Building Self-Esteem: Discover Who You Are with a New Fabulous Journey!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We’re so excited to share that we’re releasing a new journey around building self-esteem for Fabulous users! It’s taken a long time for us to create this special journey, because we wanted to get it perfect.

Your journey to building Self-Esteem begins now

The self-esteem journey is really a journey about self-discovery. It’s about getting to know yourself, getting to understand the story you have about yourself, and what elements of it have gotten in your way instead of helping you.

It’s about knowing your strengths and knowing the limitations you have created for yourself, and building the capacity to overcome them. The journey will take you through a process of investigating the thoughts and beliefs (thus patterns) that have held you back, and where those come from.

Low self-esteem is a result of a series of negative critical beliefs that you’ve internalized, but may not be aware of just yet. Ask yourself, are you are often judgemental and unkind to yourself about little things?

Getting to understand those parts of yourself better will allow you to have compassion for the faults we all share and have in common. When you can realize this, you can stop self-sabotaging yourself, even subconsciously so.

If you’re someone who keeps repeating the same patterns, same choices, and same self-defeating behaviors over and over again, this journey is for you. You will learn where those patterns come from and how to work through them.

You will learn that part of this process is learning to change your narrative—rewrite your story—from a position of self-acceptance, self-compassion, and authenticity. This involves understanding the power of reframing your perspectives and thoughts, and discovering how a simple adjustment creates an entirely new picture.

Involved in this is essentially neuroscience (and cognitive behavioral techniques)–by rewriting your story, repeatedly reframing your thoughts, you actually rewire your brain by creating new pathways for thinking (and thus feelings).

Central to the entire journey is writing: writing in your self-esteem journal, using particular exercises (writing your story, reframing your thoughts, investigating your core beliefs, etc), as a process of ongoing self-reflection.

This process of taking a self-reflexive stance towards ones thoughts and beliefs creates a rupture: it disrupts the autopilot of your usual everyday way of existing in the world, and opens the doors to new possibilities. It allows you to be active participants, to have control and agency, in a new way. It allows you to build towards your ideal future from an authentic and empowered place.

Building self-esteem is not about a hollow boosting of one’s ego, not about gaining confidence from external accomplishments and successes, because that means a failure leads to a fall.

At the core of a stable, sustainable, and strong self-esteem is self-knowledge, self-understanding, self-acceptance, self-compassion. The journey helps you build the pillars you need for this kind of self-esteem.
