I know having my Master tell me everyday that I am a beautiful, sexy woman has made me believe it, even though I did not think this way a year ago!

Good luck and take things one day , one moment at a time.



There are endless way to boost self esteem.

I think you are right on aussiegirl! After you see how your friends see you, perhaps the big leap to feeling really good is believing that you are all good, not just believing that you are all good in other people's view.

That is when the light in you will shine for you.

I tried sincerely to kill myself once, I went to hang and was not good enough with knots...well, not versed enough with binding to achieve the result, somehow (thank goodness) I started to swing and black out and realized, like a electric shock, I wanted to live! I fought and tore myself from the blackness of suicide...it is not so easy to do...

Now I have a full, very happy life. I am happy with my man, but this is new. I was happy alone when I met him. Life is not always smooth, but I like me. If I do not like something I am doing I change it. All I own are my choices and my self identity. These are the two things that cannot be taken from me...a Blackfoot saying, the only things a man truly owns are his choices and his name (I interpret this as self identity) These can never be lost or stolen...

I have been consciously working on this for years.

Consciously, this is key.

Focus you mind on really liking yourself, overcome this dark demon, and you will find help and inspiration coming from many directions. Then things get really fucking fun...the energy of life will course though you and you will feel more...boundless...figuratively speaking.

Beswitchingly Positive
