I'M certainly going to have to work on my self-esteem.Just when I start to feel good about myself, someone will come along and burst my little bubble of feel-good. I'm going to have to find a way to toughen it up.

When you catch yourself saying something critical to yourself, stop, turn it around, and say something supportive.  You will hear that, too, and as if someone else said it.  You will also absorb it as if someone else said it, and you’ll feel better.  Maybe more importantly, you WON’T feel BAD about it.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.empowher.com/news/herarticle/2009/07/03/comfort-liking-yourself"><P>After all, you are always there in your times of need.
