Tip 2 Practice The Art Of Good Deeds, Good
Find's Good.“Goodness Is The Only Investment That Never Fails” Thoreau

Many of us, lose track of feeling good about ourselves, because we lead busy demanding lifestyles. Some of us are that busy doing things for others that we end up feeling burnt out an unappreciated. Some of us, are that busy trying to meet a deadline or finish a project, that we lose valuable time with family and friends. Then there are some of us, who are so burdened with current worries, problems, and setbacks, that we seem to lack in appreciation of ourselves and who we really are.

Self esteem can reach different points in different areas of our lives, and is a very internal concept. By this I mean that we might try hard to create an image of ourselves as having great esteem, when really inside we are aware of quite the contrary. Take for example a look at our Hollywood stars, or indeed our great British pop idols. In this current age of multi media, some of us actually find entertainment in noticing the unhappiness in these rich successful stars. The truth is, self esteem has nothing to do with what we have physically, or materially, but is more to do with what is going on in our hearts and minds.

If you want to start feeling good in your life START BY INWARDLY CREATING SOME GOOD THINGS YOU CAN DO IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE AS FROM TODAY! THEN ACT ON THESE IDEAS.
I don't want this to sound daunting, or too much like hard work, and, I'm not asking you to become a miracle worker. To embark on this new mini project, we simply set ourselves some small achievable tasks which hold the same end result YOU WILL FEEL GOOD!

Here is what I did when I embarked on this mini project for the first time. I was reluctant to to try it, but believe me the end result was amazing. My self esteem went 'through the roof' and I felt great.

 

My Plan was as follows. . . . please create your own. Three good things a day will suffice (oh. . . and don't tell anybody about your good deeds!)

Ï Exchange greetings with a stranger, comment on what a beautiful day it is Ï Pay a friend/colleague a compliment on how well they look today (and mean it) Ï Take a bag of goods to a local charity shop and don't tell anyone (this is important) Ï Pick litter up on the local play area where my son plays regularly
Ï Empathize with the lady in the shop who is going through a rocky divorce Ï Congratulate the next door neighbor who just found a job.
Ï Smile at passer by who you find particularly attractive.

Please, only see my action plan as something I needed to do to create some 'goodness' in my life, the idea is for you to recognize that you can incorporate small and simple things into your own life, to create inner feelings of self worth. It can be as simple as offering a warm smile to a passer by, thanking a shopkeeper for a kind service, or picking up the phone and telling a distant relative that you miss them. Start now creating goodness! And enjoy the results. And. . . . remember to tap into your subconscious mind, by becoming relaxed and asking it to provide you with the means to create new ideas around 'good' things.
