Why you need to take a second look at your level of confidence
Everyone agrees that it’s important to feel confident, both for success and your own happiness. But very few people do anything to feel more confident, unless they are sorely lacking in that area…and quite frankly even then.
I think it’s because we think there is little we can do about it; we either have it or we don’t. And if we aren’t confident now, we think that it will come once we start accumulating successes under our belt.
The problem is that it’s the other way around: our level of confidence is crucial to our ability to succeed. So it’s essential that we do what we can to improve it.
How do we do that?
Motivational books and talks help somewhat.
More powerful and effective is having the support of someone who believes in us. That’s why the people who succeed participate in Mastermind groups, hire coaches, and seek out mentors and like-minded peers.
Hypnosis works for some people (though it has an image of being for people who really lack confidence, not for you and me 
).
I often teach people exercises based on the meridian energetic system. It might sound strange that such techniques would enhance confidence, but it makes sense when you remember that one common expression for feeling confident is that we are “all together”. And we can’t be that way unless our energetic systems work properly. If you’d like an introduction to my meridian techniques, check out the “Energy of Confidence” page on this site for a free audio download.
The three key elements in improving your level of confidence though, is:
- Acknowledging its importance to your success and happiness
- Seeing it as something that you can alter with the right tools
- And using those tools as part of a regular practice, just like you use exercise to improve your physical health.
That last point is what causes people the most trouble, which is why I make it a part of my regular client work. I guess I’m a “confidence trainer”.
