We start forming our self-esteem, positive or negative, from
the day we are born. We develop feelings about ourselves that are reinforced by
others.
Negative Self-Talk or Negative Auto-Suggestions
This is when we say to
ourselves, consciously or unconsciously, statements such as:
- I have a poor memory.
- I'm not good at math.
- I'm not an athlete.
- I'm tired.
Such
statements only reinforce the negative and put ourselves down. Very soon our
mind starts believing these statements and our behavior changes accordingly.
They become self-fulfilling prophecies.

The greatest thing
that a parent can give to his children are roots. The best part of a family
tree is the roots. Noticing a little girl's courteous and polite behavior, the
teacher asked, "Who taught you to be so courteous and polite?" The
girl replied, "No one. It just runs in our family."
