<ul><li>Loving parents can sometimes unintentionally hurt their children's self-esteem.</li><li>Overprotecting, injecting guilt, criticizing, and slinging sarcastic comments will likely hurt self-esteem and lead to defiance.</li><li>The more you communicate in positive ways, and are accountable for your negative behaviors, the better your child will feel. </li></ul>

Overprotection Parents 

As parents, we try our best to foster positive <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/self-esteem">self-esteem </a>in our children. Having strong self-esteem encourages us to push through challenges, try new things, and believe in ourselves. Self-esteem is highly influential in how we see ourselves, which shapes our behaviors and decisions.

Self-steem 

1. Overprotecting Constantly shielding a child from challenges and obstacles can prevent them from developing <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/confidence">confidence </a>and a sense of competence. Overprotecting can also limit a child's opportunities to explore, learn, and make mistakes, which are all important for their growth and development.Moreover, overprotecting children can lead to feelings of <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/anxiety">anxiety </a>and insecurity, as they may not feel prepared to face the world on their own. It can also create a sense of dependence and a lack of independence, which can be problematic as children transition into adulthood.

Here are four types of self-esteem-sapping parental behaviors.

It’s one thing to ask a child how they would feel if they were in your shoes or someone else’s in a given situation. Too often, however, parents push this to the limit and try to make their children feel guilty because of their thoughts, feelings, or actions. Parents who use guilt to control their children run the risk of alienating them.

2. Injecting Guilt 

Being criticized by a parent can be emotionally challenging, especially if it is done in a harsh or demeaning manner. Critical comments can erode a person's self-esteem and sense of worth and can cause feelings of sadness, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/anger">anger </a>, or frustration. It can also lead to a decrease in <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/motivation">motivation </a>and a lack of confidence in one's abilities.

3. Critizing Harshly 

You are using sarcasm if you say things you don’t mean and imply the opposite of what you’re saying through your tone of voice. An example would be saying something like, “Oh, aren’t you smart,” when your child makes a poor choice. The use of sarcasm hurts children because it feels shaming. Putting a child down through sarcasm creates an obstacle for parents trying to communicate effectively.

4. Speaking With Sarcasm 

It’s easy to say, “I just won’t do that anymore,” and still fall into the pattern of repeating these problematic behaviors. Occasional slips may occur. When they do, address these negative behaviors with your child.

Losses In Self-Esteem May Trigger Gains In Defiance

As I explain in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Days-Less-Defiant-Child-Breakthrough-dp-0306829800/dp/0306829800/ref=dp_ob_image_bk">10 Days to a Less Defiant Child </a>, as a result of being exposed to the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/parenting">parenting </a>behaviors discussed above, children may lash out later on in ways that are emotionally hurtful and upsetting. This can include tantrums, expressing resentments, frequently being argumentative, and defying reasonable requests. Many children and teens have admitted tome that these negative emotions and behaviors they engage in after feeling hurt by their parents.

Less Defiant Child 

Craig had made very strong progress in relating to his son in a far less critical manner—until one night when Tom and Craig were at a soccer awards banquet, and Tom sarcastically mocked him for looking down when he received his award. I coached Craig not to beat himself up, and he was determined to continue to be less controlling and more open. With this in mind, Craig approached Tom and said, “Tom, I <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/forgiveness">apologize </a>for being so sarcastic and critical of you. Seeing you up there, getting that award, made me feel honored to be your father.”

Reflect On Your Negative Behaviors 

Your ways of interacting with your child play a huge influence in shaping how they develop self-value in their life. The more you communicate in positive ways, and model being accountable for your negative behaviors, the more you can influence your child to do the same—and support them in having strong self-esteem.

Final Thoughts 

Even the most loving and caring parents may inadvertantly harm their kids.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Hurting Your Child's Self-Esteem: 4 Blindspots

Self-identity refers to the recognition, understanding, and categorization of oneself as a distinct individual with a unique combination of traits, characteristics, roles, and affiliations.- Components: It encompasses various elements, including personal traits, roles (such as student, friend, or employee), cultural or social affiliations, and a sense of continuity and consistency over time.- Dynamic Nature:Self-identity is dynamic and can evolve over the lifespan as individuals experience personal growth, life events, and changes in their social environment.

Self-Identity

Self-concept is a specific aspect of self-identity. It involves the perceptions, beliefs, and evaluations an individual holds about their own abilities, attributes, and worth. <ul><li>It includes how one sees oneself in terms of competence, appearance, intelligence, and other relevant domains. Self-concept can be influenced by personal experiences and feedback from others.</li></ul>A person's self-concept can significantly impact their behavior, choices, and interactions. Positive self-concept tends to contribute to confidence and well-being, while a negative self-concept may lead to self-doubt and insecurity.

