Self Esteem And Education

• Fear can cause you to avoid beneficial new experiences.
• Low self esteem can cause your brain to atrophy.
• Make your brain healthy by exposing yourself to new things.

When self esteem is low, people are often easily manipulated by fear. Such fears can include:

• A fear of reality.
• A fear about something done in the past.
• A fear of other peoples expectations/views.
• A fear of not being socially accepted.
• A fear of looking foolish.
• A fear of failure.
• A fear of responsibility.

All of these fears lead to low levels of self efficacy and self respect, whereby you begin to doubt your own ability to do something and may also feel that you are unworthy or undeserving of achieving it.

As was discussed in a previous article, low levels of self efficacy and self respect ultimately lead to low levels of self esteem.

Therefore in a state of low self esteem, fear can result in people who live lives filled with more pain than joy. In addition to this, fear will reinforce low self esteem, making it worse and more debilitating over time.

The affect of fear is often amplified further as typically people tend to deny, disown or repress their fears, thereby allowing fear to work in the background constantly chipping away at their life.

So in a state of fear reality becomes the enemy of self esteem. If you fear the reality about yourself and the world around you, ultimately you sabotage your basic belief in yourself and your sense of worth as a person.

If you face the challenges of life in this fear driven state you will be disadvantaged from the very beginning, as the mind does not struggle for that which it regards as impossible or undesirable.

The Opposite To Living In Fear         

If low self esteem dreads the new and unfamiliar, then high self esteem seeks new challenges and adventures.

This desire for new and challenging experiences stems from a basic belief in oneself, and a recognition that you are worthy and deserving of it.

These two opposite principles of motivation that come from low and high self esteem, serve as a good indicator to the health of your mind.

This is because a healthy mind is one that is constantly exposed to new information and experiences.

A healthy mind will allow you to think faster, understand things more easily, prevent certain brain diseases and most importantly, make you feel good about your life and the person you are.

An unhealthy mind however can lead to an inability to concentrate, a reduction in overall intelligence, brain diseases in latter life and depression.

An easy way to remember this is to think of the brain as a muscle. It becomes stronger through use, and weaker through disuse.

However it is important to remember that in order for the brain to remain strong and healthy, it must be constantly challenged with new information and activities.

This is because when you first learn how to do something, it requires a lot of brain power for you to learn how to do it.

But once you get really good at something, the brain power required to do that activity decreases. So in order to keep your brain active, you need to do a variety of new and challenging things. 

Expanding Your Mind

Now that you know a little bit about how to keep the brain healthy, can you see how high self esteem results in a healthy mind?

If you are motivated by confidence in your abilities and therefore desire new challenges and experiences, then your mind will constantly be exposed to new things that will keep it active and healthy.

You can see this in elderly people. Those who keep themselves active in old age and perform a variety of tasks tend to be healthier, live longer and have a more positive outlook on life than elderly people who watch TV all day and have little to do.

As you might have already guessed, by exposing yourself to new experiences and keeping your brain healthy, this acts as self reinforcing cycle positively impacting your self esteem. Whereby the healthier your brain is, the better you will feel about yourself.

Shrinking Your Brain

However, when a person is motivated by fear they tend to avoid new experiences and challenges, preferring to stay with the old and familiar. Typically these people don’t like to “rock the boat” and prefer to “play it safe” in life.

This state of fear ultimately leads to a brain that is in decline. In other words, an unhealthy brain which is becoming weaker and weaker with each passing day.

As with high self esteem, this will act as a self reinforcing cycle making you feel worse about yourself and your life.

Here are some quick questions you can ask to determine whether your brain is in an actively growing state, or is in a state of decline.

Remember to be honest and avoid the temptation to deny, disown or repress any fears these questions may cause in you.

• When was the last time you learnt a new skill?
• Do prefer doing things you already know about/comfortable with?
• When was the last time you went somewhere you have never been before?
• Are you constantly challenged with new activities every day, or every week?
• Does your job provide you with a variety of things to do?
• Do you meet new people on a regular basis, or do only mix with certain people?
• Do you have any hobbies?
• Does your life follow the same daily routine?
• Do you mainly watch TV, play computer games or read?

