What’s the most important thing about the universe that most of us don’t know and that we should?That the atoms in our body, the nitrogen, the iron, the carbon, all of this, are traceable to cosmic crucibles, deep in the centers of stars. The star manufactures them by thermonuclear fusion; and when it explodes, it scatters that enrichment into gas clouds that make the next generation of star systems, such as we.So it is not like we are out in the universe, looking up and saying “I am alive in this universe, but I feel small”. No: the universe is alive within us; and we should feel large.

“The universe is alive within us; and we should feel large.”

Mastering Self-Care: Unveiling the Art of Attraction

Self-esteem is the vital ingredient for success and happiness in our lives. When we lose it, our self-belief disappears and everything starts to go wrong.

Self-Esteem: Vital Ingredient for Success and Happiness

If people speak negatively about themselves and are continually bringing themselves down, it doesn't take long before we are agreeing with them. When we bring ourselves down, our self-esteem falls lower and lower. Instead, when you say positive things about yourself, you increase your self-respect and so others treat you with respect, which in turn increases your self-esteem.

Tip #1: Say Positive Things about Yourself

Poor self-image means low self-esteem. Start to appreciate something about your appearance. Begin to admire an aspect of your appearance and you will gradually learn how to appreciate other things about yourself.

Tip #2: Change a Poor Self-Image

Protect your positive feelings and self-esteem and stay away from grumpy people.

Tip #3: Stay Away from Grumpy People

When we are low in self-esteem, this self-hate just takes us even lower. Be your own best friend. Talk to yourself the way you would to your very best friend.

Tip #4: Be Your Own Best Friend

Tip #6: Look Forward and Not Back

Do you ever feel you are being taken for granted by people? This might be because you are doing things that you really don't want to but you just can't say 'no'.You are not a victim with a low self-esteem unless you are choosing to be one.

Tip #7: Stop Being a Victim

Our clothes can be so much part of our image. Living in the past is not good for your own feelings of self-respect and self-worth.Clear out your closet and your mind of the old memories that hold you back.

Tip #8: Throw Out Your Old Clothes

Do you ever find that you just don't seem to have any time for yourself? Do something just for yourself.

Tip #9: Take Some Time Just for Yourself

Think of something that you need to do but you keep putting off for some reason. Make a list of these jobs. Now choose one thing on the list and do it!When we know that we have things to do but keep finding excuses not to do them, we begin to lose our self-respect.We can spend much more energy thinking about doing something and then not doing it and then not liking ourselves for not doing it than it takes to actually do it.

Tip #10: Do What You've Got to Do

<ul><li>If you feel ill at ease using the phone or you have a particularly difficult call to make, do it standing up.</li><li>Smile into the phone.</li></ul>

<ul><li>If you feel that you have behaved badly or made a serious mistake, then apologize and try to put the situation right.</li><li>When you have done the best you can, that is indeed the best you can do.</li></ul>

Tip #20: Stop Blaming Yourself

Many people with low confidence levels actually feel threatened by people who appear to be successful and so choose to spend time with people who are in an even worse situation than themselves. Success attracts success, just as negativity attracts negativity.

Tip #21: Associate with Successful People

Sometimes it can be very hard to decide whether your needs come before or after the needs of someone else.

Tip #22: Draw Your Line in the Sand

Your desire to make the best use of your time depends upon how much you value it.

Tip #26: Give Yourself Some 'Feeling Checks'

The person you finally scream at has usually had absolutely nothing to do with the small stress-inducing items that have built up to create your volcano of anger.Let go of stress as quickly as you can.

Instead of saying, "I've got a problem." Say, "How can I face this challenge?"

Tip #28: Replace the Word 'Problem' with the Word Challenge

Spend a day listening to everyone you meet rather than talking to them.

Tip #29: Listen for a Day

We are creatures of the earth, and that is where our roots lie. Sometimes we forget our true beginnings and then we become nervous, stressed, and afraid.

Tip #30: Ground Yourself

Why can one person create new directions for her/himself whilst another always seems to be the victim of circumstances?

Tip #31: Make Something Happen

Tip #39: Watch Your Body Language

When we speak badly about other people, we change the way that we feel abour ourselves.

Tip #41: Speak Well of Others

'No' is such a small word, but it seems to be one of the hardest words for us to use. Practice saying 'no'. Whenever you are feeling victimized, you are in low self-esteem and you need to say 'no' to somebody.

Tip #42: Say 'No' When You Want to

Remember that if you are allowing yourself to feel guilt, you will be low in self-esteem.

You are feeling totally protected. You know that nothing and no one can harm you when you are inside your beautiful bubble.

Tip #56: Step into a Bubble

We teach people they way we want them to treat us. This means that if people are using you as a doormat, then this is because you have let them do so.

Tip #57: Be Assertive

If we are low it feels impossible to believe that we really are special, worthy, and lovable. But of course it is always true.

Tip #58: Make a List of Positive Affirmations

Remember that you can change your life and you can create self-esteem, however impossible this may seem to you at the moment.

60 Tips For Self Esteem

Self-judgment refers to the process of evaluating oneself, which can include recognizing strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.- It doesn't inherently carry a negative connotation. Self-judgment can be neutral or positive when approached with a balanced and constructive mindset.- Purpose: Constructive self-judgment can be a healthy mechanism for self-reflection and personal growth. It involves acknowledging both strengths and areas that may need development.

