The Power of Believing In Yourself

The Power of Believing In Yourself

Have you ever thought about how much believing in yourself makes a difference in your quality of life? We are faced with messages that cause us to doubt ourselves everyday. Marketing brands and products media inundates us daily which messages of how we ought to be, look , and think to sell us products. Unknown faces behind screens have become critics with a worldwide platform. People we look up too have social media profiles that make our lives look fruitless. No wonder self doubt is increasing among people. There is a way out of the craziness though.. Tony Robbins says, “I don’t have to get rid of the fear, I just have to dance with it. Achievers have mastered this dance and use their self-doubt as fuel to reach higher, go faster and be stronger – and you can, too.” Let’s look at the benefits of believing in yourself and tips to get you there.

A strong belief in yourself can bring you all these benefits and more:

  • You recognize your ability to accomplish goals.
  • You’re optimistic about the future as you set goals and achieve them.
  • Deep down inside, you know you can do anything.
  • You treat yourself kindly.
  • You feel uplifted and more satisfied with life.
  • You’re motivated to get things done.
  • You have faith, no matter what.
  • You see and enjoy the abundance around you.
  • Others feel attracted to you.

Wouldn’t you love to enjoy these qualities of confidence and well-being daily? The good news is you can! There are actions you can take to fortify your belief in yourself.

Whether you feel lacking in this area or just want to strengthen your belief for the extra benefits, try these ideas to further develop your belief:

  1. Have confidence in your own abilities to get something done. Be your own best cheerleader and encourage yourself to get your tasks done. Learn to break large tasks down into achievable portions. Then, even when times are tough and your spirit is low, you’ll know you can do it.

2. Create dreams. Whether it’s getting the career you want, obtaining more training, meeting someone you admire, traveling to a faraway place, or setting a goal to save a million dollars, connect with your dreams.

  • Where you come from, the money you make, and the people you hang out with are insignificant to the dreams you create. Dreams are often focused on what you want for yourself in the future. When you believe in your dreams, you can also believe in yourself!

3. Establish goals and go for the gold. Believing in yourself means you’re motivated to get things done. Get into the habit of setting goals (both short-term and long-term). Then, you can take active steps to achieve them.

4.Treat yourself well. Treating yourself with a nurturing nature and understanding that you’re a deserving human being is essential to developing belief in yourself.
Pamper yourself when you desire it. Recognize that others should treat you with respect and love.

5. Ensure motivation is high. Remember the childhood story about the little engine that could? When you want to accomplish your tasks with excellence and achieve your goals, it’s an incredible testament to your level of motivation. Build momentum to fuel your motivation.

6. During the tough times, keep the faith. No one is immune from experiencing rocky chapters in his life. But if you believe in yourself, you can meet those challenging phases with a positive, solid resilience. You’ll push forward, move through the trying moments, and know you’ll come out on the other side wiser, stronger, and more confident of your abilities.

7. Recognize the bounty you have. Regardless of what stage of life you’re living, search for the good all around you. Get the most you can from each moment.

  • Is the chair you’re sitting on comfortable? Are you safe and warm right now?
  • Whatever you love in your life, be thankful and have gratitude.

Believing in yourself is one of the most powerful choices you can make. Practice these strategies and you’ll discover the sheer joy and comfort of knowing you can do whatever it is you choose when you believe in yourself.

Use 3 Laws of Attraction To Get What You Want

Use 3 Laws of Attraction To Get What You Want

In the movie, The Secret, Rhonda Byrne, shares her perspective on how to create – intentionally and effortlessly – a joyful life. The Law of Attraction is not something that simply comes your way; you have to put effort into it, as well.

You can use techniques to make the Law of Attraction work for you so that you can get what you want out of life. Let’s look at them and implement them into our lives to create greater happiness and fulfillment.

Learn How to Meditate Using Creative Visualization

First and foremost, if you are interested in utilizing the Law of Attraction to its fullest potential, make sure that you begin each day with meditation. Meditation is important as it brings your focus toward God’s plan for your life and what you desire and expect for that day.

Creative Visualization is a powerful tool in creating the feelings behind the desire. It is not enough to just meditate on something you wish to attract into your life, visualizing brings it to life.

Creative Visualization takes it one step further by incorporating the feelings you are feeling as you see yourself:

  • Receive the reward
  • Get the love you desire
  • Increase your financial status

As you embrace the feelings of joy and happiness, you will see that more joy and happiness will enter your life. Creating visualization makes this happen by using your emotions as triggers.

