Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everyone believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your doubts. The bad news - you can interpret every people's sight in a wrong way. Any weird reaction and you start worrying without any reason. Psychologists recommend listening to your "inner voice". Make this 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.

Surround yourself with positive people. The more you surround yourself with positive and confident individuals in all areas of your life the more you will begin to feel the same. The very interaction with confidence motivates you to feel the same, it is contagious. The same goes for negativity. So, take a look at the people in your life and reflect on their net input regarding confidence in your life. True friends help you be more of yourself as far as it is concerned.

Take care of your health. If you feel good, you can achieve a lot. Regular exercises build physical strength, perseverance and increase stress resistance. Choose a healthy diet and sleep a lot. Breaks for rest and relaxation, your personal time should be as usual in your daily routine as, for example, brushing your teeth. Enjoy the fact that you look good, and try to take everything from life. Others will look at you with interest and respect.

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 to work the steps written in this book and see your life change for the better. Remember, you can do this. Your life is in your hands—so make it great.

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

Have you ever seen the sun rise, opened your window and breathed in that stunning morning air, or even sat down for a while savoring your favorite brand of coffee down to the last drop without even worrying about anything? If not, mind you dear reader, these are just some of the simple things in life you surely missed out on.

Mornings are awesome and great. Every morning speaks of a new beginning, of a new hope and of a new you. As you start to face reality, give yourself some alone time. Take some time off from all the things that keep you awake at night. Take time and enjoy a daily dose of happiness.

Happiness is not measured by how hard you laugh but by how happy your heart is. Happiness, thus, is an act of peace and an act of purity. Being able to appreciate even the smallest things in life is happiness itself.

So go see the sun rise, breath in that stunning morning air, or enjoy that cup of coffee. Whatever it is, it would surely be your own fresh cup of happiness.

Here are some simple things you should definitely try:

Say a Prayer

Prayer is the greatest 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 a sincere heart and surely you will be heard!

Exercise

Once you’re finished mastering 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 vital meal of the day, so don’t ignore 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 tasks 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 should eat breakfast each morning.

Show that Smile 

While 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 good mood. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It reduces all that stress in you and replaces it with a secured 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 cup of happiness is listening to your favorite song. Music helps calm your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It inspires you to be magnificent 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 other people.

Meditate

Meditation and exercise may have a lot in common but these two are really very different things. In exercising, you are rewarded by a lot of sweat and that fat burning sensation you would feel after rigorous physical activity, but with meditation, you will get that relaxing feeling and the calmness you’ve always desired.

As you work on starting your day right, accompany it with a cup of happiness and you’ll surely get that savory mixture and that lovely feeling that would surely do you well.

Chapter 2 - How to Discover Your Passion

If you have already uncovered your talent, then it is time to discover your passion in this world. Passion is a strong feeling of excitement for something or about doing something. As opposed to talent, passion can be shared. Thus, individuals who have diverse talents can have the same passion. While those who share the same interests, do not automatically have the same talents. An individual can be passionate about his talent but also with other activities in his life. However, someone's talent can't be automatically his passion. If your passion is your talent, you will have more chance of achieving your goals. There would be less stress and hassle. Doing something that is already second nature to you and loving every minute of it would likely motivate you to achieve success than accomplishing something difficult and uninspiring.

So what are the ways to exploring your passion in life?

Meditate. Passion is a driving force. It is unseen when it is not propelling something forward, such as talent. Thus, passion can be more difficult to see than talent. You may have several inner skills such as writing, dancing and carving. One of these talents could be your passion in life.  It isn't easy to decipher our large number of wishes and pursuits into passion or just momentary obsession. You have to think from your inner core. To have the ability to access your inner core, you will need to meditate. Find a place where you will be still and be at peacefulness with your environment. Dive right down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest dreams in life. Ask yourself these questions:

a. What's my objective in life?

b. What takes up the majority of my time?

c. What do I really like doing?

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

e. What would I do even if I don't get any compensation 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 find important signs that will help you define your passion in life. You will need to really concentrate on your inner self, before you make an effort to answer these questions. If you are touching this self, you would be able to perceive the case more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

Create a list of what you want to do. Before you start your list, you should think about things that you've dreamed of doing but never got around to. You might 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 loved ones were against it; you were too afraid to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. In making this specific list though, you need to include all those things you have imagined doing without thought of the factors which have hampered you from doing it before. Go over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you in the past. Include everything you have imagined doing even if you think it's highly impractical, risky or bold. Maybe it isn't really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly find your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging flame 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 an inkling of what really interests you, what lights you up more than anything else. Passion is what makes a usually calm person talk animatedly about a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can't ever really 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 possible things that could get the adrenalin going. Have a shot and who knows? You may realize just what it is that you would love to do for the rest of your life.

Experiment with a new sport or take up a new hobby. You might not realize it yet because you have not tried doing it or taking it up, however your passion could be snowboarding or scuba diving. There are many sports which you can put on your own such as mountain biking, dancing, archery or running.
