six pillars and me

This is me:

Living consciously: 7/10 - better than ever; i see myself and others much more as they are, less as I imagine them to be.

Self-acceptance: 4/10 - also better than ever, but a long way to go. Particularly, i set unrealistically high goals.

- ok all of these are better than ever, and that's obviously a good, good thing.

Self-responsibility: 5/10 - I have big fears and procrastinations about "owning" the basics, such as finances, physical well-being, time management, and tedious tasks on the job or around the house. I'm not a totally lost cause, however, and I do take initiative around things that could improve my/my family's quality of life.

Self-assertiveness 5/10 - i could dig deeper on issues and explore what i really want from a situation or person(s). Taking initiative in this way and really understanding what I want to negotiate for, would help me be more assertive.

Purposeful living: 3/10 - i have a basic purpose to stay healthy, evolving, and employed, but as I think about a strategy that helps me fulfill a Maslowian hirearchy, I'm totally in the dark.

Personal integrity: 3/10 - as stated above, I make promises to myself and others that are not well thought-out. As a result, I 'rollover' on the vast majority of what I set out to do. Everything is negotiable and so very little gets done. I am able to also negotiate, mitigate or actually take responsibility for the concequences, however.



Overall, it looks like I average about 40% on the self-esteem scale.
