The Day One Fell, But Got Up Stronger

The Day One Fell, But Got Up Stronger

Strength

What type of strength do you think is the word referring to? What comes to your mind, I guess is some muscular person. Well, this is one type, there is always more than one type of strengths in life, which you may possess.

I am weak, but not powerless!

You may get taunted by people around you all day, saying, that individual is better in looks, and so many various ways of comparison. But, you are not totally wiped out, there is a strength you have, it is just unused, till now.

A purpose, in living.

You are not alive for no reason, you are not going to live for nothing. The simple act of motivation on you works wonders. You heard of this great man: Nick Vujicic?


Nick Vujicic

He tells you to live with a purpose, and when it is confirmed, you will feel the commitment in your life. Just like me, Lance Armstrong says he believe in like, not death! The lack of belief in yourself is self destruction. And a lack of motivation is doing everything the same way again. Make mistakes you made before, and live without improvements.

Life is tough. I agree

But that does not give you a mandate to fall back and not transcend yourself in your life. I agree life is tough, but many people do not even know I am fighting cancer. And studying to get a diploma. Yes, you and I cry, but the tears must stop after some time.

Getting drunk makes one forget problems, but not solve them. So the issue does not change, in fact, the sober person is now suffering from a 'hang over', which makes problem solving very tough.

The will to be strong

So, the only thing one has to do is believe in yourself, do what you know is right. which means, be a law abiding person and positive in the journey ahead, a life long journey.

Boost Your Child's Self-Esteem
By Deanna Mascle

Many people have a strong opinion on the importance of self-esteem in children. Some people have a negative opinion and believe too much emphasis is placed on self-esteem today. Other's believe strongly that self-esteem development is crucial in children.

The truth is that both parties have a share in the truth. There is probably too much emphasis on self-esteem today and self-esteem development is crucial. However middle ground can be found between the two groups. The emphasis shouldn't be on building self-esteem but rather helping children learn and grow so they naturally develop a feeling of worth and value.

Self-esteem is a major key to success in life. The development of a positive self-concept or healthy self-esteem is extremely important to the happiness and success of children.

Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves, and our behavior clearly reflects those feelings. If you child has high self-esteem she is likely to act independently, assume responsibility, take pride in her accomplishments, tolerate frustration, attempt new tasks and challenges, handle positive and negative emotions, and offer assistance to others. If your child has low self-esteem he will avoid trying new things, feel unloved and unwanted, blame others for his own shortcomings, feel (or pretend to feel) emotionally indifferent, be unable to tolerate a normal level of frustration, put down his own talents and abilities, and be easily influenced.

Parents have the most influence on their child's self-esteem. Most parents do not realize how great an impact their words and actions have on their child.

Be Quick With Praise

When you feel good about your child, mention it to him. Parents are often quick to express negative feelings to children but often don't get around to describing positive feelings. A child doesn't know when you are feeling good about him unless you tell him. He needs to hear you tell him that you like having him in the family. Children remember positive statements we say to them. They store them up and "replay" these statements to themselves. Make a point of giving your child words of encouragement throughout each day. Look for situations in which your child is doing a good job, working hard, trying a new challenge, overcoming a difficulty or displaying a talent.

Lay It On Thick

Be generous with your praise. Use what is called descriptive praise rather than the general, such as "good job". For example, during a recent swimming lesson my son was expected to swim the length of the pool. He was frightened and didn't think he could make it. When he successfully accomplished the goal I told him I was proud of him for two things. One for trying even though he was afraid he'd fail and two for pushing himself to reach his goal.

Make Them Talk The Talk

Teach your child to practice making positive self-statements. Psychologists have found that negative self-talk is frequently the root cause of depression and anxiety. What we think determines how we feel about ourselves and those feelings determine how we behave. This is the reason it is important to teach children talk to themselves in a positive manner. You can start them off by asking directed questions.

Avoid Name Calling

While it is often important for parents to be critical, the focus should be on the action you would like to see rather than the child. Rather than calling a child a slob for keeping a messy room focus on the desired action, which is to sort clothes and toys into their proper places. Encourage the child by saying something like "I know you can get this place ship shape by dinner" and reward them with specific praise "You did a great job cleaning up your room".

Always Speak Of Your Child As If They Were Listening

Many parents do a wonderful job of building up their child's self esteem while spending time with the child. Then later they undo all their good work and let the child overhear some negative comments. It is difficult to explain away or undo this damage as you may well not even know when it occurs. Obviously parents need to communicate with each other about their children and adults often need to vent their frustrations. Just make sure when you do so that your child is not able to overhear. Even a child who is apparently concentrating on play will perk his ears when he hears his name.

If you follow these five methods then your child's self esteem will grow.
