The Anything Post - The 'Cure' to Self Esteem

From experiences and encounters with others, there is no doubt that many and most combat with a(n) distressing, self conscious concept. However, for some, it's as if some kind of totalitarian Pac-Man eats away after single aspect of that being, in which can cause a grand basin of brokenness. Robert Enright, a professor of psychology, has discovered that someone who struggles with low self esteem or extreme conscious one one's self  has been often treated badly by others for a long period of time, in which to the point that person incorporates other's viewpoints and beliefs into their personality. 

As a person who struggles with low self esteem, it's like a combination of comments but also perspective. For example, a person may state a supposed factor about me to me in a means of no harm, but my brain seems to challenge that as it accounts to every way that a projection of a word or thought from another can turn into something negative. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I completely respect that. I understand that many - or basically everyone - confronts with a disagreeable factor of themselves, and that is undeniably true, for no one is perfect. And many say, "who cares," but it's not that simple to overcome for those who have low self esteem. I certainly do not want to be entitled to other's opinions, but for some odd reason it's as if my brain replays the negative constitutions of others. The training to surpass the critical thoughts is and will be a lengthy process - maybe even something I will continue to struggle with all my life...but everyone's got their own kinds of brokenness. 

The psychology article of the cure states:

1)  Stand with courage in the truth: “I was wronged.”  If none of this is your fault, say that to yourself: “This is not my doing.  I did not bring this on myself.”
2)  Stand further in the truth: “Even though this person may have a bad view of me, I refuse to share that view of myself with this person.”  Resist the lie.
3)  As you stand in the truth, be aware of your strength in doing so: “I am enduring what I did not deserve.  I am stronger than I thought.”
4)  Commit to doing no harm to the one who harmed you.  As you do that, reflect on who you are: “I am someone who can endure pain and not return pain to the other.”
5)  Finally, conclude in the truth: “I will not be defined by the injustices against me.  I am more than this. I am someone who endures pain and is a conduit for good to others.”

Over these past years, I am building much confidence and value for myself....And the cure listed above is for the most part accurate of how I have been terminating my low self esteem. However, it's also been very much credited to my faith. I really honestly hope that this post was not too sappy or sad........I just meant to this post to acknowledge why I act the way I act at times.
