I learnt that my root of my low self esteem is due to my parents constant criticism and crushing me. It is also one of the reasons why I constantly need to compare myself to others in order to grade myself. That is bad for self esteem and self-confidence.

The first one is a workbook. I found it useful. The second book is also good.

Hi Noon,

I was just curious about how you fit this together with meditation.

In that case, stop trying to change yourself. Look straight into your soul and accept what you are. Accept your past and move forward.

May I just say what I do?
You don't have to.

I read everything I get my hands on to reinforce, re-program my subconscious mind...yesterday I found this small book,
"This Thing Called You" by Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of Mind.
He says what I already know...and I love hearing it in every way from every angle.

I am made of nothing but 'God stuff'...it can't be any other way.
He made my mind from His,
my body and all it's atoms filled with pure light from Him,
my soul with the same spark like a ray from the Sun Itself.

I am the princess of a King...and so are you with all privileges the children of the Creator
of the Universe have...having Him inside us.

I am wonderful, beautiful, loving, peaceful, confident, powerful
and kind...and so are you ...just like Him.

Confidence is happiness...confidence comes from knowing exactly who you are...and Who's your Daddy.

In this is freedom...and freedom is joy...forever.

Then, go inside... in stillness...make a place in your heart
for Him to come. He won't be able to stay away.

Basically it's a feeling, and those are inside you. Only you can be sure of exactly what you feel, even in the case you can't put words on it. So ultimately you can make you feel good about you. Take note of the difference in thinking and feeling, thinking you are confident when you are not is hubris. There's a certain aspect of humility to it, to think of oneself less. Personally I feel better when I don't think of myself and instead feel myself, I channel my thinking out towards all that is out there.

Who were you before you thought you knew who you were? Look deep inside, focus on it, meditate on it. You hold the key, find the door to unlock.

Forgive yourself then forgive everyone else.

As practical no one does anything morally wrong in this place.

You are still hanging onto blame, yourself and/or others.

So, as life comes up, as your timeline comes up, forgive yourself completely then forgive each person for everything.

It is that easy, and that hard but it works.
