Query from UKP : I keep running out of confidence at work and at home and particularly if I want to do something new. How can I get over this?
Answer : Hi UKP, here are some ideas to get you started, all involve practicing a few simple skills. Don’t try them all at once, introduce them gently
- Repeat, Repeat Repeat, so you learn to build up persistence
- Self Talk – realise we naturally have negative self talk – we need learn to always give ourselves positive self talk and images to work with
- Realise the truth of :
I am the captain of my ship and the master of my fate … - Get away from any and all negative influences,
start by turning the off all News programs and feeds - Stop negative self talking, it creeps in everywhere and harms you
- Build self confidence by ignoring what has gone wrong,
mention someone else who got it right - Catch people doing good and praise them …
- Self confident people have their ‘own perception’ of reality
- No one will believe in you unless you believe in you!
- Smile, if someone pays you a complement just say “Thank you !”
