JG,
I still have many a day when I struggle with self-worth issues. Most of the time I bring all that stuff on myself, allowing the little critic that lives in my head to have her say. She's really not very nice at all. And she's rather fond of calling me an idiot.
Improving self-esteem is a learned process. I have some positive affirmation audio tapes that help to get me moving in the right direction. They use the affirmations and guided imagery.
JG, I think you are a wonderful person who deserves to have happiness and joy in her life. Now, let's get you thinking that way, shall we?
Hugs, hugs and more hugs.
Peace,
Gabe
