Self Esteem Booster- Part 1
Everyone receives compliments and praise from time to time. Sometimes they may seem
trivial, like "Hey, you're looking great" or "You look sharp today". At other times they may
seem quite significant, like "You are so sexy", or "Do you know how much people respect
you?"
Sincere, positive perceptions from others, which you might not have been able to see or fully
appreciate from the point of view you had at the time, can be valuable in learning to
appreciate your own qualities more fully and enhance your self-esteem now.;
The next three techniques will help you to eliminate emotional hunger by enabling you to;
Read through the techniques in their entirety or print them off so you can refer to them later.
1. Think of somebody who you think likes what they see when they look at
themselves. You don't have to know this for a fact, but you suspect that when they
look in the mirror they say nice things about themselves.
2. Imagine your model of beauty is standing in front of you. Imagine how they look,
their posture, and as much as you can about them.
3. Next, close your eyes and imagine stepping in to them - right in to their body. Copy
their body posture exactly and see through their eyes, hear through their ears and feel
the confident happy feelings of self appreciation they have.
4. Take those good feelings and move them up to the top of your head and down to the
tip of your toes, until you are totally covered in that good feeling.
Now, staying in touch with that good feeling, open your eyes and stare in to your eyes.
DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR BODY - just keep staring in to your eyes for at least 2
minutes. This exercise re-calibrates the perceptual filter of your consciousness and allows
your mind to see more clearly in the future.
When you get comfortable with part one, you can move on to part two.
Self Esteem Booster- Part 2
Before you do this exercise read through all the steps first.
1. Standing in front of a mirror with your eyes closed, recall a specific time when you
were paid a compliment by someone you respect or trust. You don't necessarily need
to have believed the compliment at the time but you do need to trust the sincerity of
the person who said it. Run through the experience all over again.
2. As you recall the compliment, and the sincerity of the person who said it, pay
particular attention to your feelings of trust and regard for the other person.
3. When you feel that as strongly as possible, open your eyes, look in the mirror and
really see what they saw. Allow yourself to see what someone else has seen and
notice how that feels.
4. Finally, imagine taking a picture of yourself just like that. Imagine taking that picture
right into your heart. Keep it there so that you can look at it whenever you want to
remind yourself how good you can feel.
When you get comfortable with part two, you can move on to part three:
Self Esteem Booster - Part 3
1. Each day, spend at least one minute looking at your body in the mirror. In an ideal
world, you will do this without clothes, but if that doesn't feel right at first, you may
wear anything that reveals your basic shape.
2. Notice what thoughts come up, from  this is stupid' to  God, I hate my thighs' to
 hmmm ... not bad - not bad at all!.
3. Send love, approval and positive energy to the person in the mirror. Let them know
that you're on their side, and that your love for them is not dependent on the size of
their thighs.
Remember to use these techniques every day and don't be too surprised at how quickly you
begin to notice the changes.
