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". Make this experiment: note 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.

Positive statements. Remember the choice-to train? I know, I can, I know, I can! Positive statements are not about being oblivious to the not so positive but is about proper framing of your reality. Ever the most unpleasant event can be stated in some form of a positive statement. These statements give you the chance to build a productive positive outlook on life which supports your confidence in life. Having a positive outlook on life allows you to access far more of your abilities, therefore, you are able to achieve more every day.

Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple running, 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 identify effective methods designed to bring out your charismatic personality.  

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 continue striving for personal development in order to achieve holistic growth as a person. Equally necessary is the need to sustain the positive changes you have made in yourself, particularly in the way you regard your own worth and in the way you deal with the people around you.

Chapter 1 - How to Get Rid of Shyness

It doesn't matter if you are an introvert or an extrovert, because everyone can relate to having a sense of shyness at some point. Most individuals believe that introverts are the most likely to have emotions of shyness. It is not actually accurate because extroverts also tend to feel uneasy when they are around people.

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

Negative self-image

Individuals who have a negative image of themselves usually think that their unique qualities aren't as interesting as other people, thus they aren't worthy of praise or admiration. They often resort to attempting hard to fit in but often end up not liking their own selves. Psychologists say you need 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 anxiety because you start to question your every move. Your focus is devoted to the things that you are doing wrong.

False labeling

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

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

Do not expect that the whole world is watching your every move. Take into account 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 feeling of shyness with positive thoughts. Self-awareness is your initial step into improving yourself.

Stop hating and start liking. The first person that should like yourself is you. Practice realizing and appreciating your uniqueness. Learn to love yourself. Find some me time and become grateful for all that you are. Re-acquaint with yourself.

Instead of concentrating on the wrong you may commit concentrate on individuals around you. If you are conversing with a tiny group, pay attention to others and hear what they have to say. Shift your interest into getting to know these people. You probably have one person with whom you have been constantly working with in the same department but you don't even know his or her first name because you don't spend time with him or her outside work. Reach out to people.

Release your anxiety. Do exercise routines. Instead of being anxious, re-channel your energy into something else. Look at things at a complete new point of view. You walk or jog around the neighborhood to release that. Some would suggest doing deep breathing exercises.

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

Nobody's perfect. Regardless of how popular one is, he is 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

Psychologists 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 inspired? 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, depression, and panic attacks. Some of these things we say are:

I am so dead/I am going to die...

What was I thinking...?

It is too stressful to handle...

I can never...

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 everybody 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 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 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 awesome, 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 hard time, 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 – thin, fat, black or white. It is agreeing that you like what you like, done what you have done and have what we have, and ultimately, we are what we are. What’s next? Declare 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 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