Self-Judgment

Self-criticism involves a more negative and harsh evaluation of oneself. It often includes focusing on perceived flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings.- It typically carries a negative and self-disparaging tone. Self-criticism tends to undermine one's self-worth and can lead to feelings of inadequacy or unworthiness.- Impact: Persistent self-criticism can contribute to stress, anxiety, and a negative impact on mental health. It may hinder personal development rather than fostering growth.

Self-Criticism

- It's crucial to strike a balance in self-judgment, avoiding excessive self-criticism. Recognizing areas for improvement while maintaining a positive and compassionate perspective is key.- Constructive self-reflection involves acknowledging mistakes without allowing them to define one's sense of self-worth. It's about learning from experiences rather than harshly criticizing oneself.

Balancing Self-Judgment

- Developing self-compassion involves treating oneself with kindness and understanding, especially during challenging times.- Instead of harsh self-criticism, practicing self-compassion involves recognizing that everyone makes mistakes and faces difficulties.

Cultivating Self-Compassion

Self-judgment can be a valuable tool for personal growth when approached with balance and positivity. On the other hand, excessive self-criticism is generally counterproductive and can have negative effects on mental well-being. Striving for a healthy and compassionate self-view is essential for overall emotional health. If self-criticism becomes overwhelming, seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional can be beneficial.

The Keys: Balance and positivity

Self-judgment and self-criticism are related concepts, but they differ in their underlying tones and potential impacts on an individual's well-being.

Self-identity refers to the recognition, understanding, and categorization of oneself as a distinct individual with a unique combination of traits, characteristics, roles, and affiliations.- Components: It encompasses various elements, including personal traits, roles (such as student, friend, or employee), cultural or social affiliations, and a sense of continuity and consistency over time.- Dynamic Nature:Self-identity is dynamic and can evolve over the lifespan as individuals experience personal growth, life events, and changes in their social environment.

My emotions has been a wreck recently, and this is what I've learned. Pass it on to others, it's sacred knowledge!

In this episode, we explore the Law of Assumption/Attraction's core principles: attracting, creating, and allowing. We shift focus from future goals to embodying our desired selves in the present, incorporating Eckhart Tolle's "presence" concept. Embracing uncertainty, inspired by Deepak Chopra, we align with Abraham Hicks to emphasize positive vibrations. Drawing from Wayne Dyer, we project our intentions into the future and engage our senses, echoing Joseph Murphy's subconscious mind insights. Discover the interconnectedness of thoughts with Deepak Chopra, bridging the Newtonian and Quantum worlds. Boost confidence through Tony Robbins' beliefs and ignite passion with Sadhguru's focus on purpose. Join us in understanding the power of thoughts as tools, creators, and the artists of our reality.  Notes:  Visualize as the person you are or want:Make it about embodying your desired self.Avoid framing it as a future goal; see it as your present state.Incorporate Eckhart Tolle's idea of "presence" – be fully in the moment during visualization.Embrace the unknown:Be comfortable with uncertainty and not having all the answers.Draw inspiration from Deepak Chopra's teachings on embracing uncertainty as a pathway to infinite possibilities.Getting out of your current situation isn’t your job:Focus on creating the desired future rather than escaping the present.Align with the Law of Attraction – as taught by Abraham Hicks – focus on the vibration of what you want, not the lack of it.Dwell on the future as a present fact:Project yourself into the future mentally, as if it's already happening.Integrate teachings from Wayne Dyer about the power of intention – act as if your intentions are already a reality.Imagine feelingly with your heart:Connect emotionally to the envisioned conditions in your life.Connect with the heart-centered teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion in your visualization.Make the imaginary act vivid and sensory:Create a mental experience so real that it feels like it's bound to happen.Follow Joseph Murphy's teachings on the subconscious mind – vivid imagery and sensory experiences impress the subconscious.Avoid reinforcing negative stories before sleep:Be mindful of your thoughts before bedtime; don't reinforce negative narratives.Utilize Louise Hay's approach of affirmations – replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations for a more empowering mindset.Various emotions vibrate on different frequencies:Higher coherent frequencies for positive emotions; lower, erratic frequencies for survival emotions.Integrate teachings from Dr. David Hawkins – higher emotions like love and joy resonate at a higher frequency, attracting positive experiences.Mind's inability to distinguish between imagination and reality:Understand that the mind may not differentiate between what's imagined and what's real.Explore the teachings of Ram Dass on the nature of consciousness – understanding that the mind is a tool, and consciousness is beyond it.You already possess what is in your mind:Acknowledge the power of thoughts and their manifestation.Merge with the teachings of Deepak Chopra on the interconnectedness of everything – what you desire already exists in the unified field of consciousness.Newtonian world vs. Quantum world:Material vs. energy; certainty vs. uncertainty and predictability.Reflect on the holographic universe theory – Michael Talbot's idea that reality is a hologram, blurring the lines between the Newtonian and Quantum worlds.Confidence comes with belief:The more profound your belief, the more confident you become.Embrace Tony Robbins' teachings on the power of state – when you believe in your vision, you naturally exude confidence.Be obsessed with what you want:
