Personal Self Confidence Development
Posted on December 6, 2010
For most of us self confidence can not really be explained. It is never easy to fully describe what it’s like to be confident. Self confidence is a state of being. It is a bit like being in love – you can’t really explain how you know you are, you just know. You also know that it is a state that you need to aquire if you ever want to succeed at anything worthwhile in life.
Self confidence begins with trust. It is trusting in your own abilities, strengths and attributes. It is the ability to take action and succeed. It is also the ability to take action and fail without allowing the failure to reflect badly on your own internal self of identity.
The true essence of self confidence lies in faith and belief. The belief in your own abilities. It is having a sense of self worth and feeling no less than anyone else. Self confidence means that no matter what happens you know that can deal with it. It is really having a sense of Self. Knowing that you are OK just as you are, and knowing that your imperfections are part of what makes up “you”.
So what leads to a lack of confidence?
Well, each of us have a self-protection mechanism built into us, and although this is much needed, it can cause untold damage in other areas of our lives. There is a self protection program that is hot-wired into the brain and energy system of every living thing. Its role is to protect us. It protects us from dangerous situations by accessing memories and reminding us of the previous discomfort!
Let me explain with an example. If you touch a hot coal you get burned and you know not to touch it again – your self-protection mechanism kicks in. If you encounter a red-hot coal in the future you keep your hands and body far enough away so you don’t feel the burning sensation and the pain associated with it. Your subconscious mind programs into your brain the fear of getting too close to hot coals. This memory, or just the fear and pain connected to it, is immediately evoked and sent to the conscious mind by the subconscious when it feels you are in danger of getting burnt. This mechanism, for self-preservation, has protected you from an infant. However, as we will see, it can work against in a myriad of ways.
Let’s look at one. For example at some previous point in your life you may have tried your hand at something that was completely new and alien to you. You tried and you failed! Perhaps your peers, family, parents friends or even complete strangers ridculed you and laughed at yur efforts. This may have embarrassed you and made you feel inadequate. Your subconscious mind stored and filed this information in exactly the same way a computer does and can access it in the same way. These are neural networks in the brain that fire in sequence and send electrical impulses to the body telling it to release certain chemicals (which produce emotional responses). A neural connection is made between the memory of the event and the emotion you felt at the time. When faced with a similar circumstance in the future you will have problems. The subconscious mind immediately activates the schema and the neural network begins to fire. Thus the subconscious mind replays the memory and the original emotions are evoked in order to protect you! This is done purely so that you do not feel belittled again.
For example, you may have tried to paint a picture. Your friends around you laughed and ridiculed your efforts. This caused you embarrassment and the feeling of being ostracized like the “odd man out”. You lacked the approval of your peers. The subconscious mind immediately stored this information in its memory banks ready to be replayed in the future. 20 years later you still have a desire to paint but won’t even go to a night class to learn because the thought of painting brings forth the emotions of disapproval, embarrassment and fear. The subconscious mind replays the emotions associated with the old memory even if you can’t recall the actual event ever having happened. Your subconscious mind is, in effect, saying “don’t paint or you’ll feel like this again!”.
Usually such emotional memories stem back to childhood from the time when you were most impressionable but not always. You can just as easily encounter such problems when you are an adult and the key to protecting yourself from such negative influences is to develop a better sense of yourself and build your confidence. This is at the very core of all personal development and self improvement techniques!
In reality you have no idea what the outcome will be when you start something new . As an adult, you should be able to try new things without the fear of what ridicule, or condemnation from others, would do to your confidence.
Self confidence is having the ability to feel the fear and do it anyway. In reality you have no idea what the outcome will be when you perform a task that is new to you. By developing your confidence however you are much more likely to expect a positive outcome. Should you not have the outcome you desire you are then capable of looking at the situation realistically, determining what you need to learn and develop in order to succeed at it or at least be able to accept the fact that your are not suited to the activity without “freaking out” about it.
