Feel Confident

The importance of having and being self confident is talked about all the time.

But is it really that important?

Well let me tell you something. Confidence is the foundation to success, to achievement, to a sense of fulfilment. Confidence is the doorway to success. It is the entrance to the life that you want to lead and to the aspirations that you desire to have.

When you feel self confident you can boldly and courageously step forward and move ahead towards your ambitions, targets, objectives and goals. Again, it is the foundation to all achievements.

Read that again. I cannot emphasise enough how important it is.

A key element to getting and doing anything in life is self confidence. It is an essential part of a person's development and success, achievement and life as a whole.

How would you like to feel confident quickly and right now?

Here are 5 simple steps that will get you to feel self confident quickly:

1. Think of a specific situation where you want to feel confident. It could be work related or a personal event.

2. What has come to mind when you think about that situation? Are any of these thoughts familiar: "Oh, no! They can't ask me to do that." Or "I'll make a mess of things." Or "I'm really not up to this."

Pick one thought or picture that came to mind, one to focus on. No censoring. Feel whatever you are feeling. Allow that feeling to be there.

3. Now, ask yourself: "Am I willing to let go of this thought (picture or feeling)?" Are you willing to release the unconfident thought, feeling or picture that has come up?

By the way, if you said no, you are not willing to release that unconfident thought, feeling or picture, ask yourself: "Would I rather have this thought, (feeling or picture), or would I rather be free of it?"

You might say yes, or perhaps no. Either way, since you merely thought of the fact of getting rid of it, that alone gets the process of releasing started.

4. Now ask yourself: "When?" Here you are open to the invitation to let go of that thought (feeling or picture) NOW. So your response to when is, "Now."

5. Repetition is the mother of all skill. So repeat steps 1 through to 4 until you feel free of that particular feeling, thought or picture of un-confidence. Then go back and do the same process until all, or most of, the unconfident feelings have been released from your mind.

The idea here is not to hold on to the limiting beliefs of lacking self confidence. Release them, set them free and you, too, will be free.

Many people resort to cigarettes or alcohol to release their frustration, stress, or anxiety. What they do not realise is that their type of release is superficial. The underlying feeling or thought or pictures remain within.

However, using the above steps goes to work on your inner thoughts and feelings and sets you free of them over time once and for all. Cigarettes and alcohol do not do that.

This is a powerful way to set you free of any unwanted feelings or emotions. And the great news is that you can use this in any area of your life.

These steps are based on The Sedona Method, where you can be free of the blocks that hold you back.

Release, let go and live!
