Overcoming Low Self-Esteem with Mindfulness

Author(s): Deborah Ward

Self-Esteem/Confidence

Low self-esteem affects every aspect of our lives, from our career choices to our relationships, creating a life that leaves us feeling unaccepted and unfulfilled. When we feel that we are not good enough, we may avoid work and social opportunities and settle for less than we deserve. Overcoming Low Self-esteem with Mindfulness looks at how mindfulness can help us to wake up from the bad dream of negative thinking and see where our own thoughts, beliefs and reactions have led to poor choices. With a strong focus on the latest mindfulness studies, this book shows how to clear mental clutter and see the truth of who we are so that we can make healthy choices for ourselves.
