In reply to Beverley Golden. Nip resistance in the bud unless it's your intuition telling you something is a good idea, Beverley. Happy Holiday Season to you and yours!

I’ve been looking back at this year and valuing the good things that happened. Especially the big birthday celebration for my mother’s 100th! It has been a very challenging year for many people and the key really is to find our centre, accept ourselves and move forward from a more positive place. Sometimes I find I do dwell on what didn’t work and how I can ‘fix’ it. I am committing for 2017, to being open to change and to recognizing when my resistance shows up, so that I can thwart it before it takes hold. Happy holiday season, Vatsala!

In reply to Teresa Salhi. Thanks Teresa. I do read and listen to the Gurus but when it comes to choice, I prefer to listen to my audience and my intuition otherwise it's easy to get caught in the Shiny Object Syndrome and that ultimately isn't a win-win. Thanks for the encouragement!

In reply to Dave. Absolutely, Dave. Repairing the holes in our Self-Esteem Bucket and strengthening it is a choice and a good one too. Glad you enjoyed the post.

I like how you followed your own path and created what your audience suggests. Giving the examples of high self esteem is valuable and let’s us reflect on our good so we can continue the journey. Great info – and enjoyed reading.

Hi Vatsala, I love your self esteem bucket metaphor. The image of the holes pierced in the bucket causing leaks is a vivid one. The great thing is that there are ways that we can mend the holes in our bucket as well. Enjoyed your post, thanks!

In reply to Reba Linker. Ah yes, Reba, those gremlins! Doing our Inner Work and letting go of beliefs that limit us is important. Thanks for adding to the conversation.

In reply to Sue Kearney (@MagnoliasWest). Exactly, Sue. We have the power to create healthy self-esteem. It's that first step that's important and then it's all momentum.

Thanks, Vatsala, my big takeaway today is that self-esteem is not something you have but something you do. I’m putting that one in my back pocket and will refer to it again.

Will share.

Blessed be.

I love the self-esteem bucket idea. I would add that sometimes we need to release deep, deep, core beliefs that can sometimes get in the way of our success in this life. For many people, an attitude adjustment and better strategies will do the trick; sometimes it’s just necessary to go deep – there’s no other way around it!
