How To Raise Your Self Confidence
Friday, March 5, 2010 0:10I had many issues as I grew up from a child, through the teenage years, and finally to adulthood which had a damaging affect on my confidence levels. These included:
- A bald patch on my head
- A speech impediment known as a stutter
- A weight problem, I was basically too fat
- I am rather vertically challenged at only 5ft 4
It can be really difficult to improve confidence naturally. Certain people I met would be quite nasty and would try to make fun of me. I tried really hard to ensure that these nasty people did not affect me however I must admit that there were many a time when I would shed a tear. Life at times was quite tough especially where I worked at the company offering a Medical negligence claims service.
Aged 22 I decided to do something about this pathetic way of living – I needed to become a real man – I needed to become strong and far more care-free. I decided I needed a big change in attitude and started to read books about life and about positive thinking etc.
These were the things I had to take on board:
Who cares what other people think about you? As long as you like and have respect yourself nothing else really matters
It is time to start respecting and liking yourself
There are various things about your person, you do not like but which you can not change. You therefore have to start accepting these things and realising that maybe there are other people in life who are more unfortunate than you.
You need to have respect for yourself
Do not accept second best in life
Be happy
I tried hard to implement this advice and even though it was not easy to change, I knew I had to. I basically live life to the full now and try not to worry about anything trivial. I have also managed to eradicate the stuttering problem, in the end it was probably a mixture of hypnosis and subliminal messages which really helped me.
I have now become a successful external doors salesman and my life is now much happier overall.
I hope this article will be of benefit to the people who read it.
