#29: How to Build Self Esteem and Become More Solid by Digging into our Shadow

I propose that most people in modern society are trapped in an “esteem circus”: a constant loop of trying to perform in order to receive validation, to shore up low self-esteem.

In this episode, I discuss the concept of real esteem and how it differs from the esteem circus that is prevalent in our society. 

Real esteem is characterized by solidity, reliability, and a natural happiness that radiates from within. It is not based on external validation or material possessions. 

Cultivating real esteem involves clearing out repressed pain and filling oneself up with one's own energy. We must face our worthlessness and dig through the layers of pain, in order to recognize our true nature and find deeper solidity.

Enjoy,

Peace, Power.
