Self Esteem

Self-Esteem


What is the balance between low self-esteem and a normal healthy self-esteem? While it seems some people are overly confident it may be of benefit in reaching their goals and having the strength to take great strides in life; however, a person with low self-esteem is limited and in some cases thus becomes an "emotional cripple."

It is a fact that in childhood upbringing the accumulative experiences that are crucial towards a child's early development can be in some children's circumstances traumatising and can damage the individuals self-esteem throughout his/her entire life.

Is there any cure for low self-esteem? Does therapy really help? How hard is it to believe in yourself? A thoughtful and provoking idea that could perhaps provide an answer? In psychology the basic fundamental principle of self-esteem is the result of a  "balanced mind". Though what happens when we experience episodes of self-esteem be it high or low that is unbalanced?

What exactly is an exemplar of self-esteem? All our experiences throughout life become molded and shaped into the individuals that we become. It is difficult for people who have encountered an abusive upbringing or any abusive episodes that has occurred throughout the course of his/her life.

When dealing with victims of abuse is it possible to heal the psychological damage? Therapy in some cases is successful though it varies depending on the individual.

1. You need to be ready
2. You may need to explore in finding the right therapist
3. When you are willing to work on becoming whole progress has begun.


Types of therapy:

Counselling
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Psychotherapy
Group Therapy

Summary:

In more ways than one if you seek help you are on the road to self-improvement. This may seem to be a challenging task at first; though it is well worth the effort in the long-term in sustaining a happy and well-balanced sense of self.

Fast Walkers

Have you seen them walking down the street,
those fast walkers I'm sure you don't want to meet.

Those fast walkers are fast talkers,

and do things you won't want to see.

See them smile see them gleam,
see them scream.

See them play their fancies

for any fools dream.

Oh they're smart,

oh they're fast, oh they last.

Fast walkers will live anybody's dream.


Oh when the day comes into play,
fast walkers will take their prey.

Oh they're fast and they last,
fast walkers do know their task.

If you happen to come by a fast walker,
run, run with all your might,
for fast walkers will spin
their craft with a mask.

Do not be led if you were to come across
a so-called  trusted friend,

as they could also be
a fast walker!

Oh they're fast and they last
without a fast.

Fast walkers are a wicked man's dream...

Nocturnal Voice

The mystery of your voice haunts me
as it echoes through the empty silence.

Deep dark penetrating eyes that pierce the night,
with wings that quickly glide your presence,
shifting smoothly with each stride.

When I look into your eyes,
I see the wisdom and power 
you possess.                                            

Silent wings of the night,
voice that shadow's the moon light,
with eyes that see throughout the soul.

Nocturnal voice of the night,
guide me through until the
breaking of the dawn light.

A Darkened Night




The night was sticky and humid, it was close to 2-00am. The fan was droning in the background yet, I hardly felt any relief. That was the problem with the old flat the harsh sun had begun to rise upon the roof, and by late afternoon the temperature was scoring high that heated the apartment to an unbearable heat similar to an inferno.

Feeling oppressed by the hot humid weather I thought of going outside on the balcony to escape the balmy atmosphere of the small apartment. When suddenly a bright flashing light come flooding into my bedroom window. Blinded by the flash at first glance my eyes closed fast. While readjusting my eyes to look around the room, I was startled by a strange flickering glow.

Within the shadow of the glowing light was the silhouette of two strange figures walking towards me. The light dimmed and a voice echoed eerily inside my mind that was not in English. It was a language that I could not decipher.

A heaviness fell upon my mind that overpowered me in falling into a deep sleep. The next morning I awoke early with all the details of the night vividly projecting each scene throughout my mind like a movie. Feeling dazed I gazed at the balcony door and was further disturbed at the sight of it being wide open. Something I had always made sure of was to never leave the balcony door unlocked before going to sleep. Not being able to make sense of it all, the memories were left aside.

Several years later since this night, there are moments that I do question of what may of actually occurred. The vague dreams that leap forth of the flashing visions, odd voices and dark strange lurking shadows from long ago still haunt my mind.
