Let's talk Transformation : The business leaders podcast #86 Transforming your Self Esteem with Clarissa Burt
"Fear : False Evidence Appearing Real... "
How does this dictate the way we talk to ourselves ? What else determines how we show up ? How can we regain confidence in who we are and who we were meant to be ?
Clarissa walks us through her regime for self esteem and how we can manage our habits and mental models to transform the way we feel about ourselves. Is what we think real ? How do we step away from our thoughts and reframe them differently ?
Self-esteem doesn’t discriminate; it is everything you are, everything you think and every relationship you have (including with yourself) and must be worked on continuously. Clarissa's book offers an action plan and tells stories to encourage readers to look in the mirror for a life-changing experience and be their own best advocate.
How can we build a model of sustainable change ? How can we use the 4 pillars of self esteem to constantly re-iterate on what we have learnt ? How can we set ourselves up for success in the future ?
Clarissa shares her stories, insights and approach for building a 'self esteem' muscle for our own good and for the greater good.
The main insights you'll get from this episode are :
- Self-esteem doesn’t discriminate; it is everything you are, everything you think and every relationship you have (including with yourself) and must be worked on continuously.
- Personal development is about having the tools in the shed to use when you need them – when the storm strikes, it does not uproot your tree even though you may lose a branch.
- Self-help (not shelf-help!) is big business because there is a huge need (to feel seen, heard, valued and worthy).
- The regime is one for action: to get on right path for your life and be the best version of yourself, maybe by taking the HIGH (honesty, integrity, gratitude and honour) road.
- The book offers an action plan and tells stories to encourage readers to look in the mirror for a life-changing experience and be their own best advocate.
- It espouses the power of affirmations: being responsible for creating our own purpose, vision mission and goals; for presenting well; for showing up; for acknowledging and improving our imperfections; for working to overcome our fears.
- Helping people move from ‘encowerment’ to empowerment, to move on, face everything and rise – having a regime keeps you moving forward.
- 4 pillars of self-esteem: look good (outside), feel good (inside – diet exercise, nutrition), be good (relationships, leadership, finances), greater good (volunteering, community).
- Need 5 new gratitude items every day to drive motivation and inspiration.
- Recommended actions:
· catch the negative self-talk
· drive out the daily demons
· support and reparent yourself
· go through the pain
- You are lucky to be you so love yourself!
