“Belief’s shape our destiny,” says Anthony Robbins.

Your level of self-confidence is an indication of how much you believe in yourself.

In step 2 of our book, we talk extensively about how believing in yourself will make you happier and more successful. How you can achieve all your goals when you put your mind to it.

By believing in yourself your self-confidence will gradually grow and you will start to think of ways to create the life that you want.

You can begin to heighten your present level of confidence by considering what type of thoughts flow through your mind on a regular basis.

Are they disempowering or empowering?

Do you find that when you are bored you lose motivation? You feel that you cannot concentrate on the task at hand, and your mind wanders.

If you continue with the thought that you are bored, you will become even more bored. What you focus on expands.

Instead, why not sit back and look at what you are working on. Is that task important to you? Is it a project or assignment that your manager wants done?

If it is valuable task and should get done, do yourself a favour and walk away from it!

Be daring and find a boardroom where you can be by yourself. Alone and undisturbed. Sit down, close your eyes and do nothing. Nothing. Take a ten minute break to clear and refresh your mind.

This short relaxation period will rejuvenate your mind and body. You will feel fresh and ready to refocus on that same task that you were bored with. Only now you will feel revived and revitalised.

I challenged one of my clients to take a ten minute relaxation break at work for the next five days.

On the Thursday of that week, she achieved more in less time. She found that she worked smarter, not harder. And what’s more, she realised that it was not boredom that stole her motivation.

She simply felt worn-out and exhausted.

The next time you are bored take a ten minute relaxation break!

Let me throw the question at you: Have you ever wondered why you see a particular situation differently from the person you are with?

Where your friend may see the event from one angle and maybe it reduces his self-confidence, you may see it from a totally different angle, and in your case, you may find that it boosts your confidence.

How can that be? You both witnessed the same situation.

Simply put, it was not the event that reduces or uplifts confidence. It is merely how the event is interpreted.

Your friend was responsible for that lack of confidence, in much the same way that you were responsible for added confidence, simply by the way you both thought about the event.

To build confidence, keep that decision to accept 100% responsibility for how you deal with and respond to all situations.

Today I am going to reveal something very important. Are you ready?

I am going to let you know the method I regularly use to assess how I feel when I come across an uncomfortable situation. This will allow me to assess how uneasy and unconfident I feel so I may do something about it.

For example, I analyse how I feel when I attend a networking evening. I pay particular attention to decipher what it is that is making me uncomfortable and unconfident.

Is it the location? Has it been a while since I attended one? Is it the organiser? The drinks? The set up? The people? Or a certain individual? As I am networking I am also analysing.

I use the typical 1-10 scale; where 1 is very nervous and unconfident and 10 being totally confident.

Once I have identified what it was that made me uneasy, I assess my level of confidence. If it is below 6 then I recognise that I need to work on my self-confidence in that area.

How many times have you said to yourself, “I’m going to be CEO of this company, someday.” Or “I’ll be managing director, someday.” Or “I’d like to learn accounting to advance in my career, someday.” Or something similar?

As the years went by, that ‘someday’ never came.

The word ‘someday’ is a form of procrastination, or delaying something that you do not feel too strongly about. Many people tell themselves that they want that promotion, want to be more successful, would like to climb the ladder, and hope that ‘someday’ will happen all by itself. And they leave it to that.

These people are afraid to go after what they want because they are afraid to take risks. They would much rather play it safe and avoid any gambles that they might have to take, thinking they are better off to cuddle up in their comfort zone and make no headway in their life, in the belief that things will work out ‘someday’.

Have you done this before?

Someday is not going to show up by itself. You have to chase it to make it happen. We all have dreams and aspirations. Too often we allow events or thoughts to hold us back from achieving our dreams.

Let your ‘someday’ be today.