If after answering the questions above you feel that your brain is in a declining state, don’t worry! This can easily be reversed simply by using your brain!

So lets get down to specifics and see what you can do to improve the health of your brain. However before we do that, let’s take a closer look at the brain so you can understand what happens when the brain is in an actively growing state.

Note : The article below talks about how low self esteem can shrink your brain.

“Low Self Esteem Shrinks Brain“

Growing The Brain With Self Esteem

Inside your brain are specialised brain cells called neurons. These cells are responsible for transmitting information via electrical and chemical impulses. They allow you to think, and they allow you to learn.

Each neuron is shaped like a tree. It has a long stem, a rounded head on top and “branch” like projections called dendrites that originate from the head. You have billions of these brain cells.

The neuronal dendrites are what we are interested in, because they can serve as one indication to how healthy a neuron is and therefore how healthy your brain is.

This is because when a neuron becomes stimulated (i.e. exposed to new information, activities, experiences etc…) it forms new and more complex dendrites. You can see an example of this in the picture below.

As you can see, the stimulated neuron has lots of dendrites branching out from it. However the unstimulated neuron has very few. 

When I was studying neurology at university, I read about an experiment that was done on rats which showed the effect of external stimulation on brain activity and health.

In this experiment one rat was placed in a cage with nothing inside of it. The other rat was placed in a cage which had various toys and an exercise wheel.

When the experimenters looked at the rat’s brains after the experiment, they found that the rat which had the toys and exercise wheel had a brain that looked like the stimulated neuron in the picture above. 

And the rat that was put in the empty cage, had a brain that looked like the unstimulated neuron.

Now apply this principle to yourself. Whilst you may not be locked up in an empty cage, think about how much new stimulation your brain is getting on a daily or weekly basis?

Remember, it has to be new stimulation for the brain to be actively growing. What do you think your neurons look like?

Start Growing Your Brain Right Now!

Learning new information really does make your brain grow. By learning new things your neuronal dendrites will increase in number, and make more complex connections throughout your brain.

If this information about the brain has been new to you, or unfamiliar, then just by reading this article you have already made your brain grow!

Here are some other things you can do to exercise and make your brain grow right now:

Use The Computer Mouse With The Other Hand.

Have you ever noticed how you can navigate around the Internet using the mouse so easily? Probably not. 

This is because you are used to using the mouse with your dominant hand, and so do it without really thinking about it. This requires little brain power to do.

But if you switch hands, your brain has to activate new muscles to move the mouse and so requires more brain power. Try it now and see how easy it is to navigate around this page using your other hand.

Read This Article Out Loud

Reading something out loud requires lots of brain power, and is very good exercise for the brain. It doesn’t matter how loud you read it, so its ok if you just mutter under your breath.

Do Some Maths

Doing simple maths problems is also excellent exercise for the brain. Answer these questions as quickly as you can in your head.

14+9=?
33+12=?
7+52=?
99+13=?
77+18=?

118-45=
21-7=
69-24=
99-17=
19-14=

√24534.345 /  345.67 = ?

Leave a brief summary about this article in the comments below. This will test your memory, ability to understand and interpret information and your communication skills.

Split Your Brain

Using your left hand pat yourself on the head, whilst at the same time rubbing your stomach in a circle with your right hand.

Whilst doing this move your knees up and down one at a time, as if you were a solider marching and move your tongue from side to side in your mouth.

Now repeat this, but this time use your right hand to pat your head, and left hand to rub your stomach.

This activity will test your ability to do several different things at once. How well can your brain multitask?

Remember The Pictures

Don’t cheat on this one! Try to remember and visualise all the pictures you have seen in this article so far. This will test your observation skills, memory and ability to visualise images.

How Was Your Brain Workout?

I hope you did all the exercises! These simple exercises will activate different areas of your brain, which is important because the brain is divided into several regions.

Each of these regions are responsible for doing a certain type of activity. So by doing these exercises you get a total brain workout!

How do you know if your brain needs more work in a particular area? Simple. You will find a certain activity hard to do, and will probably not want to do it.

