The Practice of Living Consciously - The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden

In this video my goal is to explain what Consciousness is and why it is the most important thing you can do to grow your Self-Esteem – but also why a high level of consciousness and Self-esteem is so incredibly important if you truly want to live a great life. “Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.” READ FULL TEXT HERE: http://alexandernilsson.nu/the-six-pi... -------------------------------------- Watch all my 8 weeks of Rejection Therapy: Week 1:    • Building Self-Esteem with Rejection Therap...   Week 2:    • Building Self-Esteem with Rejection Therap...   Week 3:    • Building Self-Esteem with Rejection Therap...   Week 4:    • Building Self-Esteem with Rejection Therap...   Week 5:    • Rejection Therapy Week 5 - How to Embrace ...   Week 6:    • Rejection Therapy to build Self Esteem - W...   Week 7:    • Rejection Therapy Week 7 - How to Build Se...   Week 8:    • Rejection Therapy week 8 - How to Build Se...   --------------------------------------- All this material is based on the book The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden. "Self-esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and as worthy of happiness.” (1995, Branden, p. 7) Or ih short: “Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.” “To live consciously means to seek to be aware of everything that bears on our actions, purposes, values, and goals-to the best of our ability, whatever that ability may ~and to behave in accordance with that which we see and know.” (1995, Branden, p. 69) “Why is consciousness so important? Because for all species that possess it, consciousness is the basic tool of survival-the ability to be aware of the environment in some form, at some level, and to guide action accordingly...."

The Objectives: #1 – Raising your level of consciousness Set the alarm on your phone, 5 times a day, for instance 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 as a minimum ( I do it every our every time my watch beeps ). What are you experiencing right now, how are you feeling, what emotions and thoughts are within you; good, bad, sad, enthusiastic, loneliness, hunger – and why? Is it something subconsciously that happened a while back or is what is happening in front of you at this moment that is affecting your current state. Writing a journal where you can reflect and reason with your self is SUCH A GREAT TOOL for your personal development – I can’t stress enough the power that lies within it. Here’s a very nice guide to rising your level of consciousness and being mindful:    • Mindfulness - How To Actually Practice Min...   Or a shorter alterative guide that is shorter:    • Mindfulness - How To Actually Practice Min...   #2 – Meditation Finding at least 10 minutes a day to practice meditation. Just sitting down, closing your eyes and trying to be aware; follow this Meditation For Beginners guide by Leo Gura    • Meditation For Beginners   “this is called the no manipulation technique. so try right now sit there. as you're sitting don't try...” Or a shorter alterative guide:    • Mindfulness - How To Actually Practice Min...   #3 – Sentence completion excercise Thirdly, if it’s not too much, do the sentence completion exercise as described from the book: Living consciously to me means – If I bring 5 percent more awareness to my activities today- If I pay more attention to how· I deal with people today- If I bring 5 percent more awareness to my most important relationships- If I bring 5 percent more awareness to (fill in a particular problem you are concerned about) – When you are finished, proceed with your day’s business. At the end of the day, as your last task before dinner, do six to ten endings each for the following stems: When I reflect on how I would feel if I lived more consciously- When I reflect what happens when I bring 5 percent more awareness to my activities- When I reflect on what happens when I bring 5 percent more awareness to my most important relationships- When I reflect on what happens when I bring 5 percent more awareness to (whatever you’ve filled in)- Do this exercise every day, Monday through Friday for the first week. Do not read what you wrote the day before. Naturally there will be many repetitions. But also, new endings will inevitably occur. You are energizing all of your psyche to work for you. Sometime each weekend, reread what you have written for the week, and then write a minimum of six endings for this stem: If any of what I wrote this week is true, it would be helpful if I-” That is it for this week’s challenge – good luck and commit to me in the comments if you plan to do it – it will give you an extra push to follow through when motivation is lacking! /Alexander
