ABSTRACT
Review the description of the Cycle of Experience on pages 108–116 in the book Enhancing Self Esteem, paying particular attention to the last stages of the cycle—contact, affirmation, and withdrawal. These later phases often are not given full attention in Western culture. Read the section “Stilling the Mind as well (pages 140–141). When you have completed this, continue with the next activity. This activity will help you attend to contact and affirmation, helping you to absorb your positive experiences more fully.
