Simple Steps to Supreme Self Confidence


Book Description

You'll discover during the course of this book, that although you've no doubt suffered over the years, at least mentally if not physically because of your low confidence, it's not set in stone that your future is destined to continue in the same vein. By using a series of reflective techniques and simple exercises, you'll soon be experiencing the efffects of your own supreme self confidence! The purpose of this book is to help you understand why you feel the way you do, who's responsible for making you feel this way and what you can do to change it. The process of changing isn't controlled by me, or the people you surround yourself with. You won't ever change someone else to conform to the way you think, or act and no one is going to make the changes for you. Believe it or not, every change made will be because you were strong enough and confident enough to do it yourself. Everyone has a certain level of self confidence; the problem of course is that generally speaking, most people have their level set much lower than they'd like it to be. Hopefully, by the end of this book, you'll be at a stage where you understand how your confidence level became the way it is, why it is that up until now, you've been powerless to change it and you'd have developed a strategy for yourself that will enable you to make changes using a set of rules that suit the way you choose to live. For instance, it's no good being told "the best way to make friends is to join a group of 'like minded' people in a social environment," if you struggle to ask a stranger in the street for the time. To some people, their lack of confidence may show itself simply as a dread of speaking in public for example, while at the other extreme, to others, their lack of confidence may have determined that they have to stay home at all times in case they find themselves in a situation they can't quickly extricate themselves from. Like I said before, everyone is different and the route that each person will need to take will be different. This will be the start of your journey to finding supreme self confidence within yourself, using your rules. Everyone has self confidence, but for many of us, it can seem like a very long road to travel before we find it and unfortunately it, often seems like our battle for self confidence is over before it's really begun. There's no 'magic pill' I'm afraid. No simple, mental switch that we can turn on for instant confidence and on top of that of course, everyone is unique. The premise behind this book is to help make you the master, or mistress of your own destiny. To give you the tools, the information, the guidance and the structure to help you to discover who you really are, what your strengths and weaknesses are and how to use that information to determine your own future and develop your confidence in the areas you need. You'll discover during the course of these writings that although you've no doubt suffered over the years, at least mentally if not physically because of your low confidence, it's not set in stone that your future is destined to continue in the same vein.
