Building Self-Esteem in Women

Building Self-Esteem in women has become a joyful, daily experience in my classes. When I am given one of those moments of enlightened success and peak performance, I do realize why I am still teaching. Building Self-Esteem and Self-Awareness in my students is of crucial importance. Read on, please. “Thank you, teacher, you gave me the courage to live my self-esteem.” Tears started rolling down her face. Of course, I also began to cry, as did nearly everybody else around my desk. Come to find out, the day before, she had found the courage through her enhanced high self-esteem to stand up to her husband. To my astonishment, she had been building and enhancing her Self-Esteem to peak performance. I was in awe and speechless. Was this really the quiet and timid woman with low self-esteem that I had come to know? Maria attended class regularly not only to learn English, but also to boost her self-esteem. She studied diligently and progressed, albeit slowly. I encouraged her to also practice self-esteem mediation at home. One morning during our daily self-esteem motivation meditations, a tear rolled down her cheek. I walked toward her and put my hand softly on her shoulder. In an instant, she grabbed my hand and held it for a long time. That day after class, she confided in me about her abusive husband. To enhance her own Self-Esteem she had, on a daily basis, focused on a variety of self-esteem worksheets, self-determination lessons, and affirmations to increase self-esteem. She wanted to learn to love and respect herself. About four weeks into the daily self-esteem lessons and practices, Maria came to class just a few minutes late. We looked at a young woman stunningly dressed, with the brightest smile and wearing impeccable make-up. Was this the same woman? Did my gentle praise, or the words ‘I am loved and lovable’ during meditations bring this change about? Or were my many short and whispered ‘you can and don’t let anyone tell you differently’ remarks help manifest this inner self-esteem power? When this young woman stood before me and said, ‘thank you teacher’ that morning, I knew that the simple, steady self-esteem lessons where a powerful tool.She was radiating Self-Esteem, happiness, and self-confidence. She shared her experience with the whole class. She told us that for weeks, she had stood in front of her bathroom mirror and repeated loudly to herself that she is intelligent, beautiful, loved, and lovable. I realized that she had done this in the same manner I have introduced it to my class. Maria has fully embraced her Self and the newly found positive image of herself. Because of her strong belief in the daily Self-Esteem lessons in class, she had found the strength to building self-esteem to peak performance.
