What You'll Also Discover Inside...

Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you have to first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. That way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

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 running, 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 healthy and very beautiful, too.

This book will help you learn where to start in trying to pursue your passion.  

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 Beat Shyness

It doesn't matter if you are an introvert or an extrovert, because everyone can relate to having a feeling of shyness sooner or later. Most individuals believe that introverts are the most likely to have feelings of shyness. It is not actually correct because extroverts also tend to feel unpleasant when they are around people.

Why do people experience shyness? Everyone tends to feel shyness at varying degrees. Your shyness might be because of any of the following:

Negative self-image

Individuals who have a negative image of themselves usually think that their unique characteristics aren't as interesting as other people, thus they aren't worthy of praise or admiration. They often resort to trying hard to fit in but often end up not liking their own selves. Psychologists say that you have to go back to a person's experiences when growing up because generally, it is during this time that their image of themselves is developed.

Extreme self-preoccupation

Self-preoccupation is when you become overly sensitive to all the things that you are doing or saying, it is as if you are in the center of attention. This sense will only create stress because you begin to question your every move. Your focus is devoted to the things that you are doing wrong.

False labeling

When you say and find out yourself as a shy person, you begin to live up to that image.

To defeat shyness and social anxiety you should use a few strategies:

Every person is unique. You have to find your strengths and improve on them. Instead finding what's wrong with you, find something that you are good at and focus on consistently doing it. Find qualities that put you at an advantage. Within your uniqueness, find what makes you tick and magnify it.

Do not conform and do not try to pretend what you aren't. Embrace your uniqueness. What you are not aware of is that each person you come in contact with has some extent of shyness in them. There are people who look cool and composed in the outside who are feeling self-conscious and anxious if people would notice what they are feeling inside.

Figure out how to relax and take deep breaths to relax the anxiety. Yoga can also be a good therapy and exercise since it helps you relax. If you are relaxed, you are able to lead your attention away from your own self and you begin to take notice and develop your conversational skills.

Release your stress and anxiety. Do exercise routines. Rather than being stressed, re-channel your power into something else. Look at things at a whole new perspective. You walk or jog around the neighborhood to release that. Some would say doing meditation exercises.

Practice affirmation exercises. Identify the power of your thoughts and your words. Consistently speak about how self-confident you are, how happy you are, or how content you are. Say you have the capability, you are assured, and you are wonderful. These words will be found by your subconscious mind, imbibes them, and switch them into reality. Realign your thoughts, so instead of nurturing negative thoughts, take into account the positives. Visualization and positive affirmation will change your thinking habits and will lead you to changing your life in general.

Nobody's perfect. Regardless of how popular a person is, he's still not perfect, so quit comparing yourself with others.

Practice your social skills. Go out there and mingle.

How to Increase Your Self-Esteem

Experts describe self-esteem as the overall perspective of a person on his or her value. It is one’s view of the self and one’s attitude towards it. Do you feel worthy? Do you feel capable? Are you proud of yourself? Are you motivated? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

Saying negative things such as the ones listed below may seem harmless, but what you are doing is creating something in you that later becomes permanent. It soon becomes the cause of conditions such as social phobia, anxiety, and panic attacks. Some of these things we say are:

I am a failure...

What was I thinking...?

It is too stressful to handle...

I will never make it...

What does a low self-esteem do?

1. Poor health as a result of eating disorders, and low energy levels because you are so busy pleasing everyone but yourself.

2. Missed career opportunities as a result of the echo in your head that says you cannot do it. Low self-esteem makes you feel inappropriate and unworthy hence hinders you from taking risks and grabbing chances.

3. Sexual problems are closely related to self-esteem issues because it is all about an individual’s problem with his or her image. Low self-esteem leads to low sex drive and addictions. Individuals seek help for these only to discover that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

4. Low self-esteem affects your emotions because you find yourself unable to put your feelings to the fore. It hinders you from accepting your weaknesses and sharing intimacy on many levels with a partner. You find yourself being either too reserved and come across as aloof or too arrogant when all you needed was a shoulder to lean on.

The first step to increasing your self-esteem is by challenging his messages of criticism to you. Replace them with opposite and positive messages. An example of a negative inner message is when you are ‘told’ These people will never like me, I am too short and inappropriate, or They think I am spoilt and stuck up. Acknowledge your strengths and say I am the best there can ever be, I am awesome, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

Live Consciously

Do not betray your mind as it is man’s basic survival kit; it tells you what to do. Live in a way that you do not lie to yourself. Clear that mental fog in your head and understand that you are human.

Accept yourself

This is something you have to decide on. Self-acceptance is a conscious decision. It is something that helps you accept without denial that we are how we are – thin, fat, black or white. It is agreeing that you feel what you feel, done what you have done and have what we have, and ultimately, we are what we are. What’s next? Say to yourself that you choose to value yourself, to treat yourself with honor and dignity. This is the basic act of agreeing to yourself and self-esteem grows and feeds out of this.

Be responsible for you

Begin to realize that no one will come to make you feel better. To each one, life is given, and we have our own lives to live. You are therefore responsible for your own happiness. You can sit around and be gloomy about it all day, all year, and watch your life waste way, or you can take a stand and own your life and happiness.

Be self-assertive

Being assertive means living respectfully and in entirety of the human society. Self-assertiveness is upholding and standing for your rights while acknowledging those of others. It is striking a balance between being independent and being autonomous. Being a person with self-esteem means you know your rights and respect those of others too. It means you listen to other people also as much as you listen to yourself. Living as an assertive person is speaking and doing from your ideas and principles.

Seek for a mentor

If the source of your self-esteem comes from school, seek the help of your teachers. There are also other professionals in the education system that should help you with school issues. If you are being bullied or teased, for example, a teacher
