'09 resolution: Boost self-esteem
Obviously, one of my New Year's resolutions is to be less anxious in '09. Part of my strategy involves boosting my self-esteem. My counselor sees my low self-esteem and self-worth as feeding into my anxiety. This makes sense, especially since I have a lot of anxiety about "failing" in life. So I'm ending '08 and beginning '09 with a self-commitment to appreciate and value myself.

Thanks for checking out my blog. I have added your site to my blogroll. I have enjoyed reading your posts and hopefully we can help each other overcome our anxious minds. All the best for 2009! :)
Thanks, Bookworm! I firmly believe that the more we reach out to each other, the more we exponentially increase our chances of living less anxious lives.
I can really empathize about low self-esteem and self-worth. But you have a unique blend of talents, abilities, and experience that no one else has. Part of the journey toward self-esteem is realizing that and working toward maximizing them for the good of others.
My therapist thinks that my blog has helped me tremendously. Maybe yours will too!
Good point, Mike. Thanks for sharing! I need to remember that there's only one me :)
