what is confidence?
a feeling.
when do you feel confident?
when you believe in yourself and your capabilities and picture successful results and appreciate what youve accomplished and find things to be grateful about whats been done and whats been learned. you recognize that you are good enough now, and that you will continue to get even better the more you learn and do.
they imagine praise and compliments. they imagine awards and applause and sales and recognition. they imagine winning what they want to win.
they are in a habit of making themselves feel good.
someone who lacks confidence, is thinking negative thoughts and imagining negative outcomes, such as, ill never get better, i suck at this, it looks ugly, its too hard, i cant do it. i should be better, im not good enough.
they may project past incidents onto their future by recalling moments they were insulted or felt ashamed, etc.
they are in a habit of making themselves feel bad.
feelings are largely determined by what thoughts we think, and by what pictures we imagine, and what stories we believe about ourselves.
each of our life stories make this varying levels of difficulty to change, when we truly decide to notice and change our patterns.
its up to you to do what you will with that info.
there are plenty of resources out there to help you when you are ready to help yourself.
one of the best is self hypnosis, where you put yourself into a relaxed state and think and imagine and especially FEEL FEEL FEEL the positive thoughts/changes/outcomes you now choose for yourself. with 10-20 mins a day of this positive emotional day dreaming seeing yourself and what you do as good, you can begin noticing a difference in your automatic thoughts in as little as 3 days, and real differences in 2 weeks. ideally you will do it for 10 mins each when you first wake up, the middle of the day, and again as you are about to go to sleep, but doing ANY, once per day, will begin to transform you.
this works in all areas of life.
you were given the desire to create because the world wants and needs your creative vision.
i wish you the very best.
