In the first chapter of 365 Steps to Self-Confidence (book #1) the author David Lawrence Preston introduces readers to his five key concepts for achieving confidence. It involves self-awareness and ITIA (Intention, Thinking, Imagination, and Acting ‘As If’). The book also suggests getting a notebook to record thoughts and exercises for each chapter. Each entry should be dated. I’m going to start a notebook and post some of my notes and exercise results online.
What does confidence mean to you?
Exercise #3 – Describe confident people, what do they do that others don’t.
Confident people are secure. They don’t constantly second guess themselves. They believe in themselves. Confident people are successful. They interact with others well.
Exercise #4 – List 3 limiting beliefs about yourself. Change them into a positive affirmation.
I’m not good enough. - - - I am worthy and deserving.
I’m not beautiful. - - - I am beautiful.
I’m not capable. - - - I am more than capable.
Additional Notes:
Commit to spend time each day working towards building up your confidence.
Whatever you believe you can achieve.
Stop putting yourself down, when you catch yourself using negative self-talk immediately stop and replace it with something positive.
Self-esteem isn’t everything, its just that there’s nothing without it. – Gloria Steinem
