Ten Simple Rules to build up your self-confidence:
1.
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of
yourself as
succeeding.
Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind
will
seek
to develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never
doubt the
reality
of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always
tries to
complete
what it pictures. So always picture "success" no matter how
badly things
seem
to be going at the moment.
2.
Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal powers comes to
mind,
deliberately
voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
3.
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Depreciate every
so-called
obstacle.
Minimize them. Difficulties must be studied and efficiently dealt
with to
be,
eliminated, but they must be seen for only what they’ are. They
must not be
inflated
by fear thoughts.
4.
Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can
be you as
efficiently
as YOU can. Remember also that most people, despite their confident
appearance
and demeanor, are often as scared as you are and as doubtful of
themselves.
5.
Ten times a day repeat these dynamic words, "If God be for us,
who can be against
us?"
(Stop reading and repeat them NOW slowly and confidently.)
6.Get
a competent counselor to help you understand why you do what you do.
Learn the
origin
of your inferiority and self-doubt feelings which often begin in
childhood.
Self-knowledge
leads to a cure.
7.
Ten times each day practice the following affirmation, repeating it
out loud if
possible.
"I can do all things through GOD.
Repeat
those words NOW. That magic statement is the most powerful antidote
on earth
to
inferiority thoughts.
8.
Make a true estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10 per cent.
Do not become egotistical, but develop a wholesome self-respect.
Believe in your own God released
powers.
9.
Put yourself in God’s hands. To do that simply state, "I am in
God’s hands." Then
believe
you are NOW receiving all the power you need. "Feel" it
flowing into you.
Affirm
that "the kingdom of God is within you" in the form of
adequate
power
to meet life’s demands.
10.
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you.
Believe that
you
now RECEIVE power from Him.