Self-Concept

- Self-identity is a broader concept that encompasses various aspects of one's existence, including roles, affiliations, and a sense of continuity. Self-concept is a more focused element, specifically dealing with how one perceives oneself in terms of various attributes.- While self-identity provides a holistic view of the self, self-concept hones in on the evaluative and cognitive aspects of personal perception.

Self-Identity Vs Self-Concept

- Both concepts are interconnected; one's self-concept contributes to their overall self-identity. How individuals see themselves in specific areas (self-concept) contributes to the larger understanding of who they are (self-identity). Understanding both self-identity and self-concept is crucial in psychology as they play pivotal roles in shaping behavior, emotions, and overall well-being.

In this episode, we explore the Law of Assumption/Attraction's core principles: attracting, creating, and allowing. We shift focus from future goals to embodying our desired selves in the present, incorporating Eckhart Tolle's "presence" concept. Embracing uncertainty, inspired by Deepak Chopra, we align with Abraham Hicks to emphasize positive vibrations. Drawing from Wayne Dyer, we project our intentions into the future and engage our senses, echoing Joseph Murphy's subconscious mind insights. Discover the interconnectedness of thoughts with Deepak Chopra, bridging the Newtonian and Quantum worlds. Boost confidence through Tony Robbins' beliefs and ignite passion with Sadhguru's focus on purpose. Join us in understanding the power of thoughts as tools, creators, and the artists of our reality.  Notes:  Visualize as the person you are or want:Make it about embodying your desired self.Avoid framing it as a future goal; see it as your present state.Incorporate Eckhart Tolle's idea of "presence" – be fully in the moment during visualization.Embrace the unknown:Be comfortable with uncertainty and not having all the answers.Draw inspiration from Deepak Chopra's teachings on embracing uncertainty as a pathway to infinite possibilities.Getting out of your current situation isn’t your job:Focus on creating the desired future rather than escaping the present.Align with the Law of Attraction – as taught by Abraham Hicks – focus on the vibration of what you want, not the lack of it.Dwell on the future as a present fact:Project yourself into the future mentally, as if it's already happening.Integrate teachings from Wayne Dyer about the power of intention – act as if your intentions are already a reality.Imagine feelingly with your heart:Connect emotionally to the envisioned conditions in your life.Connect with the heart-centered teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion in your visualization.Make the imaginary act vivid and sensory:Create a mental experience so real that it feels like it's bound to happen.Follow Joseph Murphy's teachings on the subconscious mind – vivid imagery and sensory experiences impress the subconscious.Avoid reinforcing negative stories before sleep:Be mindful of your thoughts before bedtime; don't reinforce negative narratives.Utilize Louise Hay's approach of affirmations – replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations for a more empowering mindset.Various emotions vibrate on different frequencies:Higher coherent frequencies for positive emotions; lower, erratic frequencies for survival emotions.Integrate teachings from Dr. David Hawkins – higher emotions like love and joy resonate at a higher frequency, attracting positive experiences.Mind's inability to distinguish between imagination and reality:Understand that the mind may not differentiate between what's imagined and what's real.Explore the teachings of Ram Dass on the nature of consciousness – understanding that the mind is a tool, and consciousness is beyond it.You already possess what is in your mind:Acknowledge the power of thoughts and their manifestation.Merge with the teachings of Deepak Chopra on the interconnectedness of everything – what you desire already exists in the unified field of consciousness.Newtonian world vs. Quantum world:Material vs. energy; certainty vs. uncertainty and predictability.Reflect on the holographic universe theory – Michael Talbot's idea that reality is a hologram, blurring the lines between the Newtonian and Quantum worlds.Confidence comes with belief:The more profound your belief, the more confident you become.Embrace Tony Robbins' teachings on the power of state – when you believe in your vision, you naturally exude confidence.Be obsessed with what you want:

024: TWIN LAWS OF TRANSFORMATION

Emotional Evolution

Life is devoid of meaning. What is the purpose of existence if we ultimately perish and dissipate into the vastness of the universe? All memories fade, all emotions vanish, and all achievements crumble as we near the end of our life's journey. If everything ultimately goes back to nothing, why bother starting? If all structures will eventually crumble to dust, then why start building?Whether one is a saint, a serial killer, or just an average Joe, we all meet our demise eventually. So why bother doing good if the outcome is the same? If life holds no meaning, then why live?

Nihilism

Imagine if you died and were reborn without memories of your past life. Then, you would live the same life and eventually die once more, only to be reborn again and repeatedly live the same life. This is the concept of Eternal Recurrence. Would you want your mundane life to be the one lived forever by the next "you" after your rebirth, or would you rather live your life with maximum power and authenticity so that you can fully enjoy life without any regrets? As humans, we have an inherent desire: to live life fully so that when our life reaches its maximum potential, we can leave satisfied.