When you find something hard to do, this indicates a lack of development in the area of the brain required to do that activity.

So to grow your brain, become good doing the things you find hard to do. When you become good at them, move onto something else.

Stop Living In Fear!

If you want to improve your self esteem you need to stop living in fear, and letting it control and restrict the things you do in life. Otherwise your brain will end up looking like the rats brain who stayed in the empty cage!

So to improve your self esteem, and the health of your brain, start doing new and challenging things. This doesn’t have to be anything dramatic like travelling across the world, it can be small things you do differently on a daily basis.

For example, taking a different route home. Getting dressed with your eyes closed. Brushing your teeth with your weaker hand. Use your imagination, there are a million things you can do differently!

Even thinking about new things to do differently is good brain exercise, because it improves your ability to think creatively!

All of the suggestions in this article are things that you can do for free. However if you want to spend some money I recommend you get a Nintendo DS with a flashcart.

The flashcart allows you to download the games free from the Internet, so all you have to buy is the Nintendo DS and the flashcart.

There are lots of brain training and puzzle games on the DS which provide excellent exercise for the brain. I recommend Brain Challenge, and Professor Layton And The Curious Village to get you started.

But whatever you do just make an effort to use your brain whenever possible, because a healthy actively growing brain provides a good foundation upon which high self esteem is built.

As a side note, if you feel your brain has been damaged due to previous drug use, or you suffer from depression, get yourself some omega 3 and Lithium Orotate capsules. Both of these will repair damage done to the brain, and reduce depression.

In addition to this make sure you are eating some good fat. The brain is largely made up of fat, so low fat diets are bad news for the brain.

Also make sure you are not eating lots of junk food that contains excitotoxins, these will literally fry your brain!

More information about excitotoxins can be found in the following article : The Foods That Slowly Kill You

For more information about lithium orotate listen to Food, Minerals, Mood and Health in the free audio section on this site.

   i am a 66 year old male.although i have never been diagnosed with low self esteem,i know that i have suffered from it all of my life!!DO YOU THINK THAT IT IS TOO LATE NOW FOR ME TO IMPROVE MY BRAIN FUNCTIONS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY I THINK OR REACT?i I am so thankful that i discovered this….it is so informative and obviously well researched.

   Hi,

   In my experience i have found that most people do have some form of low self esteem, although the degree of low self esteem, seems to be largely dependent upon their childhood and teenage experiences. Another factor which contributes to low self esteem is the media, which is increasingly making people feel inadequate with who and what they are.

   However in answer to your question, no, it is not too late to improve your brain function, or the speed in which you think and react, due to something called neuronal plasticity.

   This is the ability of the brain to physically rewire itself, in response to external stimulation. In real world terms, this means that the more varied and challenging things you do, the healthier your brain will be.

   So by doing things you don’t normally do, by move outside your comfort zone and challenging yourself, you will eventually improve your overall brain function.

   However, when you finally do master a new task, it is important to find something new that can challenge and stimulate you. This is because when we get good at something, it takes less brain power to continue doing it, than it took when you first started and it was unfamiliar to you.

   Reading is a particularly good exercise for the brain, because it encourages you to visualise images in your mind. Watching TV is damaging to the brain, and should be eliminate completely, or restricted to 1-2 hours a week (or less).

   When reading, try reading out loud. This is even better for your brain, as it requires more brain power. Doing simple math questions rapidly, is also good exercise for the brain.

   If you look in the free ebooks section you can find a variety of books that you may find interesting, there are also some brain testing and puzzle books that may help you.

   Hi Martin,

   This spam protection question has a double use you know - one is the protection and the other is dendrite pumping no?

   Seriously, I find your work incredibly helpful. I can’t thank you enough for making this information available to us who use it to boost our life and feel great about ourselves.

