Hi Webbers,
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. My weekend could not have come quick enough this week. I work hard at my sales job all week. Have you ever had one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right. I never like to throw in the towel, by Friday I was done after a 45 hour work week. Most know I also perform as a Coach. I find it so fulfilling working with people. I enjoy building my practice and never feel like throwing in the towel. I also work just as hard in my practice. I recruit new coaches and coach. Besides that I am always working to improve some skill.
This week has been my golf swing and I have to say on a positive note. I have it to where it is predictable. Now it is time to hit the driving range and test it. My problem was I could slice the ball and if not that I would top it and snap my driver what an ugly swing. It may not be pretty today but it is predictable. Don't expect to see me on the PGA anytime soon. However not having to buy any

I have a four day work week I took Friday to work on the doll house. I can't wait to see it complete.
The Link between Low Self-Esteem and Depression
There are a lot of people who struggle with confidence issues, but there are those whose struggle goes much deeper than their confidence level. Those with low self-esteem seem to be more likely to struggle with depression. So are low self-esteem and depression linked and if so, how?
What Is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem refers to someone's level of self-worth and self-respect. It goes much deeper than just confidence. It comes down to how that person feels about him or herself as a person.
Depression is a feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or despondency that is usually long lasting and affects the quality of life of the person suffering.
How Are They Connected?
Often, people who have low self-esteem tend to also struggle with depression. It goes both ways, however. Depression itself can also lead to low self-esteem. It is quite common for someone who is struggling with one of these issues, especially over a period of time, to struggle with the other as well.
Why Are They Connected?
When someone does not feel that they are worth anything, or when they show a lack of respect for themselves, this can lead to depression. On the other hand, a person that struggles with depression can eventually turn the depression around on themselves, and it can weigh on their self-esteem.
Vulnerability
In either situation, the link ultimately happens because the person is very vulnerable not only to outside influence, but also to themselves. Someone who has feelings of worthlessness will understandably be very vulnerable to the pull of depression. Someone who is depressed may feel so low that they begin to blame themselves.
A Vicious Cycle
Once someone has entered this state of low self-esteem and depression, it often becomes a cycle. Especially for low self-esteem, these feelings often become self-affirming because the person does not feel worthy of the work it would take to better themselves, which only leads to an overall worsened situation.
The Weight of It All
For friends and loved ones, the inability to “just snap out of it” is not understandable. The fact is that
Can the Cycle Be Broken?
With patience, understanding, and the affirmation of love from the people around them, the cycle of low self-esteem and depression can be broken. Expect it to take time and work, and you might need to consider professional help in some situations, but the cycle can be broken.
The link between low self-esteem and depression is strong. The vulnerability and feelings of hopelessness bring on a vicious cycle that only feeds into itself, worsening these feelings of worthlessness and depression. There is hope, however, and with the right kind of help, anyone can come back.
Well there you have it. Interesting to think? I have family that suffers from depression and I can say I never really understood it until recently. Years ago I acted very negatively about it. Now I try to understand and not judge. Please notice the try. Old habits are hard to break.
