The Core Beliefs That Plague Women
As girls are growing up, their parents and culture teach them how to be. Most girls get the message that they’re supposed to be and act in certain ways. Many of these messages encourage girls to be “less than.” In many ways, girls are taught to have low self-esteem as part of their personality. Which of These Do You Remember Hearing? • Don’t be too smart or boys won’t like you. • Don’t get your dress dirty! It’s better to sit in that chair like a good little girl. • You need to be well-mannered. • Don’t speak up because you might hurt other people’s feelings.

***The 6 Stages of Overcoming Bad Habits
In the 1970s, Dr. James Prochaska and colleagues at the University of Rhode Island developed a model on the process of changing from bad habits to good ones. They identified six stages that people go through in this process. Generally, people don’t go through these stages in a linear fashion. People who successfully change their bad habits move forward into the next stage, then back to a previous stage, then forward to the next stage as their commitment becomes stronger. They may do this one or more times before breaking the habit once and for all.

***How Core Beliefs Run Your Life - For Good or Bad
Most people begin their journey into low self-confidence in their childhood. Our early environments affect us deeply, and we take in the messages we receive. As we hear these same messages over and over again, they take shape in our minds, and over time they form our core beliefs about ourselves. What Core Beliefs Are Your core beliefs can be formed by the messages you hear from many people - your parents, other adults in your life, and other children you are around, including your brothers and sisters, your cousins, your neighbors, your playmates, and your schoolmates.

The Ultimate Guide to Creating New Friendships, Part 1
Studies have found that having friends is one of the most important contributions to having a happy and healthy life. Forming friendships isn’t difficult, but it does take some effort. Friendships Come in All Shapes and Sizes Some friends we know from childhood are with us our entire lives. Others come into our lives for a short time, and our lives are enhanced.

***Eliminate Your Passive Language - Tag Questions and Qualifiers
Passive people give away their passivity with the type of language they use. Their words tell others that they don’t think very highly of themselves and that they need others’ approval. This type of language takes away their power. De-emphasizers are methods of using speech so that passive people feel safe. If others disagree with what they have to say, they can change what they’ve said to agree with the other person. These de-emphasizers undermine what passive people say and make them look weak.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Vivian Harte
Your sense of self-esteem and self-confidence is a mind-set that you hold within yourself about who you truly are. It affects every part of your life. In order to get the most from your life, your self-esteem and self-confidence need to be strong enough to enable you to do what you want and be the person you desire to be. Building your self-esteem and self-confidence is a personal journey to understanding yourself and the value you bring to the world.
This dynamic path of self-discovery includes understanding, affirming and owning your personal power. Real self-esteem and self-confidence come from an inner knowing that you are competent, self-assured, and worthy of a good life. It's recognizing that you can accomplish what you desire to do and be, that you have the ability to be successful in relationships, and that you are happy with who you are. Come join me in developing strong self-esteem and self-confidence so that you can live the life of your dreams.
