Meditation: Good For Your Self-Esteem, Confidence, and More
Like most meditation teachers, I had a regular personal meditation practice for several years before I became a teacher. The truth is I don’t remember exactly what prompted me to sit down and meditate that first time, but I do know what kept me doing it: the difference it made for me.
After two really bad relationships and several that just didn’t work out, getting laid off from multiple jobs, and even having to give up the beautiful home my parents had helped me build, my confidence and self-esteem were pretty much non-existent. I felt like it was all my fault. Even the things that weren’t my fault (like being laid off, because in both instances it had nothing to do with me or my work, it was simply a matter of budget cuts and my lack of seniority), I blamed myself.
Meditation allowed me to see reality and get past blaming myself. It helped me rebuild my self-esteem and confidence and find new paths for my life.
It can do that for you, too. Keep reading to learn how.
