I remember when I was younger; man a lot younger, I was painfully shy. I would rather cross the street than talk to someone, especially if it was a pretty girl.
Being nervous around people all the time actually made me physically ill.
A study was done some time ago that showed the biggest single fear we have is actually getting up in public and speaking.
Even if it is to give a toast at a wedding, to speak at school assembly to even say Grace at a family dinner.
Just the thought of it makes us break out in a cold sweat.
It is all just a lack of confidence.
And it manifests itself in so many ways that can paralyse us and make us into blithering idiots and our soul preoccupation is to try and get the butterflies flying in formation.
Confidence is one of those intangible things that we think about in terms of absolutes. We are either confident or we aren’t. We see people who are very confident and wish we were like them. We see people who aren’t at all confident and say “Thank God I’m not that bad”
Joking aside confidence or lack of it happens to be a very important part of who we are.
Not all of us have the confidence, courage and charisma to make earth shattering speeches and sweep people of their feet with our eloquence.
And the same thing applies in business, in our social lives or any other personal area. Doing things with confidence is the key to success in the long run.
We need to bear in mind though that having or not having confidence is not just about such smallish things. It really is of serious concern when our lack of confidence results in us not being able to make decisions and value judgements for ourselves and in a proper and sensible way. When you begin to doubt yourself you are starting down the slippery slope to disaster and ruin.
The whole process starts with just a lack of belief in yourself and then it just develops a life of its own and the next thing you know you have fallen on you backside with the comment “I knew that would happen”
Confidence, be it high level or low level is all in the mind. If you doubt that go back to my story and reacquaint yourself with me.
When you understand and accept that fact, then you will rapidly come to the conclusion that hypnotherapy can without any doubt whatsoever can deal with lack of confidence most effectively.
Won’t it be great when you can move forward in life with confidence and know that you know that you can damn well do anything that you want.
