EXERCISES TO HELP YOU BUILD
SELF-ESTEEM
Center Yourself
A lot of self-consciousness, nervousness, and fear comes from a feeling of
being "outside" yourself, as you worry about being judged, rejected,
or acting foolish. Do the following technique to regain your "center."
Take a deep breath and follow your breath into your body, down into your solar
plexus (a network of nerves below your rib cage behind your stomach). Press
there with your hand to help guide the breath. Focus on your feet, and feel
their connection to the floor. Then press on your "third eye" (the
spot on your forehead right between your eyes), concentrating your mind and
breath toward that point to focus on your spiritual energy, giving you
strength.
Express Yourself
Do this self-expression exercise. Look into a mirror and think of encounter
with someone. Speak your mind -- do this without any fear of judgment,
criticism, or disapproval. Watch your face and your expressions , and picture
being another person looking into your face. Adjust your face to please you, and
practice different looks that make you appear commanding or sexy.
