I'm not the expert (that would be Alex), but just speaking for myself as a customer and user of paraliminals, I wonder if you might receive better results if you use your Self Esteem para with other paras to help you achieve a certain goal. One paraliminal that I consider really important in helping me achieve what I want is "You Deserve It." Sometimes what holds us back is that kind of negative self-talk you mention--and YDI, at least for me, knocks that out.
