"5 Things to Do When You Feel Insecure"

Compliments of psychcentral.com

German psychoanalyst Eric Fromm said, 'The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.'

1. Consider it beautiful.
Insecurity - vulnerability of spirit- is essentially humility, which is a divine quality.
2. Read your self-esteem file.
It's a collection of anything anyone has ever said, written, indicated that can be categorized as positive.
3. Avoid people you feel insecure around.
Compile a ton of excuses to have on hand. You have to protect yourself.
4. Surround yourself with supportive people.
They remind us of what is unique and good about us. Those trusted few are the voices of truth.
5. Know it's invisible.
You figure everyone can see that you're insecure. And that actually makes you feel more insecure. But here's the wonderful truth. No one can see your insides but you.

Refreshing point of view :) Feels good knowing everyone suffers from insecurity at one time or another. It also feels good to have a get out of jail card or two.
