~ Self Esteem and
You ~ "I regard
self esteem as the single most powerful force in
existence.... the way we feel about ourselves affects
virtually ever aspect of our existence: work, love, sex,
interpersonal relationships every kind." -Dr. Nathaniel
Branden Self esteem
enhances your performance, increases the likelihood of your
success, is the jet fuel of motivation, and the bedrock of
well-being and contentment. Just as we can never have enough
physical health neither can we have too much self esteem.
There is no more powerful way to develop true potential than
to enhance your self esteem. Also, if you have a high sense
of esteem, every problem will be easier to solve, or if it
can't be solved, you will be able to handle it with greater
poise and strength. This
workshop looks at the causes of low self esteem,what creates
high self esteem, what harms it and what enhances it.
Participants are encouraged to: * see how
their levels of self esteem affects their lives For Public
Workshops dates and bookings please see Schedule.

Self-Esteem
- What does it mean to you ? This
workshop sets out to promote understanding of the importance
of self-esteem in everyone's life. Even if you have never
heard of the term self-esteem, you have unconsciously
decided that you are of low value, high, value, or somewhere
between and on that rests much of your behaviour and the
pleasure and contentment that you will have in
life. Just
as we can never have too much physical health, neither can
we have too much self-esteem. If you develop a high sense of
esteem every problem will be easier to solve, or if it can't
be solved you will be able to handle it with greater poise
and strength. There is no more powerful way to discover your
true potential than to work on your self-esteem. Participants
will be encouraged to see how their own levels of
self-esteem affects their lives, to look at behaviour
patterns which are impeding fulfilment and to find new ways
of experiencing and expressing themselves in a relaxed and
supportive environment. Two
definitions:of Self-Esteem;- "
The evaluation a person makes, and customarily maintains, of
him or herself; that is, overall, self-esteem is an
expression of approval or disapproval, indicating the extent
to which a person believes himself or herself competent,
successful, significant and worthy". "
Self-Esteem is the experience of being able to cope with the
basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness.
It consists of two components: Self-efficacy-confidence in
our ability to think, learn, choose and make appropriate
decisions and Self-respect - confidence in our right tot be
happy, confidence that achievement, success, friendship,
respect, love and fulfilment are appropriate to
us". and one of
Mental Health;- "
One way of describing mental health is that it is the
emotional resilience which enables us to enjoy life and to
survive pain, disappointment and sadness. It is a positive
sense of well-being and an underlying belief in our own and
other's dignity and worth".

* look at behaviour patterns which are impeding self
fulfilment