   By now I’m pretty familiar with the concept of beliefs of programming minds (having that knowledge sinked in after a substial period of time and practice). My particular problem is programming being very hard for me. I have had breakthroughs and reliefs from shackles of erroneous and negative beliefs but I feel it’s just not working right. Very recently, untill a couple of days ago, I came to te conclusion that while some of my programming brings success, programming my mind for other fields for which I have the greatest desire for (such as having friends I really enjoy being with) seems pretty blocked. This morning I saw in one of the past pages of this article series on self-esteem that you wrote that it’s vital to remove blockages from the past (feelings of not being worthy and deserving of these things I really desire) before actual habit programming (for example, visualising myself as an extravert person). Somehow I really missed seeing this information few months back when I was reading through this great site. Actually, I am extremely surprised that untill this morning I haven’t realised that, despite my enormous personal progress in mind programming, self-analyzing and analyzing many other people and seeing subconscious mind at work everywhere I looked at and consequently seeing that everything you write about here holds water.

   Basically, I feel that my primary task now is to raise my self-esteem, and to be more specific self-respect (keeping in mind it it’s bound together with self-efficacy) and remove those blockages for the past and then pursue my dreams without those blockages - and finally, that all persistence with self-programming actually like a river breaks through that damned dam!

   All my persistence wasn’t in vain though. I’ve gained a tremendous passion for self-improvement, focus, knowledge and self-discipline to reject my former ways of apathy and comfortable pleasure in it. Consequently I know and feel that all this lead to dramatic rise of my self-esteem, mainly self-efficacy. Please correct me in case you think I may have forgotten something in making this conclusion - that I raising self-respect and feelings of self-worth is where I should focus all my attention and effort at this moment.

   Ok - maths, memory and image exercise, those weird movement exercises,investing in video games which actually help your brain to live in a real world, watching your nutrution and physical exercises, going into different places, doing different activities…any other advise you could give?

   And also I have another question. In my not so distant past I’ve learnt that physical training vastly increases self-esteem. I used to train karate about 2 years ago for a few months and I was pretty good in terms of physical endurance. I remember times when I got up at 6am and go running for about 10km and felt incredible self-esteem. At that time, I had a severe inferiority complex. In social life, I used to have a belief that the model is to have lots of friends and girlfriends, rich nightlife, etc..Common stuff. By now I have systematically removed such a belief, but I confess that fragments of it still may lurk, but not in a force that can jeoperdise my feelings about my life. I mean, I don’t have lots of friends nor girlfriends nor am I going out except on rare occasions to play pool or darts. I actually have very few “friends” (people I feel I have somewhat similar wavelengths with) nor a girlfriend. The only proper relationship with a girl was a year ago and it ended just about the same as from your experience which you mentioned a few pages ago. And I felt the same way. I’d be insincere if I said I don’t currently want a few girls in my life (not one, not a hoard), but I realise that it’s in my subconsious not to chase my desires. I have tried programming myself to approach girls (because before if anyone asked me if I’d rather talk to a girl for purpose of a man-woman relationship than pull a lion by it’s tail, I’d run to the first lion I’d see - and if there was none to see, I’d find go to Africa and find one, just to avoid talking to a girl, lol). I used the fake it untill you make it method and broke that fear of talking to girls, flirting and all - my subconscious made me do awesome, in spite of me never doing that before. Those few girls I went with showed real signs of interest but I never did the “finishing move”. Check even this example - this summer I swept a girl off her feet (another example of subconscious power), yes, she was a pretty slutty, but everything I said, and how I said, it was incredible. About 15 mins after talking to her, we went out, alone, and she showed 100% interest. But I just avoided sex, eventhough I wasn’t evading her. And eventually she just got annoyed and went. Nope, I wasn’t afraid I’d do bad or that she wouldn’t like me how I look, since I have a muscular build, 20 years old, healthy, plus every man and woman affirms that to me, nor have never had the size complex - I’m mentioning all this just so you can eliminate the effect of believing of looking bad. What the hell is wrong with me? It’s obviously self-sabotage. That I know. But do you think it’s actually a lack of self-respect, a belief I don’t deserve relationships with women, or good, relaxed relationships with friends, or anything I deem myself worthy of?