Learn the Art of Being Grateful

Being grateful means truly understanding how much we already have without asking for any more. When you are in a state of gratitude, so many more things to be grateful for come our way.

Take a look around you, there is so much to be grateful for, but you need to stand up and take notice. You will feel more joy when you start to understand the simple blessings such as butterflies or flowers that fill your life. Once you feel more joy, you will manifest more joyful events in your life.

Write Your Own Thoughts

If you want to get the most out of the Law of Attraction, you must consciously control your thoughts daily. Sometimes you must control your thoughts on a moment-by-moment basis.

If you find yourself going into negative or self-sabotaging thoughts, you need to take responsibility in several ways.

  • Think positively
  • Concentrate on all that you are grateful for
  • Give yourself positive affirmations

We can’t think our way into bliss, but I believe if we take action based on our visualized outcomes, our positive thinking changes our mindset and motivates us to align our efforts with the desired result.

Implement these three laws into your life over the next few weeks and let’s discuss our experiences in the comment area. The one thing that is guaranteed is if you don’t take action to change, improve your life, or achieve something – it likely won’t happen.

Use Failure As A Ladder To Grow Stronger

Use Failure As A Ladder To Grow Stronger

Failure is something that stomps on our self-confidence and desire to pursue our goals. It has the power to make even the most qualified curl up and retreat, especially as news travels sooo quickly and trolls lay waiting to give uninformed and unwanted opinions. It is a part of life, but you can overcome failure, grow from it, and still achieve your dreams.

A few years back, Disney released an animated movie called Meet the Robinsons that had a deep impact and meaning: celebrate each failure you have because it gives you an opportunity to try again..wiser.

Most people make the mistake of thinking that when they fail at something, they should move on and take it as a sign they were never meant to succeed at it. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

When you’re trying to accomplish something, failure is the best thing that can happen to you. Seriously! Do you think the light bulb was invented the first time around? No! Thomas Edison took thousands of tries to get it just right!

What about the first wheel or the telephone? Of course, it takes multiple tries by multiple people to reach success, but the key point to remember is that you must fail first to know when you’ve succeeded.

Real-Life Examples of Failure

  • Think of a toddler learning how to walk. Although they give a fair share of tantrums during the learning stages, they pull themselves up after each fall and try to walk again. Instinctively, they’re teaching themselves how to perfect the movement based on their past mistakes. It’s a trial-and-error process!
  • People struggling with weight loss often feel like failures when they gain weight while dieting. Keeping a weight loss journal can help them track their progress and learn to recognize what triggers backslides, including emotional or physical triggers that can be prevented—learning from these mistakes will teach them how to combat those same problems in the future.

Failure offers another benefit: it opens doors that will allow you to find out what you’re really destined to do. This happens in college all the time.

How Your Experiences Help You Find Yourself

Certainly, you know at least one person who went to college to pursue one degree and as they went through their course work, experiencing successes and failures, they discovered a new career interest and changed their major.

Think of a student who started college to become a nurse, but soon realized what they really enjoy is teaching. The whole reason they were going into nursing was to help educate people to improve their lives. Ultimately, they found the best way to do that is not as a nurse, but as a teacher. There’s nothing wrong with that!

As long as you can learn from your “mistakes,” they’re not mistakes at all – they’re opportunities for success! There’s always something to learn from every situation. Once you understand the lesson, it will make you a better person.

Become Stronger and Wiser

Failure makes you a stronger person. Imagine what it would be like if everything you did always went your way. Imagine that you were successful at everything you attempted your whole life and then one day it happened: you failed! You failed so severely that it caused you to lose everything. How would you deal with that failure if you’d never had to overcome an obstacle before?

Failing allows you to become more resilient, so you can always figure out a way to move forward.

The first wheel may have been square, and it moved, but it was wobbly and eventually fell over. But the inventors never gave up! They figured out how to make it rounder so it could roll smoothly. You can do the same in your life! You can’t give up; you have to pick yourself up and figure out a way to roll forward, stronger than ever!

Action Steps To Overcome Failure:

  1. Learn from failures. Evaluate missteps and brainstorm alternative ways to achieve your goal.

2. What are your takeaways? What skills were you missing? What new can you learn to improve the outcome?

3. Keep a journal of your progress and remind yourself to never give up on yourself. If not this, God has many other accomplishments ahead for you!

There is so much more ahead for you if you invest in the uncomfortableness of gaining strength by learning how to overcome failure. You can do this and succeed!
