It's a vicious trio that can often get us down and stop us from getting where we really want to be.
If your energy is low you don't feel good about yourself and can't be bothered doing tasks you know you ought to get to.
So you have no motivation and without motivation how do you get yourself out of this 'slump'?
So... little energy, little motivation and little self-esteem translates to little or no progress.
With the ebbs and flows of life it's inevitable that our cycle will include some down time. But how do we stop these moments from halting any of the momentum that may have begun?
I like to use a concept that I developed while riding my bike. A 21 speed mountain bike means there are not too many inclines where I wouldn't be able to pedal. So I would keep telling myself "no matter how steep or how tired i get, just keep pedalling. Drop a gear and JUST KEEP PEDALLING!"
SO when motivation is low, self-esteem is waning or your energy needs a boost, just keep pedaling!
Do something no matter how minimal it seems as it will lead to something. Something small or something profound... something minor or something great... JUST KEEP PEDALLING!

Assertiveness and Aggression - What's the Difference?
A simple defintion of the difference between assertiveness and aggression could be that in being assertive you stand up for yourself, being aggressive you try to put down others.
An assertive boss will get the respect and action from their staff, an aggressive boss may get some short term results but could lead to tension and disharmony in the long run.
The line between assertiveness and aggression and often be blurred particularly by the young or those new to positions of responsibility.
My advice would be to live by the rule of respect. Try to add value to those around you at every attempt and be accountable for every action you take.

What is the impact of media on self-esteem?
The self-esteem jigsaw is comprised of a number of factors:
Having a goal
In anything you do your mind needs a "reason why" and the better this reason the easier it will be to go for the goal.
High Energy
If your energy is low, your feeling sick or in pain you don't want to do anything. A healthy body, healthy mind means high energy to put towards your task.
Focus
If your mind is jumping from one thought to another, distracting you from the "now" it is near impossible to get anything done or at least done well. So bringing your focus back to center is another piece of the success puzzle.
Positive Thinking
We are back to 'self talk' here. It's ok to question things, but it needs to be done in a way that is empowering and moves you forward.
Combine these together and you will have high self-esteem. The impact of media on self-esteem is quite often detrimental as commercials often make you desire goals that are unrealistic or not true to your nature, new media makes us jump focus from one thing to another and poor eating habits as a result of product marketing can lower our energy levels.
As you may judge from my thoughts I think the impact of media on self-esteem is a big fat negative.

Ten Techniques for Relaxation - Mind and Body, Heart and Soul
Thinking, internal conversations, monkey chatter, anxiety, pressure, stress... whatever you like to call it, it doesn't help in relaxing your mind.
Work, sport, strenuous physical exercise and activities don't help in relaxing your body.
So here are my top ten technique for relaxation:
1. Sleep - plenty of pre-midnight sleep offers relaxation for mind and body. Notes: don't eat heavy foods too close to bed time and write down any thoughts in your head so they don't linger in your mind as you try to sleep.
2. Hot Bath - an excellent way to relax muscles. Add to the bath your favourite sodium carbonate crystals and bliss out for 15 to 20 minutes. (Should probably preceed 1. Sleep).
3. Meditation - sit quietly (a quiet location helps at first) and focus on something like your breath. Allow thoughts to linger but don't analyse them and they will slowly lessen.
4. Walk the Dog - doesn't necessarily have to be with a dog, but I find walking with no real purpose helps clear my mind.
5. Massage - oil relaxation massage until you're almost dazed and drooling...
6. Accupuncture - maybe it's just me but, most times i've had accupuncture i've fallen asleep.
7. Read a Book - an engaging, but not too exciting book.
8. Stretch - stretching lengthens muscles and helps relieve tension.
9. Sit in silence - finding a location that is as devoid of noise as much as possible can be so relaxing on it's own.
10. Music - mellow, melodic, peaceful and inspiring music.

Anywhere online you can get a copy of atkins diet
Copy of atkins diet can be found online, but it is basically a four phase, initial carbohydrate reduction diet.
Phase 1 - To put it plainly, is a low carb, no alchohol, minimal caffeine, lots of meats and lots of water.
Phase 2 - Each week of this phase, the diet increase the carbohydrate level by 5 grams by adding one more food from the hierarchy. The hierarchy is a carb ladder list.
Phase 3 - Almost at the final stage and your goal weight so this is where you add carbs to the point that you stop losing weight which tells you to back off a bit.
Phase 4 - Is where you continue and maintain your weight. Reduce carbs if your weight goes back on, but basically it's about good eating which it should be anyway.
You can get the book or find yourself a copy of atkins diet but, ultimately, it all comes back to your mental attitude. You are your thoughts and if your thoughts lead you to poor food choices, poor lifestyle decisions or poor financial options you wont run at your optimum potential.
If you click on the link below you will discover more about ways to improve your weight, financial status, health as well as relationships from your mental choices... if you are willing to that is.

Why is nutrition important? Let's Start with the Obvious
So, why is nutrition important?
Let's compare your body to something I have an interest in... racing dirt bikes!
To run at peak performance the fuel that you put in a dirtbike has to be of high quality, high octane and contain as minimal contaminants as possible. You could say that a dirtbike's fuel is how it is nourished... it's nutrition.
If the fuel is a low octane it won't burn with as high energy so the piston wont spin as fast, if there are contanimants within the fuel it could block up injectors or fuel lines and if it is of general poor quality then your bike might splutter, backfire or come to a complete hault.
Back to you... so why is nutrition important? Because like the dirtbike, the fuel you feed your body will help determine your engines performance. High carbs not used efficiently turn to fat. Cholesterol can clog ur fuel lines (arteries) and exhaust system (ahemm, I'll assume you get the picture).
So why is nutrition important? If you want to work efficiently both physically and mentally then the right fuel in means the right performance out.
Ultimately though it all comes back to your mental attitude. You are your thoughts and if your thoughts lead you to poor food choices, poor lifestyle decisions or poor financial options you wont run at your optimum potential.
