Though it is difficult to give a definition of self esteem, the psychological term denotes an individual's evaluation about their own self. Though many give their own definition of self esteem, widely accepted definition is that of Nathaniel Branden. According to him, self esteem is "the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness".It is important to understand, when born, most of us will have high self esteem. This is influenced as we grow, by teachers, parents and other friends or relatives. Many have low self esteem due to one of these influencing personalities. With low esteem, we can never live life to their fullest, or enjoy life. Even doing our daily routine, relationships, or achieving goals can become a problem with reduced self esteem.

The Foundations Of Building Muscle

By Russ Howe


Most people who go to the gym are completely lost by the science and jargon which often surrounds training and diet. In fact, we lose count of the number of times people ask us how to build muscle on a daily basis. As fitness instructors this is probably our second most popular query behind only how to lose weight and keep it off. We get to see just how many people out there are struggling to get results.

Both of the steps given in today's article will help you see results.
The importance of diet is just one of the five rules touched upon in the video guide on how to build muscle accompanying today's article.


If you have been struggling for progress in the gym or perhaps you are just starting out and not sure what to do, today's article will help you get the basics down.

* Know your diet

* Supplements are useful but not essential

Much like any aspect of life, when it comes to fitness people are often so caught up in the fantasy of finding a simple miracle fix for all their problems they neglect to realize that if they just nailed down the basics they could have already got the results they wanted.

Building muscle size and definition isn't just about eating a ton of extra calories per day. Where you get those calories from plays a huge part in how your body will look and what type of size you add. By making a couple of simple changes to your diet you can enhance your results massively.

There is no one 'best' way to diet. Despite all the trainers out there trying to sell their 'best ever plan' to you, there are numerous ways to get results in the gym. You simply have to get the basics right and that's what we're going to show you today. One of the best diets around is known as the 3-5-2 plan. To work out how many calories per day you need to pack on some size, multiply your target weight (in pounds) by fifteen. So a 180 pound guy would require around 2700 kcals in total.

The 3-5-2 system gets it's name because it means 30% protein, 50% carbohydrates and 20% fats. It's good knowing what total calorie target to aim for, but it's even better knowing exactly how many grams of each macro nutrient to look for.

So to see how many calories per day need to come from each macronutrient simply use the 3-5-2 system now. In this case, 2700 calories multiplied by thirty percent will give you 810. This is the number of daily calories you need from protein.

To convert your protein calories into grams so you know how much to eat, just divide that 810 by four. This gives you 202g. For carbohydrates, take your carb calories and divide by four. When it comes to your daily fats, take your fat calories and divide it by nine. This will give you a complete breakdown of how many calories to eat per day and how much of it needs to come from protein, carbohydrates and fats respectively.

Next we need to talk about supplements. It is very easy to get lost in the supplement market, with every product telling you that it's better than anything else. If you get your diet sorted out first, you will realize that you don't need most of the products you might be wasting your money on right now.

The only supplements you require when starting a muscle building program are protein and creatine. Everything else can be added in at a later date if necessary. They keyword to remember here is supplement, keep it basic. It's meant to be an add on to your diet, not a replacement.

Now that you are a little more up to speed on the two foundations of how to build muscle you will be able to reap hugely enhanced results in the gym compared to those who fail to sort out the basics before diving in head first. If you are serious about changing your body, now is the time to do it.

Stress Management Techniques Are Perfect Stress Busters

By Sergio S. Brooks


Some stress is an important part of everyday life. As a consequence of being stressed we react to situations better, perform with a heightened level of awareness, access a more focussed way of thinking. But to live in a permanently stressed state is counter-productive; it is draining and bad for our long term health.Learning to prioritize is an important stress management technique. We can become habituated to instantly reacting whenever there is a request for work or help, but learning to prioritize is an important way to manage stress. Doing the most urgent tasks first helps to manage stress and pressure as it minimises the need to have people banging on the door, urgently demanding a piece of work.
[Stress Management Techniques]


Seeing things through from start to finish is important, as it can be tempting to start one piece of work, then another and have several projects on the go at once. This can apply equally at home or at work; starting to clean a room, then doing a little ironing, then the garden can result in nothing being finished and leave a dissatisfied feeling at the end of the day. If a work task has to be left part way through make sure that you make clear notes so that it can be resumed efficiently once you return.

