Self-Esteem

I have discovered a wonderful blog ... MyThoughtCoach ... and wanted to share it with you.  I particularly enjoyed the post on Self-Esteem.

It is so easy to base our self-esteem on external things when those things really have absolutely nothing to do with who we are and what makes us great.  I've attached a song from my CD, Life Lessons, that speaks to the idea that we're not what we do, but who we are.

I recently asked myself who I was outside of being a wife, daughter, sister, friend, singer, songwriter ... what's left?  Or better yet, who's left?  Just me ... a human ... being, not a human ... doing!  Because I'm a person who likes to be in control and enjoys being busy, it's very hard to just be and allow myself to live in the moment.  I'm getting better at it and what I find helpful these days is meditation ... sometimes guided, and sometimes silent.  Through meditation, my thoughts are directed to stillness which allows me to see, feel and understand me a bit better.  MyThoughtCoach offers a lot of great guided meditations, so if you're looking to tap in to you, I encourage you to visit this website and discover who you are without all the stuff!

Enjoy ...
