With autumn the rebirth begins…

Think of the peak experiences of your life — the best times you’ve had, the most joyous times, times when you felt worthy, important, or delighted. Then imagine feeling like that a lot more often. — Richard Brodie

When we feel unworthy it is difficult, at best, to reach one’s full potential. We should take inspiration from the autumn leaves. They drop off the old and work through the winter, storing energy to become new in the spring.

• The use of positive affirmations may be the most effective technique to overcome those feelings. Our real value must be acknowledged by ourselves.
• Taking action is another technique. Begin to build your self-esteem by making a commitment to add more positive to your life daily. Share kind thoughts, express curiosity, be optimistic, work hard, have fun and smile more often.
• And since you know yourself best, be your own judge, but be realistic in your self expectations…remember that the negatives will be replaced slowly so don’t judge yourself too harshly!
