The beauty-themed articles in the April 2006 O are useful. Several pages are short stories from people who have had body issues but have learned to get over them and love the “imperfection.” I always enjoy reading personal stories.
“Beauty and the Bitch” talks about your inner voice, the one that doesn’t allow you to like [...]

OK, I’ve finished the self-esteem bits of the March 2001 issue. I’ll go back to the rest of the issue once I’m finished with my LO dilemma (competition from another blog….or self-perceived competition from another blog).
I have to say this issue has helped me a lot. Mostly with self-esteem, you have to learn [...]
Oprah Knows Self-Esteem

In the last column of the self-esteem issue (March 2001), Oprah tells a story from her childhood when she went way over the top on a book report, and was publicly acknowledged in class by her teacher. The teacher went on to say that everyone should put in as much effort as Oprah did. Needless [...]
Views from Four Women

Instead of doing one O Interview this month, Oprah talks to four different women (”phenomenal women”) about self-esteem: Toni Morrison, Gloria Steinem, Christiane Amanpour, and Marion Jones. It’s interesting to have the four different takes–these women aren’t psychological experts, but they are successful, and being successful does take a bit of self-esteem. [...]
Take a Risk, You Baby!

You know how sometimes you read an article and the subject really speaks to you? Well, after reading an interview with David K. Reynolds, Ph.D. about self-esteem, I felt he was speaking directly to me. What did he say? “Babybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby!”
The article in question is “The Radical Road to Self-Esteem.” Reynolds teaches a theory called Constructive [...]
Thinking About Self-Esteem

It’s a nice, short, 2-question “Something to Think About” in the self-esteem issue (vol. 2 iss. 3), which is nice because I don’t think my self-esteem could handle a bunch of questions. Let’s get to it:
The intro paragraph claims that if you want to change the way you feel about yourself, change the way you [...]
Getting Over Myself
Posted in Dilemma-LO, Dr. Phil, Self-Esteem, vol. 2 iss. 3, tagged Dr. Phil, o magazine, Self-Esteem, vol. 2 iss. 3 on May 6, 2008 | No Comments »
I haven’t been around for a few days–I’m sorry for that. Part of it’s because I’m still trying to fit this project in with some everyday work. The other reason is that I’m still licking some wounds from being kicked to the curb (figuratively) by Dr. Phil.
In the self-esteem issue (March 2001), Dr. Phil takes [...]
Not Stuck, Just Looking for Validation

I haven’t been around for a couple of days. I’ll be the first to admit that some of it’s due to procrastination (though somewhere in my building, there’s a person who practices piano for hours at a time. I’ve heard the improvement, and every time I hear the ivories, I think it’s time for me [...]
