Almost everyone has felt low self-esteem at some point in their lives. Some feel it fleetingly and some for protracted periods of time. The best scenario is when you have banished it forever from your psyche. The fact is that if you have found the unshakable peace within your being, low self-esteem is no longer a possibility. This article describes how aligning with that peace ensures that you will never, think poorly of yourself again.
Low self esteem occurs when you have a poor opinion of yourself. The problem is that based on this opinion, you often think thoughts like this:
-
“I am really no good at this.”
-
“Why can’t I be like him/her.”
-
“I am too stupid to improve myself.”
If you have been made aware of inner peace, then learned about how to find it, then constantly positioned yourself in it, these thoughts will no longer bother you (whether they occur or not).
That’s because being in a state of inner peace separates you from your thoughts and causes you to watch your thoughts like a movie.
If you’re watching a movie and someone on the screen said, “I am such a pile of crap,” would you care? That’s someone saying it in a movie about themselves, not about you, a person in the audience.
In the same vein, next time you think, “I am such a pile of crap,” remember to quickly step back and be a witness to your thinking. “I am such a pile of crap,” is just your mind talking about itself, not you. You’re the one who’s watching your mind.
As a matter of fact, anything you think is just your mind talking, not you talking. And you should always position yourself as a witness to your thoughts. If you are a witness to all your thinking, then you are yourself free of all thought. If you are free of all thought, you can never be agitated, because agitation occurs when you are involved in some disturbing thought process or the other. You are in a state of perfect inner peace.
This is how inner peace triumphs over low self-esteem (as well as a whole lot of other mental conditions).
Start witnessing your thoughts today.
To your naturally peaceful life,

yeah, assessing our thoughts is important so as to realize we dont become too much negative by giving ourselves negative auto suggestions.
Nice post buddy, as always
There is peace indeed where there is self acceptance. When we truly begin to know who we really are, we can start smiling and being thankful for who God made us to be
