All dreams are built on the foundation of self-confidence.

To be happy, successful and fulfilled, you have to have self-confidence.

I decided to ‘double post’ tonight because I spoke to a friend an hour or so ago, and he told me that his daughter would not go out of the house. She hasn’t been out for a few days, whereas before she would go out with her friends virtually every night. He was concerned.

We had a lengthy chat, and we spoke about books, CDs, DVDs and videos. I emailed him the book I co-authored with Natalie Dee alongside the video below.

It seems that I attracted it, and in doing so, having shared it with my friend I now share it with you, my larger circle of friends.

Many people are unsure how to visualise their goals. Some say they don’t know how to visualise whilst others say they do not visualise anything.

Well, I have here The American Monk, Burt Goldman, to explain to you How to Visualise.

I found it very helpful, I hope you will, too.

Enjoy.

One trick I learned that made a huge difference on my self confidence was to speak slowly and clearly.

Have you noticed how people with authority or are very knowledgeable or experts in their field tend to talk slowly?

Check it out. Next time you are watching the news or a documentary, listen to the way the leaders or experts speak.

Talking slow shows self confidence.

When you are confident you talk slowly because you are worth listening to. There is no need to rush through what you have to say, so you can breathe easy again and mentally say, Phew! That’s over and done with.

Have a shot at it. Talk slowly at smaller occasions and situations to start off with, and build on them, until sooner than you think you will be making a long speech in front of a large audience.

This is a great way to build self confidence, and it also helps reduce fear of public speaking.

It is well documented that we as human are creatures of habit. We tend to live a habitual life.

We think the same way and do things in the same way day in and day out. We brush our teeth in the same way, we drink the same drink, we eat the same food, we take the same route to work, and so on.

Now, what about the other habits, those that tell people who we are and what we are like. Habits such as, having a cigarette upon awakening, 2 cups of coffee before rushing off to work, feeling withdrawn at social events, reserved in departmental meetings.

Can you change your habits?

Sure you can.

You can change any habit that you want.

You want to build your self confidence. Read books, learn from people who once lacked self confidence and now have unstoppable self confidence.

Have a few of sessions with a business or life coach.

I did. I am very happy with my level of self confidence and I am working on expanding that.

Make it your intention to work on 3 or 4 habits a year; if you can manage more, even better. If you can manage one, that’s great.

Create and practise habits that support how you want to be

If there is a habit that is not allowing you to make an improvement in your life right now, what would that habit be?

I have one particular friend who is very shy in some situations, yet, funnily enough, full of self confidence in others.

Yes that can happen, and it does to quite a lot of people. I know, I’ve been there myself.

Below is a little exercise I asked him to do that I would like to share with you. Try it out and see if it works for you. Who knows, it might:

When you are in the company of people, instead of hiding behind the drink you have in your hand, ask the people you are with ‘one line’ questions, in other words really short and simple questions. You can easily rehearse these questions on the way to the event.

For example, “So, what do you do?” or “How did you hear about this event?” or “What did you think of the speech?”

People love to talk about themselves. Listen closely to what they say when they answer, and expand on their answers by asking another ‘one line’ question. Gradually you will loosen up and the rest of the evening will flow with greater ease.

By focusing on what they are saying you will become less conscious of yourself, and before you know it, you will be buying the next round of drinks for your newly found friends!
