Nature equips us with self love and it is up to us to get it back.
If we have any negative beliefs about our selves, we need to know that they are erroneous.
We can tell they are erroneous, because of the negative feeling.
I believe that these steps, are those we pass through to return to natures intent.
Identify the wrong belief, by its negative smell
Trace when the belief was accuired, and why. For instance, it might be an event, which made
an impression on our perception. Maybe a teacher called us a derrogatory name, etc etc
Realise it is wrong, how it is wrong, and why it is wrong.
Once we fully feel the erroneousness of our belief, it dissolves and in its place is the real truth.
A bit like the analogy, you cannot have ice where there is heat.

I would like to comment on “self confidence”. Self confidence is viewed on 3 levels. There is self confidence through a conscious approach and self confidence in the sub conscious approach and self confidence in the universal approach. On the conscious level, it is dependent on the results of action. The world has a approval component to this. On the sunconscious level, this energy is in thought form. In the deep universal level, deep inside the mind, it is connected to passion. Too often, we base self confidence on the approval of others. This is the point of shattering. Too often, we apply action without a sunconcious preparation. In other words, we act without aligned thought.
Self confidence is nurtured from the inside out, first meditate to discover talent; I believe we all have it. Then aligned inner thought with emotion prepares the right action. Once feeling planned, your self confidence to act is strong. Once this energy is focused unstoppable, the worlds’ response is totally positive. Never allow the world to decide your confidence. Making mistakes is a personal self esteem issue. What is considered a mistake to one is not to another. Since we live in a universe of love, belief and illusion, I can tell you that you need no ones’ approval but your own gift of manipulated energy into your definition of happiness.
