Self Improvement & Memory Training: Ways to Improve Your Self ...

ByAnthony O Kamson

Confidence - what is it and how do we attain it?

"I see myself falling flat on my face and then I do". Is a common statement by those who have come to believe that they 'lack confidence'

What you think will happen. If you think you're a failure, you will fail. Confident people think themselves successful and they find success, even though their confidence is most of the time an act. They literally run a kind of internal home movie where they are doing well.

So, before something nerve-wracking happens run through a positive internal 'home movie' of yourself in the situation that you are in. If you're going for a job interview, imagine just how well you'll do and tell yourself you're going to succeed. Even if you don't get the job, you'll naturally do better than if you had imagined the worst.

"I typically feel so nervous inside that I sabotage myself as though stage-fright". What are sometimes called 'butterflies' are useful. They in fact remind us to give our very best performance. However, they can also make us so physically nervous that we fail. The answer is simple; by faking it, you can often end up feeling confident quite naturally. This is what people do who appear confident do on a daily basis.

So just before that important task or that big date, relax, then stand tall, hold your head up, relax your shoulders and stand with your weight evenly balanced over each foot smile to raise your spirits and go for it!

"However good I feel, I often look nervous to other people". If you act as though you lack confidence, other people will react to that. Often badly. Use the 'SET' plan, smile, eye contact, touch. All which pick up on the three elements confident people typically demonstrate.

1. Smile and you'll seem relaxed.
2. Hold eye contact and you'll seem sure of yourself.
3. Touch with a firm handshake and you'll seem in control.

"I sometimes feel unsure when I'm doing something new". This statement sounds really negative. Isn't it bad to feel unsure? But actually, this is a positive strategy in some new circumstances. It's no good feeling falsely sure of yourself in all new things. If you were too confident you may not see a potential danger.

With anything new, feeling unconfident is your mind's way of alerting you to your lack of experience or a potential danger. So this isn't a negative thought pattern. But you may have wrongly viewed it as negative. And your reaction to the new situation was wrong.

So with anything new a speech, an interview, any new skill, practice ahead of time is what is needed. By rehearsing you will raise your performance and in turn raise your confidence. Through hypnosis you rehearse different situations as if they were real and you do this within you own mind. This speeds up the learning process in gaining more confidence.
