discount these dreams and talents as foolish childish fantasies and encouraged down the well trodden paths of conforming and security. But where do these paths actually lead? The promised land of milk and honey? I don’t think so, certainly not in the majority of cases and certainly not in these most uncertain of times. We are encouraged by parents, teachers and other well meaning influences to stay in school and get the best education we can. This system serves to filter us into colleges, universities and hopefully well paid careers. We then earn, spend, earn a bit more and spend a bit more. After all, don’t we deserve a few of life’s luxuries? All that study, the long hours, hard work and delayed gratification? So that new notebook computer or widescreen TV is more a reward than an indulgence, more a necessity than a luxury. So too cars, we want the best we can afford, it’s more cost effective is it not to finance a new model rather than risk the associated repair costs or an older one. So it begins the earn-spend-borrow-repay lifestyle cycle which has ensnared so many of us in the western world. Robert Allen, best-selling author, likens it to walking up a down escalator. You have to keep moving just to keep still and if you should ever stop, the moving staircase will take you right back to where you started, i.e. the bottom. Or even worse, the basement. I apologise for painting a bleak picture but maybe we all need a little reality check now and again. But what is the answer, the keys to success? How can we get ahead, switch off the escalator or ultimately turn it in our direction? In the short term the answer is to spend less than you earn and save the difference - not very exciting but this alone will ensure that every two steps will result in only one step down. By frugally saving and investing relatively small amounts on a regular basis many people have achieved financial freedom and reached the top of their personal success escalators. Einstein considered compound interest as one of the great wonders of the world. The Power of 72 In order to determine the time it would take to double your money, divide the current rate of interest into 72. For example if the rate you were receiving was 4% it would take compound interest 72/4 or 18 years to double your money. Consider however a much higher rate of interest such as 24%. At this level it would only take 3 years. Where can I see a rate like this you may be asking, well not on your savings but how about on your credit cards? Compound interest works both ways and at these levels you will double your debt in just 3 years (allowing for minimum repayments etc). Spend less and save more may be the key to success – but it’s hardly going to get your pulse racing and have you tearing down to the bank to open a savings account, especially with interest rates hovering around zero. But it’s a start, an intention, the beginning of a good habit, the first steps on your road to success. To really turn the tide in your favour you really need to think about generating additional or multiple streams of income. Think about it, how would you like to generate a steady, regular stream of money coming into your account every week? Not from an extra job or additional hours but simple proven systems that with a little initial effort will add up to a major impact on your life for now and the future. So are you with me, are you excited by the potential here? Imagine a financially free future where you choose to work only when and where and crucially doing what you want to do. Maybe a chance to rediscover the childish fantasies or spend your time in the service of others or for a greater good. After all without the wasted energy and time of negotiating the downward moving staircase you are free to focus on the other goals and areas of your life. So how then do we reach this desired state, this nirvana? JD Rockefeller was quoted as saying “I have ways of making money that you know nothing of”. Earlier I mentioned bestselling author, Robert Allen – his outstanding book ‘Multiple Streams of Income’ explains 12 simple, proven methods to begin to turn the tide and the escalator in your favour. Without doubt it is one of the most impactful books I have read in the past decade and cannot recommend it highly enough. In essence he breaks down the most common ways of generating additional income as coming from four money mountains. Starting your own business, real estate, the stock market and the internet. What I especially like about this approach is that you can begin to learn while you earn in your current job and develop the multiple streams over time. One great place to start your climb to success is to cultivate a success mindset. Read and listen to inspirational materials that will not only educate but begin to imprint the endless possibilities upon your subconscious mind. There is more material on the subject of success today than at any time in our history. So don’t delay, when will now be a good time to get started? And always remember that it’s your attitude that dictates your altitude!