Once you get to know the chief reason behind your stress, you can easily manage it. All you need is spend some time with yourself and family away from tedious activities of your daily life. This helps in relieving your tensions and keeps you totally relaxed. A weekend getaway or a holiday to a hill station can also be a wise option to get rid of your stress, breaking free of the shackles of social events and work pressures. An exercise regime followed regularly acts as a positive catalyst in reducing stress levels. You can also join yoga classes or seek professional help from experts who can help you out with best stress management techniques. Various programs and counseling by professionals help to eliminate all issues related to stress in an easy and reliable way.

Practicing stress management techniques prove beneficial in the long run and you would be glad to see the stark difference in your life turned totally stress free. Stress levels can be well defined by the way you react to different situations. Keeping a close check at your anger and carrying a positive attitude in life can work wonders in relieving your stress levels and in avoiding extreme reactions that might emotionally hurt yourself and others. Many refrain to accept the fact that their attitude towards life is due to the stress that has an adverse effect on their lifestyles. But denying such facts can only aggravate the levels of stress. Those who suffer from high stress levels either have tremendous weight gain or tend to lose weight. These weight disorders have an adverse effect on their health.

Focus on priorities: Write down your priorities and celebrate when you reach each one. It is one of the best tools to achieve the desired goals.Do something you enjoy everyday: Make time for leisure activities that bring you joy, whether it be playing the piano or working on your bike.Keep your sense of humor: This includes the ability to laugh at yourself.Exercise regularly: Make time for at least 30 minutes of exercise.Eat a healthy diet: Well nourished bodies are better prepared to cope with stress, so be mindful of what you eat.Reduce sugar: Sugar provides a crash in mood and energy. By reducing the amount of coffee, soft drinks chocolate and sugar snacks in your diet, you will feel more relaxed and better.Avoid drugs: Avoid alcohol and cigarettes. Self medication with alcohol and drugs may provide an easy escape from stress, but the relief is only temporary. Do not mask the issue at hand; deal with problems with a clear mind.

Remind yourself to value the other areas of your life, your family, friends, hobbies and interests as well as work. By introducing stress management techniques it becomes easier to find a balance between all those different areas. You establish a better quality of life and establish a healthy work/life balance that brings satisfaction, pleasure as well as challenge and only occasional stress.

Stress, no matter how little or how grave, can have a direct impact on your attitude and lifestyle. In fact, it can also have an adverse affect on your body and mind. It is good to identify the reasons behind your stress levels to beat it before it takes you in its grip. Worries related to academic performance, office work, relationships and finances can perturb you and raise your stress levels while aggravating your physical and mental health.

Stress has become a part of our lives and it is practically impossible to eradicate all stresses completely as they recur time and again with growing responsibilities. However, stress management techniques are effective methods to control stress and resist its influence on our lives. Frequent headaches, exhaustions, mood swings, sleeplessness etc. are some of the symptoms of stress. If you feel that you are undergoing a stressful life, spend some time with yourself to diagnose the real reasons behind your stress levels. You can take a break from your hectic life style to find yourself relieved from stress. Stress management is all about taking complete control of your schedule, emotions and thoughts and the way you tackle problems.

The act of tuning into something like this has profound physiological effects and can help you reduce your reaction to emotional tension faster and with greater ease. It is certainly not comfortable to be worked up. Allowing an activity to help you cope is a great way to learn how to stay calmer.

Studies have shown that people who can calm themselves intentionally are much more able to remain calm for longer periods of time under duress. The consistent training of the mind to release the tension helps it to happen automatically even when tension is building.Using coloring books as one of your stress management techniques can increase your overall productivity and help intensify your commitment to living a happier and healthier life. By engaging in the practice you can exert more control over your reactions and develop healthier outlets almost overnight.Do you want to learn more about Stress Management Techniques - Using Coloring Books and other Stress Management Techniques?

