One of the biggest problems that people have with their self improvement efforts is simply that they forget to practice whatever techniques they are supposed to be practicing in order to improve their lives.

The truth of the matter is that you are so used to living your life in a certain way that you often forget to take the appropriate measures to effect long-term positive changes.

You Made A Mistake? Way To Go!

Mistakes have gotten a really bad rap. Whether you call it
an error, a blunder, a screw-up, a faux pas, a gaffe or a
boo-boo, no one wants to be guilty of committing one.

The fear of not performing "up to snuff" leads many people
to procrastinate or even worse, never to act at all. For
many, this has become a major debilitating problem.

Besides the obvious lack of productivity and the numerous
aborted projects, this pathological postponement of duties
leads to:

I don’t have a job.

Miserable place to be isn’t it? I don’t think you have the
privilege to write about a subject this intense unless you have
been there. I’m here to tell you: I’ve been there.

It’s humiliating, discouraging, frustrating, demoralizing,
maddening, embarrassing, and on and on. Well, here’s the bottom
line about losing your job: You were supposed to move on. It’s
time to open yourself to new possibilities. They are everywhere.
Unfortunately, none of us can move on until we go through the
following stages:

Improving our self-image may seem like a daunting task at
first. How do we overcome years of negative reinforcement that
has convinced us we are not skinny enough, smart enough, or
rich enough? How do we reverse our belief that we don’t possess
the characteristics needed to become successful? We have to
change what we think of ourselves, literally.
 

I used to be frighteningly under confident in social situations. And although people who know me now would never believe I used to doubt myself so much I literally had to learn confidence until it became a natural part of me. I can tell you relaxed optimistic confidence is just, well so much more fun.

Here I'll tell you about the things that made the most difference to my confidence levels...

Some people have naturally high levels of confidence but everybody can learn to be more confident

Firstly, it's important to get a clear idea of what self confidence really means, otherwise you won't know when you've got it! So, self confidence means:

1) Being calm. For every situation in life you need to run on the appropriate level of emotion. Too much emotional 'leakage' into a experience can spoil the experience. You make great strides towards confidence when you begin to relax in a greater range of situations.

2) Being cool. The second part of self confidence is about being able to relax with uncertainty. To be 'cool' in a situation really means relaxing with not knowing how things will pan out. If you truly tolerate uncertainty, you can do pretty much anything.

Shy people instinctively know that they are missing out. Shyness equals lost opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections. Shyness can be crippling but there are tried and tested ways to make it a thing of the past.

When I was fifteen I was shy. I recall an attractive girl attempting to engage me in conversation. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.

The formula for shyness is "too much focus on the self" plus anxiety. To make it even more unpleasant, sometimes when you are feeling shy you experience physical sensations which 'hijack' your calm logical self.

I used to be terrified of public speaking - now it's natural and fun.

Dry mouth, fast heart, sweaty palms, blank mind - yeah I've been there! It's easy to fear public speaking. But I was never just content with overcoming fear. I wanted to be a great speaker. What I needed was a way of calming down and applying simple techniques and strategies to talk like a pro.

When I'd learned to relax (more of that later) I learned and applied the following four steps.

1. Reassure your audience - they need to know you know your stuff and you are human!
2. Hook them by being interesting and relevant. Tell them why what you are saying is relevant to them.
3. Inspire them by giving them information and ways of seeing that are new and applicable.
4. Leave them on a high by telling a story them encapsulates your central message.

If you have clarity about what you want and need in your life,
you are more likely to get it. This is as true for your career
as it is for other things in your life. However, most people
spend more time researching and evaluating a car purchase, than
they do on that very important thing in life - a career.

 I want to share a success story about hypnosis for weight loss.
There are so many, but this one stands out in my mind and touches
my heart. I was working in the summer of 2004 with a young lady
named Jen. She was 19 at the time and was scheduled to undergo
gastric bypass surgery. This surgery is very drastic and involved
stapling the stomach so that the person can no longer eat large
meals. She also already had liposuction but regained all of her
weight. Her father had died and all her mother wanted was for Jen
to be happy.

*Do you tell yourself both the positive and negative truth
about your work day?
*Do you remember what you did well at work? *Do you keep a
record of tasks that will support a good work evaluation?
*Do you keep track of your successes? *Do you take the
time to tell others the truth?
*Do those that you supervise know when they’ve done a well?
*Do they know when and where they need to improve?
*Or do you relive only the worst moments of your work day?

You've tried and failed. You've watched others fall. You're wiped
out, burned out, and beaten. Is there any way to turn it all around?

If you're reading this, than likely you have been working very hard
at realizing a goal that now seems out of reach. It does not matter
whether that goal is related to diet, creating a home business,
getting a promotion, finishing a difficult course, or mastering a
talent. The one common factor is that our past can, and will, affect
our future success.

So, if nothing has worked, shouldn't you throw in the towel? Learn
from your mistakes and quit while you're ahead?

The use of hypnotic states can be extremely helpful in combating the stress
associated with fears and phobias. It is a natural and effective means of
achieving a profound state of mental and physical relaxations. It eliminates
stress and anxiety and allows the body and mind to heal themselves.
Being hypnotized is very similar in feeling to what you experience just
prior to sleep our while daydreaming. You are in perfect control of yourself
and can wake up, or snap out of it at any time.

Unstoppable confidence is the unshakable belief in yourself
and what you are capable of. With confidence, people pursue
their goals and persevere until they achieve them. Without
confidence, time passes as the people stay stuck in their
rigid comfort zones, unable to escape. Here are six ways to
build high self-confidence.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge
is limited to all we now know and understand, while
imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever
will be to know and understand."

Albert Einstein, Physicist, 1879-1955

This one quote alone is a pretty compelling reason to learn
how to turn our imaginative genius loose.

Do you often get yourself upset and feeling less than fully
confident, as part of your preparation for facing a daunting
challenge? You can improve your performance if you let your
somatic intelligence lead the way.

"You move too much to be effective." Tamura sensei softly shouted
at me. "You need to give your opponent a clearer target to strike
at."

Are you tired of struggling and trying to realize your
dreams, yet constantly missing the mark? You know your
potential but just keep on missing it.
 

Speaking comes to most people as naturally as breathing. On many
occasions our words are uttered without conscious thought; in fact we
rarely stop and think about what we are saying. Thousands of words
pour out of our mouths each day as our thoughts, opinions, judgments
and beliefs are freely expressed. Often, however, we are oblivious to
the positive or negative effect these words have on ourselves and the
people around us.

'Golden Wisdom from the Golden Years'

You’ve heard the saying a thousand times: “If I knew then what I
know now.”

Can you imagine how different your life would be if you’d
possessed all the knowledge you have today at an earlier time?
Perhaps it’s impossible to turn back the hands of time, but it’s
not impossible to pass along the wisdom you’ve gained so others
can benefit from it.
