What’s The Story With Self-Esteem?
Both high self-esteem and low self-esteem are identities..
They are masks worn over our true selves. High self-esteem usually stems from self-imposed conditions that are met, enabling you to experience a conditional love for yourself. Low self-esteem is just the same, yet without anything to meet your own conditions that would grant you permission to love yourself. Self-esteem implies rules, guidelines, and a step-by-step guide on “how to be”. How about dropping the facade, letting go of the effortful identities, and accepting yourself exactly for who you are? Do you know that underneath all of your silly attempts to be a certain way, you are already perfect? 🙂 “Ask yourself: What are the reasons I do not let myself fully BE who I am, with no facade over my heart? This question will most likely highlight all the fears you hold onto. And then, you can let go of them. Trust me, it’s worth it. Allowing yourself to just BE who you truly are is the most precious gift you could give to yourself and the world.” Love, Elina .
