Backward Aging 3.3 – Self Esteem

A low self-esteem can make you feel like a victim of circumstances. You may look at time passing with fear, and think you’re powerless over aging.  You may believe there is no way to use time as your friend to better yourself and your life.

When you raise your self-esteem you realize that time is in fact, your friend. Only time allows you to keep growing, learning new behaviors, discovering new ways to transform yourself. You can shift from being passive to become the active creator of your life.

Think of all the things you’ve achieved since your birth. Some of these things you may take for granted, such as learning to walk and talk. Other things you may think were greater successes, like going to school or getting a job. Moreover, think of all the obstacles you had to surmount until today: Billions and billions of microbes, bacteria, fungi, and viruses have been all around you, for as long as you have lived, mostly without harming you. Since you are here now, and reading this, you can thank the power of your immune system.

Add to this the possible car, train, boat, plane, or other types of accidents or tragedies like wars, earthquakes, etc… You’ve survived and should realize what a miracle your life has been and can be.
But, the real wonder is that contrary to what you probably believe, you have the power to change all aspects of who you are now. At any age, you can change your mind, the way you think,  the way your body looks and functions, your spirit, how you look at the material and the immaterial world!

Backward aging is fundamentally getting rid of all the consequences of accelerated aging: The life style errors we’ve made like faulty beliefs, destructive habits, unhealthy nourishment, or improper treatment of our body. Backward aging is recovering the unlimited potential we had in our youth. And, yes it is achievable!

The most important part of your being is your potential for change and growth, whatever your age and situation. If you don’t start by loving yourself, how can you love others?

If you limit your love to yourself and dislike or hate anyone else, you’re not going to be very happy. Research shows that holding judgmental or negative feelings about yourself or others reduces your longevity. Realizing what a miracle you are is just a first step in your quest for wisdom and backward aging.

Most “evil” on this earth comes from the fact that over time, “evil” people have built a distorted and weak image of themselves. Studies show that most tyrants, criminals and psychopaths have such a low self-image, that they need to degrade others below their own perceived level, to feel better about themselves.

That’s why it’s so important to take control of the programming of your mind. It is this programming, originally done by your family, and later by the community and culture you live in, that built your Self-Image. Psychologists estimate that just the verbal cues fed to you by your parents in early childhood amount to over twenty-five thousand hours of pure conditioning that can be negative or positive in its effect.

There are multiple ways to gracefully age backward. New scientific discoveries on stem cells, telomerase, and changes in thought processes show that it is now possible to rejuvenate at any age.

In my next letter, I’ll talk about other lifestyle changes and how to get out of your limiting comfort zone.

Stay tuned,

   This design is wicked! You most certainly know how
   to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was
   almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great
   job. I really loved what you had to say, and more
   than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
