How many of us get a positive feeling when
we think of ourselves? I think most people head straight for the negativity
store in our brain and start digging around for any negative thoughts we can
find.
It’s not surprising really; these days it
is not easy for people to have self-belief, as society makes us feel that this
is a bad trait, not a good quality that will enhance our lives and the lives of
those closest to us.
Constant negativity towards ourselves is
visible to others as it makes us unhappy, the people around us unhappy, and we will
never be truly contented.
Here at Dollars Want Me, we want all of our
members to not only be financially free, but to also be happy and content with
their lives. So maybe it’s time that we all stopped this self-destructive
thought pattern and started to think about what’s good about us and our lives?
Try
this out:
Take a look in the mirror right now and
focus on something that you like about yourself, instead of the countless
things you think you don’t like about yourself……
What did you find?
Do this every day for a week and each day
write down the things that you like about yourself, we promise you that you
will start to feel better after just a few days! And you will realise after
that week that there are far more positive things about you than you thought!
This sort of exercise is similar to
repeating your affirmations every day, and we know how powerful those are! Repetition
builds habits and any repetition that makes us feel better is ok in our book!
As well as the mirror exercise there are a
few other things that you can do to boost your self-belief:
1. Deal with your
negative inner-voice – When you think about yourself and a negative thought
pops into your head, ask yourself where this really came from? Parents,
friends, bullies? They are usually not your thoughts they are things that you
have been told, so tell that voice to shut up!
2. Change a
weakness into a strength – It’s true that we all have weaknesses and strengths,
we aren’t perfect, however when you think of a weakness try to find the
positive side to it, there always is one, we just have to find it.
3. Take some time
to think of all your positive qualities, make a list and refer back to it
whenever you feel like negativity is going to creep in!
4. Visualisation –
Take some time to visualise who you want to be, whatever that may be,
visualisation is an extremely effective way to develop self-belief. Just as you
visualise what you want in life, visualising who you want to be is very
powerful and will help you to be the person you are meant to be!
Self-belief doesn’t mean arrogance, it
simply allows us to be happy with who we are, comfortable in our own skin and
content with our lives.
