If we don’t love and respect ourselves how can we expect anyone else to? Many of us think that self-love is a dirty word, yet how we view ourselves (our self-esteem) affects every facet of who we are and how we choose to live our life. We spend our precious time sabotaging ourselves, and then wonder why we aren’t feeling fulfilled, or accomplishing the goals we want to.

After reading the following articles if you feel that you would like some help in learning how to stop sabotaging yourself, learn to reclaim your power, and lead a more fulfilling life with limitless possibilities, please contact me at: Progressivelifecoach.com to set up a complimentary coaching consultation. You only go around once. Life is too short not to enjoy it!

"No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."

What’s (Self) Love Got to Do With It?
The legend of Narcissus tells of a young boy who, upon seeing his reflection in a clear fountain with water like silver, fell hopelessly in love with himself. Unable to tear his gaze away from his reflection, he could not eat, could not sleep, until finally, he pined away and died.

Unfortunately, the myth of Narcissus is too often our concept of self-love. We believe that if we love ourselves, we are selfish and self-centered, that falling in love with self means conceit and self-absorption. In fact, the opposite is true. Self-love is an honoring of the self that requires a high degree of independence and courage. The love we give others will be enhanced by the love we give ourselves. Read full story here.

Here are 10 ways to help you deal with it.

1. Understand your response to change. Do you tend to leap before you look or to imagine the worst?

2. Take responsibility for your reaction to change. You may not be able to control the events, but you can control your reaction to them. Go to full article.
