Tip 97 Focus on Self-Improvement
Addiction problems are often the cause of low self esteem. People who are at risk of falling into addictive behavior due to this low self esteem need to find things that improve the way they feel about themselves. Some of the activities that promote good self esteem include:
Reading motivational material
Listening to tapes that have self help messages
Watch movies and television programs that are inspiring
Learn how to set goals and work towards them
Learn how to become more responsible by taking workshops.
One of the most important and beneficial concepts that you can adopt is believing in yourself. When you have the inner confidence that tells you that what youre doing is the right thing you can reach any goals that you set for yourself. When you have this belief youll see your road to recovery broaden as well as notice the changes in your personal life.
When you believe in yourself you can accomplish not only the achievements that youve already defined for yourself, you can achieve those as yet unrecognized goals. When you have a strong personal belief system youll approach every area of your life with confidence and assurance. Youll instinctively be able to deal with any situation that comes along in both your personal and your professional life.
One of the ways that you can determine how much personal and business balance you have in your life is by taking a look at the wheel of life. The wheel of life lets you use a balanced life chart that asks you specific questions about the areas of your life where you are most active. Based on your score you can determine how balanced your life is. There are eight categories of the wheel of life that include
(1) Social,
(2) Spiritual,
(3) Physical,
(4) Family,
(5) Financial,
(6) Professional,
(7) Community, and
(8) Mental.
Youll be able to find out if your life is in balance or if there are parts of your own life wheel that need balancing. |