Desire

When will we feel that our life is valuable and full of meaning? It's when we can feel satisfied in the midst of death, when we truly realize that there's nothing more possible to achieve. To live is to die satisfied.From the moment we are born, all our efforts are aimed towards building up to that final crescendo, towards the eventual conclusion, where we can reach the highest climax and experience ultimate satisfaction. It is the single shortest moment of epitome in satisfaction which will be abruptly interrupted by our demise will be when our requiem ends perfectly.

To Live Is To Die Satisfied

How can we attain the highest possible value of our lives so that we can reach ultimate satisfaction? According to Nietzsche, it is by overcoming all human obstacles and standing on the hill of solitude as the transcended human being, the Übermensch, that we truly acquire the most life-affirming will and the greatest value in living.

Value In Life

However, the idea of eternal recurrence is only fictional and not a true afterlife scenario. Without proper evidence, let us assume that there is no afterlife or any forms of resurrection.If this is the case, then after one dies, there is nothing left remaining. If the universe dies, there is no continuation to anything and everything ceases to exist. Therefore, it is impossible for any inherent meaning to exist if everything "meaningful" will soon return to its "meaningless" state.If you feel anxious about this idea, don't you think it is absurd that our worries are never be answered?

Copium 

It is the greatest absurdity of life (the Absurd) that we crave meaning to justify our own existence, when in reality, there is none.Instead of searching tirelessly for a reason to live, why not just live? If we think life being meaningless is a problem, we will feel anxious about it always.Let's take the opposite approach: accept that life is inherently meaningless. Then, the reality that life is meaningless will no longer affect our mental wellbeing.Have you ever danced just to reach a particular brick on the stage? We dance because we love to dance. This applies to life as well.

Absurdism 

Absurdism helps us deal with existential crises, but when our fate turns against us, and makes our lives unbearable. We may lose the will to live. We crave meaning to endure the suffering when we are at our lowest, but when that encouragement is lost, what is left to keep us going?This is the very reason life inflicts suffering upon us and forces us to feel hopeless. By persisting through the pain and even finding joy in it, we become stronger than fate itself.This denial of fate and rebellion against the idea of giving up on a meaningless and painful existence is what gives our lives value.

Challenging Fate

Imagine carrying a boulder for eternity like Sisyphus. Would you think this mundane life would be enjoyable? This punishment by the gods to Sisyphus is so harsh that one would normally feel hopeless in carrying on. However, it is exactly for this reason that Sisyphus is happy.As he embraces the mundaneness to its fullest, he works against the gods' favor, making the punishment not a punishment for him, and showing that the gods have failed in their attempts to make Sisyphus hopeless. And thus he's happy.It is when we endure the impossible that we truly shine and finally become the Übermensch.

The Myth Of Sisyphus

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Why try to live absurdly when it is meaningless? It is precisely because life is absurd and meaningless that continuing on and rebelling against it becomes absurd. By doing so, we become more absurd than the Absurd itself. We have triumphed over life.This is the single greatest achievement any human being can aspire to: by rebelling against meaninglessness, we become even more absurd than the Absurd. And the longer we remain in this state, the more valuable our lives become.When we strive for greatness and aim to become the Übermensch, we ultimately become the embodiment of the Absurd.

Life Value And Absurd

This view is echoed by Sartre, who upholds the simple view that the value of life is the accumulation of all our actions that we have performed in this life.Without a reason to live, one may imagine that their being is non-existent – that it should not even exist here, right now. However, undeniably, we do feel our surroundings, such as the wind and the cold. Human experience is the most concrete evidence that we are living in the present moment, but it is also the fastest to fade away once the experience is over.This is the lightness of living, for the authenticity of living fades away fast.

The Lightness Of Living

When we experience life to the fullest, the blank sheet of life may be filled with colors to its highest potential.For when we stop dwelling on the past or future and focus on the present, we can experience and enjoy every moment completely and wholeheartedly. By being like Sisyphus, we not only resist the punishment of the Absurd, but we also fill our sheet of life with colors and paint. It is only when we have fully covered the sheet in color that we create a masterpiece of our own life.We are the creators of our own masterpieces, and we should enjoy the process of creating.

Human Experience And Value In Living

When all of our human experiences are finally accumulated and the final note of our requiem is reached, we will have finally overcome all possible obstacles as the Übermensch. We will have lived the most absurd life against the Absurd, and our lives will have been filled with the highest value possible, reaching its climax.It is when the meaning in living may seem unattainable, we make it appear as if we have achieved it in the face of harsh reality, so that as our requiem comes to an end, we will leave satisfied, while pointing a middle-finger to life itself and embracing death's warm hug.

