160: Are you Fighting Yourself?

Are you falling into self-doubt spirals by beating yourself up when things don't go perfectly? You are human - it will happen. In this episode I explore the connection between self-esteem, self-doubt and this 'fighting with yourself' thing! You will go through some forensics with me - including unwrapping a real example to illustrate. It all starts with you doing a powerful visualisation involving a robot!   I quote from the classic book on Self-esteem - The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden. I also refer you to other episodes - especially this one: 155 - Manage your negative self talk with this mind trick.   For more on 'unsquashing' your self belief - check out my TEDx talk 'The Self Squashing Prophecy' and my book 'The Mystery of the Squashed Self'.
