Becoming a Healthy Narcissist For The Win!

For most people this information is going to be shocking, since “narcissism” has gotten a bad rap in our society. But, here’s the truth: narcissism is an essential component of mature self- esteem. In fact, narcissistic behaviors are what protect our self esteem.

“Narcissistic” behaviors are self-interested behaviors that allow us to create a life we love.

These are behaviors that include:

• Paying attention to your needs

• Meeting those needs in a thoughtful way

• Holding yourself accountable

• Politely correcting yourself for judgment errors that end in undesirable results

They also include:

• Not tolerate being ignored

• Not tolerating harm of any kind

• Not tolerating harsh criticism

• Not tolerating excuses for destructive behavior

These are the self-interested offensive/ defensive behaviors that lead to a wonderful life….and that is the WIN we’re all looking for.

Learning how to live from a place of self-esteem is a process. Be kind & gentle with yourself as you’re learning this new way of “being” and email me if you have any questions!