Learn How To Change Your Life By Changing Your Daily Habits

By Hieke Huiskes


What do you think about your life? Do you believe that, because of other people or unfavorable circumstances, you're not living the life you'd like to? If you believe that a dream is just a dream and it never will come true, you are wrong. You're just letting your life pass you by without even trying to give it a meaning. Finally, why are you living for? We learn and acquire habits during all our life.
[Books That Change Your Life]


Go through your closets and discard clothing you have not worn in the past year - it might not even fit you now. Consider how many shoes a person really needs. Most people do not really need more than three or four pairs of shoes. Discard that which you do not need and make room for something else - you'll feel better if you do.Change can be good.Similarly, go through your refrigerator. When's the last time you cleaned that out? Do you really need to keep that near empty bottle of Soy sauce considering you haven't eaten Chinese food in more than a year? Toss it out! Make room in your refrigerator; make room in your life. You will feel better afterwards.

Go through your garage as well and consider what to keep and what to get rid of. Just knowing what you have in there will give you a better feeling, but move everything to one side and give the floor a good sweep, yes, even way back in that corner you haven't seen in more than a year. Clean it out, give yourself some open space - it will look better and you will feel better.Do you have items of furniture that you really don't care for now? They looked great last year or five years ago but now, not so great. Is it time to make a change? Does that couch cushion still feel good when you sit on it? Are the arms or legs becoming scuffed and tattered? What about that one chair or small table that just seems to always be in the way? Might it be time to give it the old heave-ho?

For any one goal or dream, there are millions of potential ways in which that goal or dream could come to fruition. Life offers us endless opportunities, paths and decisions to create what we desire. There is no 'one' way. The signals are not showing you the only way, they are simply guiding you forward in a way that will serve you well, should you wish to follow them.Think of signals like the Key on a map. It is certainly very possible to find your way to your destination without referring to the Key on your map, you will likely get there eventually unaided, but with the Key it's so much easier.Very simply put - you can create the life you want, turning your goals and dreams into reality, if you follow the signals.We often spend a lot of time trying to figure out 'how' to achieve what we want in our lives. But here is the trick - our main job is to define WHAT we want, and let the signals show us HOW to achieve it.Our logical minds can sometimes tell us why our goal or dream is not possible. Our minds will find barriers, risks, obstacles to analyse, and will worry and scheme, and wonder and ponder... that is normal.

But the universe is sending you wise and peaceful signals every day in reaction to what you say you want and if you let go of trying to work how to achieve what you desire and instead focus on the joy of what you want and follow the signals,you will be led towards your goals and dreams.signals can point you towards information that can help you by showing you how to overcome hurdles and introducing you to people you need to meet, offering you lessons you need to learn, providing encouragement at times you need it and creating beneficial helpful situations that literally leverage you towards the achievements of your goals and dreams.The type of signals you have received in the past (knowingly or unknowingly), the signals you are receiving right now and the signals you will continue to receive as long as you live, are wide and varied.There is literally no end to the type of signals you can receive. However, to get you started, below are some of the most common types of signals.At times we find ourselves in the most wonderfully synchronistic situations, and the most coincidental circumstances, that seem just too good to be true! It's like the sun, stars and moon aligned in our favour. We think that we have been very lucky, to have been in the right place at the right time, heard the right information or met the right person. We think - If I had been a bit earlier or a bit later, or had decided to go somewhere else, or hadn't attended... I would not have been so lucky.However, it is no coincidence that these things occur. These are big, bold, wonderfully helpful signals.Musical Signals:Songs can often pop into your head at random times, seemingly from nowhere. You didn't hear the song on the radio, you don't love the song and hadn't chosen to hum or sing the song. At times, just 'out of the blue', you realise you are humming or singing a song. Most often, it is really just a few lines of a song.It is not the music that is signalling you, it's the lyrics. Be alert for songs popping into your unexpectedly. Pay attention. Research the song on the internet, find the lyrics, see if the lyrics relate in some way to your current circumstances, to the goal/dream you have set for yourself, to any challenges you may currently be facing.

