People have low esteem for a variety of reasons. Some individuals suffer from poor body image and focus on all the negative traits of their physical appearance. Others have emotional issues that have caused their self esteem to drop or feel themselves unworthy of any praise. For whatever reasons your self esteem may falter, the key to building it up again is to find the root of the problem. Think of self esteem like a house, if you build a stunning house on a poor foundation, the entire structure will crumble. However, if you take steps to ensure the foundation is strong and capable of holding anything, the process may be slow, but your self esteem will be built soundly.
Many individuals look for help for their low self esteem in books or seminars. The number of available options on the market is phenomenal, and you are sure to find one on a topic that deals with your specific issues. Check out your local library or book store and explore their �self help� section for a book that you may find helpful. It is quite unlikely you will find the answers to all your problems in a book, but you may find it helpful to know others are in your same boat and you are certainly not alone. Additionally, you may wish to seek professional help in your quest to boost your self esteem. Often, speaking with a qualified individual can help you determine the root of your problem and the necessary path you should take for the rebuilding process. Perhaps your problems dates back to childhood, or maybe it has recently developed. Whatever the case, a professional will be able to best determine your next step.
A main factor in self esteem is negativity. Negative thoughts can pervade your confidence and crumble your self esteem. If you find yourself surrounded by negative people or in a negative situation, try to best remedy the problem. Often, individuals in a abusive relationship have their self esteem shattered when a supposed loved one constantly berates them and questions their worth. Similarly, a negative workplace environment can lower your self esteem with colleagues or bosses finding fault with your work. Maybe you have a friend who is consistently negative with all surrounding him or her. Whatever the source, distancing yourself from the negativity will help you regain your self esteem. Strive to surround yourself with positive people. If you are going through a rough time in your personal life, you may wish to join a support group. Similarly, there are support groups available for individuals with self image issues. These groups will allow you to meet other individuals like yourself and provide a forum for you to sound your hopes and achievements.
However you choose to begin building your self esteem, do so today! Be thorough and consistent with the process and be aware it may take a while. You should not become impatient or despondent if you find your self esteem slipping. Remember, you are an important and worthy person and should treat yourself as such.

Anyone at anytime can become affected by anxiety. Anxiety is diagnosed as a mental health disorder. Five per cent of the population at some stage in their lives have had an anxiety or depressive bout where it has left them feeling agitated and concerned for their health.

Lucid Dreaming: Exploring the Mysterious Mindscape
To most people, dancing on the surface of the moon, or instantaneously travelling across continents may seem like pure fiction. But to those who have learned to change and control their mental landscape, these and other seemingly outrageous feats may be described as commonplace. Lucid dreaming, or dream consciousness, is the act of acquiring and maintaining alert mental awareness within the dream state. This lucid state allows the dreamer to control and actively participate in their mental imagery, and often leads to an expansion of one's self-awareness in everyday life.
From intense meditation to simple practiced routine, attaining lucidity occurs differently depending on the person. Dreams often end with an event which defies logic, such as a sudden realization of one's ability to breathe underwater. Numbers may morph and melt on the face of a clock. During such an event, a dreamer's reaction may be to recognize that such phenomena could only occur within the realm of the mind. In this moment, the direction and events of the mindscape are at the hands of the dreamer. This instant, however brief, is lucidity in its rawest form. This sudden realization of power often leads to the urge to escape the unreality of the situation by awakening. The ability to recognize such paradoxes, as well as a healthy dream recall, are the key to maintaining awareness without a premature return to waking life.
The average person may have three to five dreams in a single night, although the memories of these experiences are often lost. Keeping and reviewing a daily journal of the dreams of nights past
is the easiest way to cultivate dream recall, and helps to develop an eye for reoccurring symbols in the dream world. With these in hand, recognition of the dream world comes easily, and awareness is maintained without ending the experience.
While dream consciousness has only recently gained credibility within the scientific community, references to lucid dreaming can be found in Hindu texts from as early as 1000 BCE. Philosophers have used the inner exploration of the dream world to help shape their views of the universe, as shown in Aristotle's text On Dreams, published circa 350 BC and Descartes' Olympica in the early 1600s. Not until the late 20th century did lucid dreaming receive concrete scientific support. During the late 1970s, Alan Worsley, a volunteer for a clinical sleep study, signaled researchers with predetermined eye movement patterns during the dream stage of sleep, proving that he had become lucid.
People who have developed a keen control of their dreams, called oneironauts, often report complete, omniscient control of their dreamscape. These modern explorers of the psyche tell stories of flying through the sky at will, altering the weather, and living out full-blown epic adventures. The constant practice of dreaming consciously also seems to have some positive effects on waking life. For example, sufferers of recurring nightmares, once able to realize lucidity, may cast off their malevolent dream beings, replacing them with a beautiful landscape of flowers and waterfalls. Avid dreamers also report an increase in creativity in every day life. The ability to literally create the world before one's own eyes, to shape it, to play a part in its events, or even to destroy it displays the immense and mysterious power of the subconscious human mind.
