 What's happening guys? Isaac here. Today I want to talk about your self-esteem and how it's incredibly important in your self-actualization or person development journey. Now your self-esteem basically in layman's terms is your what you believe your self-worth to be or your self-estimate right? What you believe your self-worth is and in order to be able to achieve a lot of things we want to achieve we want to ensure that we have a healthy self-esteem and not a negative or bad self-esteem. See people with bad self-esteem are people that beat themselves down that believe they are not worthy of great things that always look at the negatives instead of the positives and people with a healthy self-esteem believe that they're capable of good things that they can get better and all these positive attributes that we need that empower us on our journey and one of the ways that we sabotage ourselves one of the ways that we can mess up our self-esteem is by focusing on the downside. Now what I mean by this is what always happens when you start something new what's always necessary is that you're gonna have that period of time when you're not very good at it the period of time when you're learning and you're making mistakes and some of these mistakes might be embarrassing now this could be through when you're asking to get off for the first time or going in for the first kiss or perhaps you're doing the public speaking for the first time maybe you joined a basketball team and you're about to play your first game your very first game from everyone there's plenty of times where we are gonna fuck up and it's gonna be embarrassing so what's important for yourself esteem here is that whenever you make a mistake is you focus on what you'll learn while making the mistake you'll focus on yourself making the mistake that makes any sense that is you don't take it as an ego hit you just focus on what you can gain from it and you also focus on your achievements more than your mistakes so focus on the times you were successful focus on the times when you actually did get that three-pointer shot on the basketball court or focus on the time when you did do that public speech that was excellent and everyone was applauding everyone was on your side focus on the upside focus on upside on your successes so that you can reinforce this idea to your head that you are capable of great things and remember focus on the lessons don't vividly remember everything about your failures don't don't put your ego into it don't make it an emotional thing just remember what you learn and move on that way you have positive upside on both sides of the spectrum here now I personally used to be one of these people used to beat themselves down whenever I did something wrong so perhaps maybe I fell down something I was just an honest mistake and I'll be thinking about it for the next three days replaying in my mind seeing myself doing it making a very emotional problem once I stopped doing this I was able to actually achieve a lot greater things because once you get rid of this loss of esteem habit and start taking more awareness into what's gone through your mind and what you're focusing on you can definitely start doing some damage you can definitely start being more successful whatever you choose because with success there's always gonna be barriers it's inevitable there's always gonna be tough times shit's gonna hit the fan and your self-esteem is what's gonna ensure that you're capable of going forward and not moving backwards your self-esteem is what's gonna ensure that you make it to the top of the mountain that you don't give up so it's a very important that you implement this simple habit that I just told you about and you're gonna see all kinds of results anyway I hope you guys enjoyed that video if you liked it give it a like if you haven't subscribed why haven't you subscribed and also please leave your comments down below so we can start dialogue start talking about self-esteem because it's a topic I want to get into for future videos because incredibly important so important anyway see you guys later peace