People Signals:There is a saying that goes - people come into our lives "for a reason, a season or a lifetime".They may be friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, clients, business contacts, neighbours, former companions, complete strangers and the list goes on.People can pop up unexpectedly in your day. People you have not seen in a long time may call or show up, trying to reconnect with you. You may be introduced to someone in a way that seems quite unusual or coincidentally very helpful. Strangers may approach you or cross your path.In relation to your goals and dreams, people can act as signals. They are moving of their own accord, in alignment with their own beliefs, thoughts and feelings, but the unseen powerful dimension in our Universe which works in response to energy, is weaving all sorts of people, situations and happenings to guide you.Pay attention - people may suggest something to you, they may make a passing comment to you, they may question you... people are powerful signals and they can literally hand you opportunities on a silver platter that are powerful signals to propel you towards your goals and dreams if you are alert for them.It is worth noting that sometimes we are so fixed on what we want (which is great!), but also become fixed on 'how' we think we will achieve it (not so great!). Remember - our job is to focus on what we want, and let the signals show us 'how'. If we become blinkered to the only way we think it is possible to achieve our goal/dream, we may miss opportunities. People signals are a very good example of this. People that we may consider meaningless in the sense of achieving our goals and dreams, could actually be the very means by which we could achieve these things powerfully. Everyone we meet in life has something to share. What can you learn from them? What do they know? Who do they know? What can they offer you? What can you offer them? Keep an open mind.Animal Signals.Animals are powerful signals. These are known as animal totems.If animal images/symbols, encounters with actual live animals or dreams of animals repetitively show up in your life, in an unplanned and random way, you may be receiving a signal by way of animal totem.Each different animal has a very specific meaning. In relation to your goal or dream, animals can come to guide you on what you need to know, what you may need to remember, pay heed to or consider at that particular time in your life. This information is widely available online and in books and you can easily research the meaning of animal if you think you are receiving an animal totem signal.

In most cases, this process takes place without us being aware of.Now the question is: can we make consciously changes in our daily habits? How can we deliberately change our habits and overcome their resistance? Changes in our daily habits are not only possible, but also advisable to be done when we decide to make bigger changes in our lives.We firstly need to evaluate all the actions we are doing during the day, think about and decide which ones are good to be kept or even extended and which need to be replaced with better ones.

And when we awake we are not rested. We may have been thinking and dreaming about problems at work or in our personal lives, some may suffer sleep apnea, while outside sources such as loud parties next door or noisy neighbors or the couple in the next apartment who screamed at each other all night may have interrupted our sleep several times through the night.A body that is not rested means a mind that is not rested. It makes for a very difficult day, so do your best to get enough sleep.Set a certain time to go to bed and stick to it. Your body needs a 'pattern'; it needs to do certain things at the very same time each day.If you make time for 'you' and get to sleep at the same time each night, exercise every day and do what you can to eliminate external influences in our life so you can get quality sleep, you will awake rested and ready to go.You will feel much better and your life will go much better in return.

Make a plan.Skyscrapers are never built unless a plan has been prepared first. Your life is no different. A plan will help you set goals and goals are important. If you don't know where you are going you could end up going where you never wanted to go, so make a plan.There are short-term plans as well as long-term plans and you should make both.Begin with a short-term plan. What do you want to do tomorrow? Where do you want to go and how will you get there? What do you want to accomplish while you are there and why? Making such a plan will give you cause to think about things you have not considered? What do you want to do next week? Make a plan for the entire week, not just one day of the week.What about next month? What do you want to accomplish next month? Having a better idea will help you make the time to do that and you will begin to make better use of your time.Work your way up to a one-year plan. Where do you want to be one year from today? Why do you want to be there? How will you get there?The answer is one day at a time.
