Are You Tired of Feeling Lousy About Yourself and Like You’re Standing Still in Life?

Do you sometimes feel like you can’t ask for what you truly want or say no because you fear being rejected?

Did you ever have an opportunity that you didn’t go for because you didn’t feel like you could do it?

No matter how well you do things at work or in school do you still feel like you’re not good enough?

Do you see yourself as someone who couldn’t have - or don’t deserve - success in the most important areas of life like love, health or your career?

And do you feel like you haven't lived up to your potential yet and are quite often discouraged by what you've accomplished in life so far?

Well, being in such a place isn't uncommon.

I used to be there for many years.

And it was no fun.

I Was Stuck Between Low Self-Esteem and Daydreams About How My Life Could Be…

Let me tell you a little bit about my story. I think it’s a pretty common one.

I didn’t have atrociously bad self-esteem but I was down on myself quite a lot during my teens and early twenties.

I didn’t feel like I deserved all that much.

So I held myself back from the success I wanted. I self-sabotaged (often before I had hardly begun). In love, with my health and with going for the opportunities and dreams I had.

This went on for too many years. Until one day when I had enough of feeling like this about myself. And of always just standing still and stuck in daydreams about what could be.

Something just had to change.

So I went to work to figure out how I could raise my own self-esteem.

I wanted to figure out the practical steps I could take. The habits and routines of people with high self-esteem and the best strategies and exercises that I could use to take me there.

I wanted what actually worked in reality and in the long-term (so I wouldn’t be right back where I started a few weeks or months later).

Now, it took me several years to do that.

But in the end I created my own mental toolbox for feeling good about myself and to keep my self-esteem up and keep going for what I deep down want.

Even in the face of setbacks, rejection or negativity from other people.

And without this inner change I would most likely not had:

  • Dared to believe in myself and my own business idea. And so I went from working on a small hobby experiment called The Positivity Blog – back when no-one even knew what a blog was or that you could make a living online – a few nights a week to shaping it into the solid full-time business that it is today.
  • Lost 26 pounds and gotten in shape. I wanted to feel better. So I ate more. And gained plenty of weight. With better self-esteem I finally started to question this. I felt that I deserved more and needed to treat myself better. So during 4 months I lost 26 pounds and got into way better shape. A shape I still maintain to this day.
  • Met my wonderful wife. I simply didn’t date for several years in my twenties. Not until I started to improve my self-esteem and I started to feel more deserving. That lead to many dates and finally to one cold and dark winter evening when I met my wife. And I honestly think that if I hadn’t done this inner work then I wouldn't have had a chance with such a great woman. Or not self-sabotaged my way out of it along our so far 7 year long journey together.

Now, just to get going with this inner change took me quite some time. But the truth is that there’s a way to get started on this path today…

3 Common and Destructive Myths About Self-Esteem

Improving self-esteem is not just something that is close to my heart because it's made a huge difference in my own life.

Another reason is that every month I hear from readers and read in the papers how low self-esteem is dragging people down and restricting their lives.

And a third - and a more frustrating - reason is that I’ve over the years discovered myths and misconceptions that mislead and hold people back from making this change in their own lives.

Let me share 3 of the most common ones.

Myth #1: You’re either born with or you’re not.

This is a myth that I’ve heard hundreds of times and that held me back for many years.

I simply thought that things were set in stone when it came to more abstract areas of self-improvement like self-esteem and self-confidence. And that was all there was to it.

I later learned that yes, some people get a head-start on this in life. But also that we all have big, big room to improve.

Myth #2: You have to jump in with both feet in one courageous leap.

And you have to take massive action for anything to change about your self-esteem.

This myth makes things uncomfortable.

And it makes many back down and stay still because making that change seems too scary or like something only a few courageous people could do.

But that's simply not the truth. You can take it step by step. And small steps that you actually take make a world of difference compared to grandiose dreams that just stay daydreams.

Yes, you have to sometimes go deep and get to know yourself better to improve your self-esteem.

But you can do it one step at a time. And take a small step when you need to. That’s OK.

Myth #3: “You just have to love yourself.”

Sometimes when people say this then it’s certainly well meaning.

But I think that a lot of the time it’s just empty platitudes or someone trying to sell very vague advice when they say something like that.

And when you try to apply something like that or another old favorite like “just be yourself!” to your life you get frustrated and feel like you’ve wasted your time and nothing will change.

Introducing The Self-Esteem Course

A Simple and Practical Step-by-Step Program

The Self-Esteem Course is a digital and downloadable 12-week course.

It will give you the same exact tools, exercises and strategies that helped me to finally change my self-esteem and life.

Many of the strategies and exercises in this course are things I’ve never even mentioned on The Positivity Blog or in the Positivity Newsletter before.

Here's what you'll get each week:

  • The written guide. This guide includes a section with just a few easy-to-follow action-steps to take that week. This is to make sure that things stay practical and that you move forward and make progress (even if it may sometimes be by just taking one or a few small steps).
  • The audio version of the written guide. An audio session that you can listen to in your car, on the bus, while taking a walk or whenever you have the time (or need a boost during your day).
  • A worksheet. You’ll also get a worksheet each week where I’ll share the powerful exercises that helped me to understand myself and my self-esteem better and that’ll help you to apply what you learn to your specific situation and life.

"I joined Self-Esteem Course at a time of hardship and struggle.

I’d hit the biggest bump of my entire life and didn’t know how to get out of the rut, but slowly, by listening to the lessons and filling out the worksheets, I learned to talk back to my inner critic and find healthier ways to handle my feelings.

I’ve retained all the lessons from that difficult time and my life is far happier and richer for it."

- Sarah Moore, course participant.

Doing so has brought on lots of positive changes in my life.”

Saffeya H, course participant.

“Your course helped me to realize that I needed to be nicer to myself and that I needed to work on loving myself more and more each day. Because of you and a number of other people I was able to beat my anxiety and depression and feel good about myself.”

In this quick guide – that also comes with an audio version – I answer that question by showing you how to:

  • Use appreciation in two ways to lift your friend or family member up.

Frequently Asked Questions

"What if I fall behind?"

That is nothing you have to worry about.

This is a downloadable self-study course. So even though there are weekly guides, you can do it at your own pace and anywhere you like. And you have life-time access to the full course via the first email you receive so you can go back and review any material anytime you want.

"How much time does it take to do this course per week?"

It takes about 30-60 minutes a week to review the material and do the exercises.

And then you practice what you've learned as much as you like in your everyday life by implementing it in the situations you encounter.

So it does take some time each week. If you feel that you don’t have the time for this right now then ask yourself this question:

If you could greatly reduce your self-beatings and the time you spend on negative self-talk or on some piece of criticism someone threw at you then how much time and energy would you save for something better?

The Self-Esteem Course is NOT for you if..

  • You’re still looking for just a magic bullet. This program won’t deliver one easy thing you can do just once and then you’ll have high self-esteem for the rest of your life. It’s a course that requires work.

  • You don’t feel good about yourself or are tired of feeling stuck, but you know deep down that you can be and do more than that. In this course we’ll explore how you can change your self-talk, get a much more balanced view of yourself and step-by-step make a change from the inside and out.
  • You’ve tried unpractical or vague advice about “just loving yourself” and that didn’t work for you.

  • You’re focused on the long-term. You understand that there will be ups and downs but that you can make huge gains not just in how you feel about yourself but in many of the most important areas of your life – like love, health and money – by steadily implementing what you learn in this course.
