Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
1. Living Consciously: The practice of being aware
of what one is doing while one is doing it; or, mindfulness.
2. Accept Yourself: The practice of owning truths regarding one's
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; of being kind toward oneself with respect to
them; and of being "for" oneself in a
basic sense.
3. Take Responsibility for Your Experiences: The practice of owning one's
authorship of one's actions and of owning one's capacity to be the cause of the effects one desires.
4. Assert Who You Are: the practice of treating one's needs and interests
with respect and of expressing them in appropriate ways.
5. Live Purposely: The practice of formulating goals and of formulating
and implementing action plans to achieve them.
6. Maintain Your Integrity: The practice of maintaining alignment between
one’s behaviors and convictions.
