How To Build Your Self Confidence

By Frank D. Sallee


As a child, I was quiet and shy and I thought Self-Confidence was something you either had or didn't have - like being tall or having red hair. Actually, I thought it was something that the "lucky" people had. Fortunately for me, I learned that Self-Confidence is a quality that can be developed. In fact, I find Self-Confidence to be a wonderful byproduct of understanding and applying the Law of Attraction. With the Law of Attraction, you can enjoy the Self-Confidence that comes from knowing who you really are, from knowing how life works, from knowing how to make your dreams come true. With the Law of Attraction, the Self-Confidence is available to everyone.

Having lived without a lot of Self-Confidence in my younger years, I can tell you - Life is MUCH better with it. Self-Confidence opens doors. It allows you to live fully, to get in the game, to play full out. With Self-Confidence, you apply for the promotion, start the business, say YES to opportunities. With Self-Confidence, life is richer and fuller and a whole lot more FUN!

There are scores of talented actors and actresses who do very well in their professions but whose personal lives are torn by lack of self-confidence. It may sound contradictory, but this is how life is.Talent can be an important component of self-confidence, but it is certainly not a substitute for self-confidence. So, don't worry about lack of talent. Harness the skills that you possess.

Self-Confidence - like everything else - is a choice. You can CHOOSE to be more Self-Confident. At those times when you feel insecure, uncertain, or powerless, remind yourself that you're in charge and you can choose how you feel. You can choose to feel self-assured, certain, decisive, and positive. Here are seven ways to adopt an attitude of Self-Confidence:

By learning to consciously cultivate these attitudes you can learn to be confident. Like building muscles, you systematically, purposefully build confidence in yourself until you learn to rely on yourself without hesitation. Building self confidence is a cycle that can either serve you or break you down even further. The self confidence-cycle is self reinforcing - the more you act on your doubts, the more confidence you build and the more confidence you have the easier it is to just do it with certainty, the more you are willing to do...and the cycle continues.

Investing in a good self confidence program will proof to be priceless as the process of building self confidence is not that straight forward. Self confident people have this ability to 'switch on' their self confidence in every area of life, even if they haven't done something before or even if they feel fearful. Developing your self confidence has become an exact science. We now know exactly how the most confident people do and what they do to create that sense of certainty within themselves. This is not some quick fix or magic bullet strategy as some self confidence program might promise. It's a quality that you must cultivate within yourself. What will change immediately though is your perception of yourself and that is the vital element in developing your self confidence.

Here's an exercise to amp up your Self-Confidence in an even bigger way. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, relaxing your body to completely. As you relax and breathe slowly, summon up the FEELING of Self-Confidence from your core. Let this feeling flow throughout your body. Now imagine yourself in a situation where you want to feel supremely Self-Confident. Perhaps you see yourself making a presentation at work, submitting your manuscript to a publisher, or interacting with others at a social event. Visualize yourself feeling and behaving with ease and grace in this situation. Play the scene over and over again in your mind as you FEEL self-assured and empowered. Savor the joyful, powerful, fully alive feeling of Self-Confidence. As you open your eyes, set your intention to be able to summon up this wonderful state of Self-Confidence whenever you desire.As you know, Self-Confidence is an inside job. It's about trusting yourself, believing in yourself, knowing, loving and respecting yourself. If there's something you want to do, summon up your Self-Confidence, align your Energy and go for it. Self-Confidence: Don't leave home without it!
