The impact of media on self-esteem
We are becoming more aware of the impact of media on self-esteem. The media has affected everyone; you can see the unhealthy impact of the media in girls, boys, women and men.

It is all an illusion to steal our inner joy and peace; to mislead and perhaps even “brainwash"” us into thinking that this is the ideal and these are the standards we should be living up to;  rather than realizing our happiness and satisfaction with ourselves comes from within.

In fact, the media has proven to be your enemy due to being one of the primary catalyst towards the unhealthy behavior of being obsessed with so called physical perfection.   Remember they obtain their financial prosperity from advertising dollars. The advertisers take pride in leading you astray in fueling the incorrect belief that you are unworthy of love, money, romance, the good life until you purchase their product/s. Then there are the shows that focus on fear rather than on love. The constant underlying message being fed into your psyche that there is no safe place in the world.  You can't trust anyone, again most of these shows depending upon the theme of the show is immediately followed by some relevant advertisement that is designed to cause you to  purchase whatever help you need to fill the void in your life. All of this leads to the pollution of your mental, emotional environment.

Your individual health and well-being is not necessarily their concern. Despite what their agenda  your confidence, dignity and morale is constantly being impacted by the media. To continue to allow yourself to be impacting by the media, is nothing more than permitting emotional abuse to be inflicted upon you. These particular types of abusers have no intention of setting you free any more than any other emotional abusers who would not leave you in peace.

Their entire programming is designed to purposefully make you feel inferior and not “good enough” so you will purchase items from their advertisers. The programming continues to assure you that your self-respect, self-regard, self-assurance self-love and even your integrity will be satiated only by following through with their instructions. You unconsciously sit in front of the television and or have it on as background noise, you are bombarded by print ads everywhere you go; which causes you to do  whatever you can to become more like “like those well known stars and/or some model/actor portraying a look, and lifestyle you so desire”. These are all the false icons that rob you of the value of inherent value. You continue with unending attempts to be more like them and less like “you”; your true authenticity.

Allowing the impact of the media on your self-esteem to continue, robs you of your natural joy and happiness, it steals the pleasure of knowing the true value of life and unfortunately most of what they are attempting to convince you will change your life, will do nothing more than leave you feeling even more alone.

You must take action to become strong against the self-imposed impact of media on self-esteem. This is not an easy task, as it is a behavior that has controlled your life and  requires changing; but anything can heal quickly with focus and intent. You will have to be totally independent in your thinking, and connected to your infinite perfection and self-love; which means you will have to be de-programmed from the media. This can be done, but you will need to be willing and you will need to practice; your intent must follow your desire.

I can assure you, however, that the result is completely rewarding! You will be free from the unhealthy need to compare yourself with another or any other. You will be consumed with inner joyful loving, healthy self-admiration, rather than ego conceit and/or feeling less than. You will know what love really is, rather than seeking it through other means of making your self more lovable.

The best way to be free from the media’s hold on you and the negative impact of the media on your self-esteem, is to begin by avoiding it at all costs. Do not watch television, read magazines, or even engage in on-line Internet news. You will need to refrain from this for a few days to a few weeks. If you need to know about the weather, only listen to the weather on the radio, or look it up on-line. Remember, you are being de-programmed!

Next, practice this meditation technique and body activation which will help tremendously. Sit quietly where you will be undisturbed for 15 minutes or more. Then breathe deeply, in and out through the nose. Set the intention for you to have complete and infinite self-love, no matter what you see, hear, and think.

This is your truth, you are infinite perfection and have complete self-love no matter what! Now, try to feel your hair without your hands, just from this inside. Feel the sensation of the hairs’ tips, strands, and follicles (if you don’t have any hair, you can still feel your follicles). Then feel the upper cortex of your brain. If you need to, you can touch the top, center portion of your head. Feel the tingling sensation.

Then think or say out loud, “I have infinite perfection and know and love who I truly am” Just sit with that for a while, and then slowly bring your attention down to your stomach. Touch your bellybutton, then when you remove your fingers, feel your stomach. You should feel a tingling sensation in your stomach moving upward to just under your rib cage. Keep your feeling focused in your stomach for a bit.

Then after a few minutes, touch the bottom of your feet. Again, remove your fingers and feel the tingling on the bottom of your feet. After you focus your feeling there for a few minutes, you are done. You may practice this as much as you’d like, but no less than 15 minutes a day. Note that if you have difficulty feeling any of these sensations, you just need to practice and be patient with yourself.
