What You'll Also Discover Inside...

Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everybody believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your doubts. 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: note down every thought while you are lacking of self-confidence. Every time you start worrying, do a two-minute break. Take the list and remind yourself how good 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.

Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple walking, you'll find out 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.  

I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

The next step is to put the useful information you found here into practice day by day, and begin to enjoy the wholesomeness of life.

Chapter 1 - How to Eliminate Insecurity

It might not come as a surprise if you confess that one time or another you experienced self-conscious when you are placed in a room filled with strangers. But, have you ever felt so shy that your heartbeat started to race when somebody asked you out on a date but you were too shy to say yes? That is another form of social anxiety.

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

Negative self-image

People who have a poor image of themselves usually believe that their unique characteristics are not 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 feel overly sensitive to all the things that you are doing or saying, it is as if you are in the center of attention. This feeling is only going to 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 have the tendency to live up to that image.

To overcome shyness and social anxiety you need to use a few strategies:

Do not expect that the whole world is observing your every move. Remember that most people, including you, are busy looking at themselves. Why not bring your awareness inside? If you have understood the source of your anxiety, seek inside your inner thoughts ways to counter that sense of shyness with positive thoughts. Self-awareness is your initial step into enhancing yourself.

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

Instead of focusing on the wrong you might commit give attention to individuals around you. If you're conversing with a small group, pay attention to others and listen to what they have to say. Move your interest into getting to know these people. You probably have one individual with whom you have been constantly working with in the same office team but you don't even know his or her first name because you do not spend time with him or her outside work. Reach out to people.

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

If anything bad does happen, do not bail out. You just entered a room full of people and you begin to feel the panic so you believe that the next best thing is to just leave. Doing this will not help you in any way. Turn the situation into something that you can learn from. Why did you suddenly feel that way? Is there a way that you can transform how you feel? Face the problem and learn from it. This is the only way you can get out of it.

Nobody's perfect. No matter how popular one is, he's still not perfect, so quit comparing yourself with others.

Stop the labeling and simply be as confident as you can be.

How to Increase Your Self-Esteem

Experts define 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 encouraged? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

If you constantly doubt your self-worth and abilities, if you have no trust in your capacities and skills and ultimately no pride in yourself, and if you find yourself feeling worthless, then you have issues with self-esteem, and you need to address that before it goes out of hand.

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 creating something.

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. People seek help for these only to find that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

4. Low self-esteem harms 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 shy and come across as aloof or too aggressive 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 beautiful, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

Be good to yourself

If you know that you would give a shoulder to a friend who is in a rough place, then you should do the same for yourself. You should be the first person to receive that care and commiseration. Give yourself that support; be a fellow with yourself and help ‘you.’ If you can give, then you should allow yourself to receive - especially during hard times. Be good and forgive yourself when something does not go as planned. Be gentle and support yourself instead of being critical when you fail, and most of all accept that things do not always turn out as expected.

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 – short, tall, black or white. It is agreeing that you feel what you feel, you desire what you desire 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 respect 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
