ADDITIONAL PIECES TO READ, WATCH
PIECES CONTAINING ADDITIONAL WISDOM AND/OR PERPSECTIVES
These are articles that are or are based on Barksdale's works. Additional articles on the subject area are linked to the master site: Contents/Links For Self-Esteem And Confidence. I've inserted a few non-Barksdale pieces I thought would be useful - they are in brackets: [ ].
"If you are to take charge of your life, you must be conscious of your thoughts and mental images, for all action is preceded by a thought and an image, conscious or not." L.S. Barksdale
To make this the easiest, just read these straight through, in order - and then complete the implementation of the program.
Many of these will pop over to the master Life Management Alliance site. Use the back button to go back, preferably.
PROGRAM FOR
BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM
Remember that learning about how we operate is essential to being able to build something that works! Use the free books to get the full picture or do the summary readings sequence!
Procedure For Building Sound Self-Esteem - Just follow the procedure! It works!
See and read the reading sequence in the
side bar of this page.
The Direct Action Program - The Third Step - Consciously generating positive feelings and providing a new life style that generates, nourishes, and maintains sound self-esteem.
[See also: Establishing A Firm Foundation For Your Life - The "Secret" To Achieving Enduring Happiness - As far as I can tell, this is absolutely required to attain true happiness - i.e., there is no other way!]
THE REALITIES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
The Realities Of Human Behavior - If you don't know these basics of life, you'll be stuck in the mire of trying unsuccessfully to change your beliefs.
The Realities Of Human Behavior Part II - You cannot be happy without knowing these.
The Human Behavior Process Diagram - The essential understanding of lack of fault for your current awareness - and then to apply it to changing that awareness. Word document for the more complex document: Barksdale Human Behavior Diagram.
"SELF-CONVERSATIONS"
AND "AFFIRMATIONS"
Do these! Until they are completely installed. It will make a huge difference in one's happiness!
Basic Daily Affirmations For Sound Self Esteem - The core ones to practice, repeat, repeat.
Basic Affirmations Of Human Behavior -They are about you and very essential to your self-esteem.
Affirmations: Realities Of Existence - I Feel Warm And Loving Toward Myself... - The grand basic affirmation and then groups of five affirmations at a time to repeat until fully installed.
PERPETUATING LOW SELF ESTEEM
SPOTTING THIS AND REVERSING IT!
Eighteen Ways Of Perpetuating Low Self-Esteem - Are you doing any of these? Probably. So, stop. (Also, see Tests To Take.)
During the time one focuses on anything involving feeling low self esteem, one needlessly experiences the pain involved (although nothing has really happened!)! And one grooves it into the neural pathways in the brain, as that is an automatic mechanical product of repeating anything. [See also Releasing Yourself From "The Story".]
False And Destructive Concepts Of Human Behavior - These 16 items dispel the cultural conditioning that holds us in the destructive mode. Destroy any false beliefs related to these!
The Primary Un-Realities Of Human Behavior - What prevents us from accepting ourselves totally and unconditionally?
Deducing The Seven Basic Observable Realities Of Human Behavior - Addresses and refutes each of the un-realities.
Now it is relatively easy to understand and accept the Basic Observable Realities of Human Behavior intellectually; however, it is quite a different thing to internalize them at a non-conscious level of your Awareness so that you automatically act and react in accord with them. Do "the work" to replace them, including the affirmations (see the separate box, to the right and above).
ELIMINATING CRITICISM AND JUDGING
The Insanity Of Value Judging - The source of your own problems and any problems with people.
Evidence Of A Slipped Self-Esteem - Checkup up regularly - and correct the situation!
FROM MAIN SITE:
You cannot have high self-esteem until you learn [No Fault] - and learn how never to criticize yourself or others again.