What is the purpose of life?

When individuals lack a clear sense of purpose or motivation, they may struggle to maintain the focus and persistence required for self-discipline.

1. Low Motivation

The preference for immediate rewards over delayed, long-term benefits can undermine self-discipline. This tendency is often associated with impulsive behavior.

2. Instant Gratification

Without well-defined and meaningful goals, individuals may struggle to establish a clear roadmap, making it challenging to stay disciplined.

3. Lack of Goal Clarity

A fear of failure or perfectionism can lead to procrastination or avoidance of tasks, hindering the development of self-discipline.

4. Fear of Failure

Ineffective time management skills can result in disorganization and a lack of structure, making it difficult to prioritize and complete tasks.

5. Poor Time Management:

Difficulty managing emotions, particularly negative ones like stress or anxiety, can undermine self-discipline, as individuals may turn to avoidance behaviors.

6. Emotional Regulation

A lack of a supportive and structured environment, or exposure to distractions, can contribute to challenges in maintaining self-discipline.

7. Environmental Influences

Some individuals may face difficulties in executive functions, such as planning, organizing, and initiating tasks, which are essential for self-discipline.

8. Executive Functioning Challenges

Addressing the lack of self-discipline often involves a combination of strategies, including setting clear goals, improving time management skills, building motivation, and addressing any underlying emotional or cognitive challenges. Developing self-discipline is a gradual process that can be enhanced with practice, consistency, and a supportive environment. If persistent, seeking guidance from a psychologist or coach can provide personalized strategies for improvement.

Conclusion 

The lack of self-discipline in psychology can be influenced by various psychological and environmental factors

Imagine having a superpower that guides you to what truly matters. This superpower is the 80/20 principle. It reveals that a small part of your efforts (20%) leads to the majority of your success (80%). Concentrate on the things that truly count!

Do What Really Matters

Use this 80/20 rule for time management. Focus on the most important 20% of your tasks to achieve more success while working less. You don't have to work all the time. Just be smart about it. Find the important things and do more of those. That way, you can get a lot done without working too much.

Work Smart, Not Always Hard

This isn't just about work. You can even use this rule in your personal life too. By choosing wisely how you spend your time, you can make a big difference in your happiness. Find the 20% of activities that make you happiest! Spend more time on those things, and your life gets better.

Works for Your Personal Life Too

Life can be a bit tricky. You can't control everything. So, be smart about what you can control, like your habits and important tasks, and focus on that.

Be Realistic

The goal is to work less but smarter. If you stop doing things that aren't that important, you get more free time. But don't use that time to do more work. Use it to relax, be creative, and do things you love. Taking breaks and relaxing are important too!

More Free Time for Fun

Remember, the point isn't to work more. It's to work less but smarter. Use it to take care of yourself, relax, and do things that really matter to you!

2. Non-believers

<ul><li>Philosophical Skepticism: Philosophical skepticism or agnosticism may lead individuals to withhold belief in God due to the inherent uncertainties and complexities associated with the concept.</li><li>Religious Upbringing: Some individuals may have been raised in a non-religious or secular environment, where the concept of God was not emphasized, leading to a lack of belief.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Logical or Moral Objections: Some people may have logical or moral objections to certain aspects of religious teachings, doctrines, or the concept of a deity, which can contribute to their disbelief.</li></ul> <ul><li>Alternative Worldviews: Individuals may adopt alternative worldviews, such as secular humanism, atheism, or agnosticism, which do not include belief in God as a fundamental component.</li></ul> <ul><li>Unanswered Prayers or Suffering: Experiences of personal suffering or unanswered prayers may lead some individuals to question or abandon their belief in a benevolent and all-powerful God.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Personal Experiences: Negative or absent personal experiences with religion or religious institutions can contribute to a lack of belief in God. Instances of perceived injustice, hypocrisy, or harm caused by religious organizations may lead some to reject the idea of God.</li></ul>

The psychology of believers and nonbelievers varies widely and is influenced by factors such as upbringing, culture, personal experiences, and cognitive processes. Believers often find comfort, purpose, and community in their faith, while nonbelievers may derive meaning from secular sources, emphasizing reason and evidence. It's important to understand the psychology of believers and nonbelievers. By doing so, we can gain insight into people and ourselves, leading to personal growth

Understanding the Psychology of Believers and Nonbelievers

Remember: Be open-minded to different beliefs and opinions. Recognize the influence of culture and upbringing on beliefs. Empathize with others' perspectives.

Reminder 

Both groups can share common values, morals, and a search for understanding, albeit through different frameworks. Psychological research explores these dynamics, revealing the multifaceted nature of belief and disbelief.