   I never had abusive parents, in contrary, they were always loving. Their “mistake” was that they were never supportive and never made me feel safe from the outside world. I just felt kinda safe at home, with them. The real problem dealers were some of my “friends” who put all kinds of bull in my head during elementary and high school. At those times, especially in high school, I had very low self-esteem, namely self-worth, because at some time I even felt undeserving of life, and actually the only thing that refrained me from suicide was an illusion that my life will blossom after I finish college and start working. Of course I don’t have that illusion anymore, but at that time if I hadn’t had it, I’d kill myself for sure, probably choosing the most gruesome way to die since I felt so unworthy.

   I have had great deal of success with affirmations before (haven’t used them for raising self-respect before though). I think these will do a great job. I don’t have any ideas how I could make progress with visualisation here. Do you have some ideas for me? I reckon doing my best do look well from now on will also do the trick, plus making myself to eat healthy and nutritious food eventhough I feel unworthy of it…to practice increasing concentration and level of physical fitness eventhough I feel highly unworthy of them… Do you have anything to add or make me aware of certain beliefs/defence mechanisms I may be unaware of, just in case (you being objective and knowledgeable about this are the best person to ask, in my opinion)?
   I realise I may have answered some of my questions myself in here, but I have been writing this post for some time now, and it’s easy to lose track, especially if you can’t edit.

   Sorry for the long post! Yes it could’ve been written shorter so again, it’s easy to lose track. I really hope you find some time to read AND reply

   Keep up the good work.

   Hi Milan (good name if thats your real name!)

   I think you have a good understanding of self esteem and you are certainly heading in the right direction with the right attitude.

   One thing i would stress is that it is important to take both mental and physical action when it comes to self esteem.

   Yes it is important to do various programming techniques, but in order to solidify that programming you need to back it up with experience.

   This means having a goal in mind, and working towards it until you accomplish it. Even though you may fail many times and feel discouraged when things aren’t going to plan, eventually when you do achieve your goal it will have a powerful programming effect on the mind.

   Basically if you can prove to yourself that you can do something once, the likelihood of you repeating that success increases dramatically. This is really what confidence is, success built upon success.

   However in order to achieve this success you need a foundation to build on, such as an understanding of self esteem. You then need persistence, which is the ability to keep going until you achieve what you set out to do despite the many obstacles that are bound to come your way.

   To help you visualise persistence look at the picture on the homepage. That sums it up very well, one step at a time until you reach the top.

   Without experience any programming you do will likely be superficial and not last for very long.

   Also don’t be too concerned about removing all your blockages from the past, deal with the big ones first as conquering them will have the most impact on your life.

   In terms of brain exercises it really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are doing new and challenging things. This can be anything from doing crossword puzzles to travelling across the world.

   There are some good brain training programmes here which are very good

   http://www.brainready.com/braincasts/

   Exercise is also very good for the brain, so i would recommend exercising on a regular basis.

   As i side note, you may be interested to know that exercising in the morning might not be a good idea. I recently saw a documentary on the body clock, which talked about how most heart attacks occur in the morning when people are exercising as this is not a good time for the body to exercise. So i have now changed to exercising in the afternoon or evening.

   In terms of sex, this can be due to many things but you’re probably right in saying that it’s as a result of some subconscious beliefs you have. Although they are probably not what you think they are.

   What you have described is actually an increasingly common occurrence amongst young men. Basically this can be a result of either watching pornography which can actually reduce your sexual desires to women in real life. Another reason for this may be over masturbation (such as masturbating every day). This can also reduce your sexual desire to women in real life.

   In addition to this there is also the effect of society, which seems to have feminised men (physically or mentally or both) so that women are now the dominant ones.

   What this means is that whereas in the past men would be dominant with women and take the lead (including making sexual advances) this now seems to be the other way around, where men expect women to make the first move.

   The result is usually frustration for both sexes, because there’s the man waiting for the woman to literally jump all over him, whilst the women still thinks the man should make the first move. So nothing happens.

   If any of this makes sense to you, the next time something like this happens where a woman makes it very obvious she is into you, make sure you make a move on her (if you like her). This will build up your confidence with women, until you are able to literally talk the pants of a woman.

