Boosting Self Esteem
Boosting Self Esteem
Won’t Work if
You Are Afraid of Your Light
Boosting self esteem is basically impossible without healing our wounds.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson
Let’s say that we can identify with what Marianne is saying. We can remove or at least reduce this fear by doing EFT on it. EFT is a wonderful way to deal with fears and is explained in the article on EFT. Watch the video then use this script to remove the fear of being powerful beyond measure.

Even though I am so afraid to let my light shine, and I am so afraid of the power I have available to me, I totally and completely accept myself.
Even though I am so afraid of being powerful and think playing small will do, I completely forgive, love and accept myself.

(Repeat variations as needed.)
Breath deep and let it go. Re-read Marrianne quote and scan your body and give the fear an intensity rating of 1-10.
Now start tapping again.
I no longer need to play small because I know who I really am.
I no longer need to hide my light because I am light.
I no longer need to be a victim because I am powerful. I am boosting self esteem by remembering who I really am.
Repeat as needed. Take a deep cleansing breath. Take a drink of water.
Boosting Self Esteem Through Giving
We have many wounds that need to be healed this way. Many insecurities are removed and your psyche is reborn. The automatic reaction to forgiving your self and others is looking for a way to give back to the world.
Meditate and contemplate the question of who in this world is hurting and how can I help? Creating a light filled endeavor will make boosting your self esteem very meaningful. Become the light in all you say and do. Giving out of a full heart will heal yourself and the world.
Make an intention to express yourself in a creative way.
Figure out how to create value in your work over and above what you are paid to do.
You could start a website or blog to express who you really are. Need help?
Now as you go about your daily activities spread the loving presence that you are, everywhere.
Boosting your self esteem in the process will build your confidence first.
