Dear friends, with this publication I conclude the description of the author's methodology for working with self-esteem "The Way to the Emerald City".
In the previous materials, I suggested that everyone who wants to improve their self-esteem prepare a special teaching material in their support - the Visualization Board “The Way to the Emerald City”. Now I will not return in detail to what was said in previous works, I will only remind you of the resources that we symbolically take on the road: this is an Intellectual and analytical resource (personified in the fairy-tale character of the Scarecrow), the resource of Love (personified in the Tin Woodman) and the resource presented today - Resource Will (associatively associated with the character of the "Cowardly" Leo, who nevertheless gathered at the right moment, demonstrating decisiveness, firmness, will). By analogy with this hero, we will strengthen our iron will.
The defining resource of this strategy – Resource of Will. And the methodical Compass of Happiness.
I believe the dear reader will agree with the indisputability of the fact that it is the will (that is, the determination to act) that determines the possibilities of acquiring human boundaries. Each of us knows for sure: one has only to make a volitional decision and firmly follow the direction taken, any heights are reached. We put this valuable point at the heart of our methodology. And we create a visual, methodical COMPASS. Our device, by analogy with a genuine one, will have 2 arrows: one of them is directed to the Emerald City, the other - to the personal Wheel of Life Balance. If your Wheel is moving smoothly and smoothly (implementing the plan of your progress towards the goal), the Compass keeps the right direction and helps you get closer to the Emerald City. If the Wheel "slips", the Compass can "demagnetize" and lead you on the wrong path. This is symbolic, but significant.
Your actions on the Render Board: By completing a small compass pattern with directional arrows and placing it on the manual, you will remind yourself of the route and keep the direction to the destination. Every week you will be able to "check" the Compass - is your route reliable and how is the progress being made? If the plan is fulfilled by you firmly, you are on the right track and the Emerald City is not far off …
To enhance the Volitional effect, I also recommend starting each morning with the following messages. (You can say them to yourself only when you wake up and not get out of bed yet.)
I have a firm intention to reach the cherished dimension - emerald personal representation
I will not deviate from the taken direction towards personal Balance, Harmony
I will master my Yellow Brick Road. No possible difficulties will break me
I know what I am striving for, and for the sake of a lofty goal I will be unbending and firm
The Emerald Dream inspires and supports me. The directional compass indicates the route. And the inner strength speeds up the implementation
And so on … You can replenish such volitional affirmations to achieve your goal yourself. But in general, the ones I have indicated are quite enough.
That's the whole technique, dear friends! It remains to complete the methodical manual "Board of Visualizations" and start the implementation process, that is, ACT. Remember - "The path to the stars always lies through thorns", there are no other roads, and let no difficulties on the way to the Emerald City force you to dodge or go back. Little girl Ellie got her way, can't we do the same?

The Main Enemy On The Path Of Self-love
Any attempt to love oneself will sooner or later collide nose to nose with the voice of unrecognized subpersonalities - the voice of an inner critic who always grumbles, doubts, blames and looks for shortcomings in everything. It so happened that we live in an evaluating society - from the first minutes of birth we are evaluated on the Apgar scale, after which there is no way to hide from the gaze and stern comments of parents, doctors, educators, teachers, and coaches.

Non-value As Self-destruction, The Right To Be Assessed As A Path To Health
In recent years, psychology has brought us a fashion for valuelessness. It is not “You acted badly”, but “I took your act this way”; it is not “You broke the agreement”, but “I was so angry”; it’s not “Your coffee is disgusting - it has mouse poop in it”, but “I am so impressionable and sensitive that I was upset to see mouse dung in your wonderful coffee”.
