What I can do is fortify my model of coached recovery such that anybody can enhance their essense of self-respect by watching how others approach their own notion of self-respect. I suggest that the pursuit of self-esteem is ill-timed for any person not well grounded in their own self-respect. Also, other-respect is impossible for those with low self-respect, since they lack a solid frame of reference to operate from. Violence ensues and is never respectful.

> RodRod,
I don't know if these things are relevant to your search, but, in addition to what the others have said, I would add:
Feeding your body and mind in a healthy and nutritious manner
Enjoying your own company (being able to be alone and not feel lonely)
Being aware of, and accepting, your faults, weakness and idiocyncracies while acknowledging and applauding your strengths and positive attributes (nobody's perfect, but nobody is a failure either)
