It is not "natural/habitual" since our natural state is not negative. We are not born with a negative state. As we grow up, we actually "train" ourselves to be negative. From experiences we have, through encounters with others, as a result of our so called failures. Your self esteem can certainly be transformed by listening to Paraliminals, or other techniques such as Sedona, opening up your awareness by giving you choices, to break you out of any limiting state.
