CONFIDENCE

It all boils down to 1 thing…��

How confident do you seem to others?Your level of self-confidence can show in many ways: your behavior,

your body language, how you speak, what you say, and so on. Look below and identify which thoughts or actions you recognize in yourself…�

�Self-confident Low Self-confidence

Doing what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.

Governing your behavior based on what other people think.

Being willing to take risks and go the extra mile to achieve better things.

Staying in your comfort zone, fearing failure, and so avoid taking risks.

Admitting your mistakes, and learning from them.

Working hard to cover up mistakes and hoping that you can fix the problem before anyone notices.

Waiting for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Extolling your own virtues as often as possible to as many people as possible.

Accepting compliments graciously. “Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.”

Dismissing compliments offhandedly. “Oh that prospectus was nothing really, anyone could have done it.”

How do you compare?

Low self-confidence can be self-destructive, and it often manifests itself as negativity. Self-confident people are generally more positive – they believe in themselves and their

abilities, and they also believe in living life to the full.

Let go of the unsuccessful you, let go of the doubt, the negativity, let go of the old you. Being successful in life is just truly believing that you are something unique and special. When you open your eyes and you start work today, your expressions

will be different, your tone of voice will be different, you’ll talk more convincingly, you’ll be more real, more emphatic.

Our brains are like a circuit, so if we introduce it with the proper wiring, we can become whatever we want. Now think about what you want to achieve today. You are a new person. You can do whatever you want to do. Trust in yourself and your abilities; be confident.

Your brain is like a circuit switch, once you believe you are something, you embody that feeling. If you were in a coma, and you just woke up and you didn’t have a memory and you were told that you used to be a navy seal and they want you back now; how would

you act? Would you act differently than you do now, would you conduct yourself differently than you do now?

Close your eyes, lower your head, clear your mind.

Building Self-

confidence

Preparing for your journey

First, we get ready for our journey to self-confidence. We need to take stock of where we

are, think about where we want to go, get ourselves in the right mindset for our journey, and commit ourselves to starting it and staying

with it.

Think about your life so far and list

the five best things you’ve

achieved. What have you done that

made a key difference? Keep them where you can see them and enjoy the success

you’ve already had!

LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY

ACHIEVED!

Even I am

amazed

at how ridiculously

fabulous

I am.

Take a look at who and where you are. Reflect on your

recent life, think about what your friends and co-workers would consider to be your strengths and weaknesses. From these, think about the

opportunities and threats you face.

THINK ABOUT

YOUR

STRENGTHS!

Think about the things that are really important to you and what you want to achieve here at work. Setting and achieving goals is the main key for success and is the starting point to real self-confidence. Use goal setting to set targets and

measure your successful hitting of those targets. Set goals that exploit your strengths and minimize your weaknesses, realize your opportunities and

control the threats you face. After you’ve set a few goals, identify the 1st step in each.

THINK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

Start managing your mind and commit

yourself to success!

At this stage, you need to start managing your mind;

learn to pick up and defeat the negative self-talk which can destroy

your confidence.

You’re killing yourself with

that negativity…

THE FINAL PART OF PREPARING FOR THE JOURNEY IS TO MAKE

A CLEAR AND UNEQUIVOCAL PROMISE TO

YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY

COMMITTED TO YOUR JOURNEY, AND THAT YOU WILL DO ALL IN

YOUR POWER TO ACHIEVE IT.
