Lisa writes.........I have been thinking back on how things have changed for me since I took the Power of Self Esteem (SEE) in 2000.  One of the main things that has changed is how different I feel about living.  Before I took the course everyday things used to seem such a chore.  I used to wake up most days feeling low and tired, dreading the day, dreading having to be around people.  Thinking about having to socialise and go to parties was terrifying and afterwards I would often cry for days and sometimes weeks.  I was depressed, low and felt scared a lot of the time.  This was a way of life for me from quite an early age and most of the time I just did my best to get through the days.  Outwardly no-one really knew, I kept how low I felt mostly to myself.  I had, a nice life, good husband, good friends and family, so could not understand why I felt the way I did.  Life seemed like a torture I thought would never end.  Somewhere deep down I knew I wasn’t that bad, but I didn’t know how to stop worrying and being hard on myself.

That way of living began to change from the very 1^st day of going to the SEE course.  I immediately didn’t feel so alone, and I began to think that maybe I wasn’t going mad after all.  Since then it has been step by step, I have taken other courses offered by this program, I carried on learning and bit by bit I have changed how I feel about myself and about life.  I know more who I am (and what I’m not) and I enjoy life so much more.  I still have moments when I feel scared and I’m hard on myself, the difference is that it’s no longer a way of life, I don’t have to stay there.  I now know how to do something about it, I can change how I feel, I am gentler with myself and I am glad to be alive.

I am so grateful for being recommended this course and encouraged to go for it even though I was so scared.  And I am grateful to each and every one of the amazing women that I have come to know since taking my 1^st course.

Knowing how different life is to me now is one of the main reasons I choose to teach The Power of Self Esteem.  I want to share that with others, and offer possibilities for living in a different way.  I want to offer opportunities for people to see themselves and their value as human beings.  It is an amazing course and it does change lives.

I am enrolling for my course starting Saturday April 19^th, and there are spaces.  If you are interested or there is someone in your life you want to offer this course to please contact me.