   Eventually you will get into a relationship with a woman, but don’t turn into a wuss otherwise she won’t hang around for long. Since you have a masculine body, use this to your advantage by allowing it to enhance your masculinity and masculine aura.

   A man having a woman (or women) in his life is also very important for building self esteem. It makes you feel valued, and gives you confidence to do things in life.

   Although it is important to not see the woman as the source of your happiness, otherwise this is just another form of fake self esteem. So basically enjoy women, but don’t make them the only thing in your life.

   About your childhood, you don’t have to have abusive parents to have low self esteem. They can pass it onto you simply by you being in their presence for so many years as an impressionable child. Alternatively they can give it to you indirectly, by not doing things which would have built your self esteem.

   In addition to this you also have the influence of your school years to consider.

   The good news is that since you are still young and are tackling this issue now, self esteem is going to be a lot easier to work on. Many people start working on their self esteem when they are 30, 40, 50 or older! Can you imagine how difficult it would be for a 50 year old to change beliefs they have been carrying around for 50 years?

   School can be a rough experience for a lot of people. the main reason is that you are going into a new environment with a set of beliefs programmed into your mind (most of which came from your parents).

   Depending what sort of beliefs you have, will determine how school turns out for you and how other people treat you (who also have their own belief systems).

   If your belief system is not strong enough, or adequate enough to deal with the various challenges you face, it gets broken down and you feel like everything is hopeless and can’t be changed. Its like nothing seems to fit your version of reality and how you believe it should be, which can leave you frustrated and confused as what you can do.

   Of course it can be changed, and you realise that through learning and experience (mental and physical action).

   In terms of visualisation, there are many techniques you can use but here is something you may want to try.

   Get an image in your mind of what you want yourself to be like in a year (or whatever timeframe you want) and imagine yourself being that way and what your life is like.

   This will be the mental aspect of it, you then need to solidify it into reality with the actions you take.

   So basically you need to give yourself a direction to go in, by imaging what you want yourself to be. Keep this image in mind and it will grow stronger and clearer over time.

   Overall all this boils down to is becoming comfortable in your own skin, and not thinking about what other people think of you or whether they approve of you.

   I talk more about approval in the following article series

   http://www.eruptingmind.com/meaning-self-reliance-explained/

   Now that you have read the self esteem series, i would recommend reading the latest series i just finished writing on feelings. this series will help you to better understand the importance of feelings and how to respond appropriately to them.

   Thank you for your opinion and tips, I’ll definitely make good use of them!

   Only recently (a couple of days or so), I got one of those subconscious “snaps”. It’s a very big one and I feel like never before. It significantly reduced my anxiety with which I’ve been having sooo much trouble in the past. I don’t have problems with laziness and procrastrination, I also now feel I finally got that perfect, relaxed posture I’ve always wanted and in the course events of previous days which would normally irritate the hell out of me, make me angry, shout, the worst kind of anger trigger, I just now see it all calmly and feel truly relaxed, I respond calmly and confidently. My tone of voice is more resonant and calm now, such as my breathing - diaphragmatic!

   So I’m pretty much a different person now, and with all these problems taken care of, I have much more focus both with programming mentally and am relaxed in the outside world, with which I interact much more as I would like to. I also experience more situations and learn more from them with my new perception and attitude (plus it’s been only a few days). So I won’t be surprised if great things start happening to me very soon.

   By the way, don’t get me wrong - I know for sure women don’t guarantee happiness, nor are they the only factor in it. It’s just something that I desire for this period, not lots of sex, but rather lots of love. I can feel my subconscious telling me that both awake and deep relaxed state. I actually see myself as a family man in my 20s, this wish about “womanizing” is something short-term.

   Alright, I’ll get myself to reading about feelings now.

   By the way - yes, it’s my real name, I’m Slavic.

   Thanks again.

   I had the most resistance to the visualation of the pictures that were i the article. I could only remember two of them.
   Then I looked back at them and was unable to remember when what picture was to occur. I was reluctant to try to remember the pictures also………..I do have trouble with imaging also with expressing feelings. I do believe that admitting this is a means of congratulating myself for learning more about myself.
   Thanks for the help I am finding in these articles
