What do you love about yourself? Waiting on external forces to help build your confidence will take a lifetime. You have to find ways of growing that confidence from the inside out. Do you find yourself putting things off because you can’t bear to start a new task? Do you have dreams of achieving things, but rarely put these dreams into action? Is your life unfulfilled so far? If your answer is yes to any or all of these questions you may have a problem motivating yourself. This is because you don’t know how good you are. The things you love about yourself are not as obvious as they used to be. But have you forgotten these?
3 Things You Didn’t Know You Loved About Yourself
To start, let’s reiterate that in order to motivate yourself to start your confidence training, you need to find things about you that are worthwhile – things you love and think are special about yourself. Once you find these, motivation will become easier and self-esteem will start to grow.
1. Bet you didn’t know you loved your reasoning power
Your reasoning power is so mighty that you’ve been able to convince yourself for all these years that you can’t achieve. Do you know why you’re so wary of starting new things? Do you know why you listen to your mind when it tells you things are impossible? Do you know why you’re so convinced your self-confidence is low? Here’s why: your reasoning power has managed to convinced you that these lies are facts. Your reasoning power is so brilliant, it makes you see lies as things that are concrete evidence. The only problem with this is it’s working against you. Imagine what gates you could open in your life if you used that amazing reasoning power in your favour!
Do: look in the mirror each morning and each night to retrain that reasoning power to act in your interest. It’s a great and wonderful thing to have on your side, so get it there. Write down statements you want to validate and recite them to yourself twice a day. You love your reasoning power so much, you’ve let it influence you. Now let it influence you to improve your confidence.
2. Bet you didn’t know you loved your drive
Your drive is what’s keeping you going. It’s the reason you haven’t given up altogether. It’s the reason you’re reading this article and thinking, ‘I’m definitely going to do this’. Your drive has kept you looking for answers even when your confidence has wavered so badly. You love your drive because it’s what keeps your ambitions alive, even when they’ve bowed their heads all these years. You love your drive because you know it’s the thing that will get you over those stumbling blocks in your way. Your drive is the reason your confidence, though hidden, has not altogether disappeared.
Do: how do you build your confidence? Keep that drive going by surrounding yourself with positive people who encourage you. The drive you love is there because it’s one of the best things about you. Lock it in and make it work for you. Get rid of all the negative thoughts and people draining your life. Give that drive of yours a place to breathe. Let me help you do this.
3. Bet you didn’t know you love your sense of focus
Your focus in life has kept you sane. It’s the reason you’re where you are. Of course, you may not like where you are in your life at the moment, but you know, without that fantastic sense of focus you wouldn’t still be thinking (after all the failures) you can actually achieve your goals. You do, right? Even though you don’t know how and you don’t know where to start, your goals are still alive and kicking. This is so because you’ve never lost sight of them. You’ve held on that long because of that sense of focus you love.
Do: Never let go of that sense of focus. Build your confidence around it by practising self-confidence training and actually working out the best ways for your personality because there’s no all-for-one fix. I can help you with these. Your focus will help you build the life you’ve always wanted. It will help you hold them close to your heart so you’ll never lose sight of them.
