Hey, I got 2 bites! Yippee
Well guys, if you've taken the time and effort to do this, you'll probably already know The Secret.
How did you feel when you were thinking of the many ways you already are a kick-ass human being?
Pretty darn good, I'd suppose!
(Wait, unless you were stoned...do the exercise again dammit! Sober this time
)
And...class dismissed.
Oops, were you expecting something else?
Erm...ok, tonight before you go to sleep, I want you to chant 'I'm really really great and by gosh, people will love me' 99 times before you go to sleep...upside down, ok? That's a Mega Secret Technique I'm not revealing anywhere else!
That's really it guys. To build a absolutely world-class low self-esteem, all you have to do is focus everyday on the ways you suck, and pretty soon you'll be carrying the Olympic gold of low self-esteem.
To build up a healthy self-esteem, acknowledge your weaknesses and screw-ups, but focus
more on your strengths and achievements.
By golly, if that means patting yourself on the pat once in a while, and listening to the advice of a guy telling you to list your top 10 qualities...then
do it! 
To key is, in the words of Robert Dilts, to shift yourself from learned hopelessness, helplessness and worthlessness to
have hope for the future, a sense of capability and responsibility, and a sense of self-worth and belonging.
Gosh, those are probably the biggest words I'll be using in this post. If you guys could come up with 10, you're pretty far along already...give yourself a pat on the back
My turn:
1) I'm funny.
2) I love to learn.
3) I love to make people laugh.
4) I'm a good and loyal friend.
5) I can cheer people up.
6) I have a blog where I share stuff that makes a difference!
7) I attract awesome friends...I must be pretty awesome too :P
8) I'm loving...I love my family and friends so much.
9) I'm a good writer!
10) I've faced so many of my fears over the last 3 years, ever since I became a coach - and I'm darn proud of myself for that!
