What You'll Also Discover Inside...

Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everyone believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your fears. The bad news - you can interpret every people's speech in a wrong way. Any weird reaction and you start worrying without any reason. Psychologists recommend listening to your "inner voice". Try a small experiment: write down every thought while you are lacking of self-confidence. Every time you start worrying, do a three-minute break. Take the list and remind yourself how great you are. Show to your mind the material proof of your self-confidence.

Think positive. It's the oldest trick in the book. If you know how to control your mind, then things will be easier for you. Why? Because positive thinking might really do wonders. Aside from that, once you think positively, you will notice that you'll actually feel good about yourself, and that you will feel good about what's going on around you. And, even if things go wrong, you'd know that these are just challenges and that you can rise above them.

Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple walking, you'll notice that you get this surge of adrenaline. This is because happy hormones are released and therefore, you feel more confident about yourself, and more confident that you are actually capable of doing great things. Plus, once you exercise, you'll get to be happy and very beautiful, too.

This book will help you to improve your self-confidence to overcome social anxiety and shyness.  

Improving yourself takes time and effort. You have to be willing to make the changes and be committed to taking action rather than just reading about them.   

The next step is to put the things you have learned in action and begin to change your life.

Chapter 1 –  How to Wake Up Early, Energized and Motivated Everyday with Morning Routine

What do you do the moment you wake up? Do you start your day by checking messages on your tablet? Or by checking your news feeds from different social media sites on your laptop? Or by doing nothing because you don’t really have any time for any morning rituals because you’re late for work or school? Or you simply woke up late and have nothing to do but sleep again?

Sounds familiar, right? You may be a night owl but being a morning person is not so bad. According to researchers, whatever you do first thing in the morning actually affects the whole day ahead. You may be wondering how.

Let’s put it this way: you’re a writer and you’re starting a new book but you find it tough to start writing because you can’t seem to make up your mind or better yet you have no springboard. In another context, you’re a businessman and you’re starting out on a new venture but then you’re having a hard time since you don’t have enough resources.

Just like a good book having an amazing springboard or a fortunate business having enough resources, you too must have an awesome springboard and enough resources so that your day would end up being a fascinating one! Here are some of the resources you ought to have:

Say a Prayer

Prayer is the ultimate way for starting your day right. When you start and end your day with a prayer, you will have a peaceful heart and a peaceful soul. Your prayer does not have to be lengthy and full of sugar coated words. Just pray to be thankful for another opportunity in life and to pray for strength to hold on through all the challenges you are currently facing and for all the challenges that are to come. Pray with an honest heart and surely you will be heard!

Exercise

Once you’re finished exercising your spirit, why not exercise your body? Exercising is one way of keeping your body healthy and in shape. Health experts believe that there are many benefits you can gain when you exercise. Here are some: You get energized and surely you’ll shake off that lazy feeling. You’ll have an increased metabolism which pretty much helps you become more resistant to common sicknesses. You would surely decrease the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and other risky things that pop up. Those are just some of the benefits you would get when you work that body. So, start working that body and show the world what you have benefitted from exercising.

Don’t forget to Eat

Experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t skip breakfast. It is important because it gains the energy you need to start your day and because it is linked to many health benefits. Also, eating breakfast helps you feel less tired and helps keep you concentrated on the things you need to accomplish within the day. You may be conscious about your body which is why you may be concentrated on dieting, but you still need to eat breakfast every morning.

Show that Smile 

As you say your prayers and be intimate with the Creator, why not try to smile? Aside from being grateful for another day, smiling to a new day actually helps you start your day with a positive vibe. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It removes all that stress in you and replaces it with a worry-free morning. So smile but don’t just smile; show the world your best smile!

Go Crazy

One of the best ways to have that extra special dose of happiness is listening to your favorite song. Music helps relax your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It motivates you to be awesome and to be who you want to be. So turn the volume up, sing your heart out and shake that body to the beat of the music!

Simply You

Simple joys in life are worth more than the happiness you get from having fame and money. You may be rich and famous but somehow there would come a time that you won’t be happy anymore and all that fame and fortune would somehow cease to exist. Don’t miss out on all the things that make you happy. What matters most is how happy your heart is and how your happiness infects others.

Meditate

Meditation is a way for you to develop peace and to lengthen your patience. It is a way of being one with the world and to feel the stillness of it all. It is a way for you to pause even just for a couple of minutes. And by meditating, you get to harness your inner legend and be that inner legend within yourself.

These are just some of the simple things you ought to do as you start your day. They may be hard to do but you might be surprised. They are just simple things you need to do so that you would be able to survive the day and to make your day as awesome as ever.

Chapter 2 - How to Uncover Your Passion

If you have already uncovered your talent, then it is time to discover your passion in this world. Passion is a solid feeling of enthusiasm for something or about doing something. As opposed to talent, passion can be shared. Therefore, individuals who have diverse skills can have the same passion. While those people who share the same passion, do not automatically have the same skills. A person can be passionate about his talent but also with other things in his life. However, someone's talent cannot be automatically his passion. If your passion is your talent, you should have more potential for achieving your goals. There would be less stress and hassle. Doing something that is already second nature for you and loving every minute of it would likely motivate you to have success than accomplishing something difficult and uninspiring.

So what are the steps to finding your passion in life?

Meditate. Passion is a big force. It is unseen when it is not propelling something forward, such as talent. Hence, passion can be more difficult to ascertain than talent. You may have several innate talents such as drawing, dancing and carving. One of these talents could be your passion in life.  It is not easy to decipher our multitude of desires and pursuits into passion or just momentary obsession. You have to think from your internal core. To be able to access your inner core, you will need to meditate. Look for a place where you can be still and be at calmness with your environment. Dive right down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest aspirations in life. Ask yourself these questions:

a. What is my objective in life?

b. What occupies most of my time?

c. What do I love doing?

d. If I will get the chance to do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

e. What would I do even if I do not get any payment or received anything for it in return?

f. What is it that I really do that animates me?

g. What makes me forget everything else except for what I am doing?

If you can answer these questions in all honesty then you'll discover important clues that will help you define your passion in life. You need to really focus on your inner self, before you make an effort to answer these questions. If you're in touch with this self, you'd be able to perceive the case more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

Make a list of what you want to do. Before you start your list, you should think about things which you have imagined doing but never got around to. You may not have done such things because of some factors such as - you didn't have courage to do it; you lack the money for it; your family was against it; you were too worried to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. To make this particular list though, you need to include all that you have dreamed of doing without awareness of the factors which have hampered you from doing it in the past. Go over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you in the past. Include all you have imagined doing even though you think it's highly impractical, high-risk or vivid. Maybe it's not really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly discover your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging fire in you.

Try to experience at least five of those included in your list. At the soonest possible time, you should try to experience at least ten of those which you have included in your list. Personally experiencing it will give you a hint of what really interests you, what lights you up more than anything else. Passion is what makes a usually calm person talk animatedly in regards to a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can never know what drives or excites you most if you have not done a great deal of interesting things in your life. Have a firsthand experience of the probable things that could get your adrenalin going. Take a shot and who knows? You might discover just what it is that
