How to Improve Self-Worth: The 2nd Crucial Pillar of Self-Worth
This is the second of 3 parts in the “Three Pillars of Self-Esteem” series.
The second pillar of robust self-esteem is to recover your natural ability to recognise and even depend on your inner voice of wisdom and steerage. Some of the people call it “trusting your gut” others reference it as “intuition” or your “sixth sense.” I call it being “illuminated.”
There is little more frustrating than knowing you can do far better in life but just cannot appear to get there. Inside, you are feeling without an iota of doubt you are far more able in general and that your true “self” is locked up inside hollering to get out. Your heart tells you that you have got the strength and abilities heretofore unproven, but that they live in you untouched. You can not seem to get in contact with your “higher” self. You are feeling like you are in the dark, stifled by your disappointment.
As described by best-selling writer Robin Jayne Dedeker (self-esteem), “Every person among us has the gift of intuition inside themselves.” Sadly, as we progress thru life it is common for many of us to lose contact with our authentic and naturally intuitive selves. We start to listen more to what’s going down on the outside and less to the crucial messages being broadcast on the inside.
Those who reconnect with those inner messages and live the illuminated life experience a deep sense of “knowing” that leads to unshakable confidence and an ease of achievement.
As you begin to listen for that little, quiet voice inside, you begin a journey of uplifting awareness and self-realization and, with the right disposition you can at last come to depend on this pillar of self-esteem. As that voice gets more intense with awareness, your natural intuition and self-trust grows showing intuitive skills, mystic abilities, and powers of extra-sensory perception.
By raising your self-acceptance and recognizing the wonderful creature known as “you,” your choices become self-assured based not only on perceptive decision making, logic, and pragmatic realism but also the creativeness that flows deep within your being.
Here are a few straightforward pointers that may help you reconnect with your intuitive inner voice of guidance :
1. Listen less to what is happening “outside” and more to what is going on inside. This includes Television, newspapers, gossip, for example. Spend that time in a quiet spot, not particularly thinking, but allow yourself the advantage of just “being” for one or two minutes. Shortly your inner voice will reemerge from the daily noise.
2. Ask open-ended questions around the things in your life you are struggling with. When you ask yourself questions, be quiet and essentially expect an answer . Simply, an open-ended is one that’s not answered with a “yes” or “no.”
3. Permit yourself the freedom to “feel” the solutions to the challenges you are facing. Your answers may not come as a “voice” but as a feeling or sense to take action.
When you realize the new chances and begin to explore and experience the inner illuminated you, your life will immediately take on an alternative meaning and reflect that meaning to those around you. You’ll learn how to depend on your intuition to make better decisions, which will cause more excellent results in your life. You’ll nearly explode with a new found appreciation for “you.” For help in finding your “illuminated” self, go to self-confidence.