Many people believe that you are either born with confidence or you are not. The truth is we are all born confident! You cried when you wanted something and believed you were so important that you would get it. You tried to walk several times while falling knowing that eventually you would get it. This is confidence. Unfortunately this kind of confidence is usually programmed out of us but it is your NATURAL sate. It’s time to get it back.
Firstly, you should be kind to yourself. Don’t expect perfection. Do you think Tiger Woods got a hole in one the first time he played golf? Although he may have been born with an innate ability at this sport chances are that the first time he played he was terrible at it!
The thing that builds your confidence is trying things that you haven’t done before. Try to do something that scares you. Those people who have self confidence are willing and often eager to try new challenges not becuase they are certain of success but becuase they have enough belief in themselves to give it a try. They refuse to give into their own fears. If there was no fear or uncertainty then there would only be knowing! Confidence is not knowing but trying anyway.
The good news is that there are strategies and approaches you can learn to build your confidence level to a new all-time high. Once you learn these and begin to apply them you will feel better able to try new things and enter new situations. Then as you begin to succeed and realise that the world didn’t stop spinning because you faced your fear, you will gain more and more confidence.
I would seriously advise you to seek out some tools to help accelerate your confidence building. Hypnosis and emotional releasing techniques can be invaluable. The personal development industry has a myriad of products and you should pick one that resonates with you. However, you have all the power within that you need to change yourself from the inside out. Make the decision now to face one fear a week and do it. You will build your self confidence to a level that you can not even now imagine.

Gain Self-Confidence Fast and Naturally
Posted on December 6, 2010
Is it really difficult to gain self-confidence? This is a question many people ask when they look in the mirror and feel that they do not match up to the image that others have of a confident person. In some ways, such low self-image is not entirely false. Many people do suffer from low self-esteem and their ability to gain self-confidence is seemingly elusive. This is not a minor problem because issues related to low self-esteem and limited self-confidence can dramatically undermine the way a person lives his or her life. That is why it is so necessary to take the proper steps required to expand and boost self-esteem. In short, someone that is “down” needs to become properly self motivated, as a way to gain self-confidence and do it in a manner that would be considered natural.
What are some of the ways that you can gain self-confidence naturally? One of the best methods to achieve such ends entails to eliminate negative thought patterns. Some may shake their heads at such a notion. They might say something to the effect that it is much easier said than done since negative thoughts can be very intrusive and invasive. As a result, the potential to eliminate such thoughts from one’s mind is not exactly easy to achieve. However, with concentrated deliberative effort, this can be done.
For example, if seriously negative and intrusive thoughts start to enter into your conscious mind, it becomes wise to slowly shrink such images until they are no longer as deliberatively pervasive as they commonly are. In short, you gain self-confidence by literally destroying the negative thought patterns and emotions that may have otherwise undermined how you see yourself. This, in turn, will alter the way others see you as well since you will put forth an image of being quite deliberatively self-confident. And, best of all, you will do so sincerely and naturally which is always the best way to gain self-confidence.
Consider the alternative to this natural method. Many people will seek chemical psychotropic drugs as a means of reducing the mental problems they must contend with. As a result, they will literally be numbing their mental state. This is done with the intention of reducing the anxiety and depression that prevents one from doing what is necessary to gain self-confidence. But, is this the right way to seek such gains? Honestly, it is a terrible method because it does absolutely nothing in terms of its ability to reverse the various problems associated with the underlying condition. Why would anyone want to involve himself with such a plan when the ability to gain self-confidence in a natural manner would prove to be a much better plan? In some cases, the individual simply does not know the existence of a better plan. Don’t make this same mistake. Rather, you should look for the various natural methods that can help you gain self-confidence in a more reliable manner.
Can such success be achieved overnight? Well, very few things of any value can be achieved overnight. But, with the right effort and the proper motivation, it is definitely possible to make serious successful gains in the spectrum of enhancing self-confidence. This much we know is a fact.
