As a result, we would shy away from visiting a professional and taking up a self esteem test.<br /> <br /> The internet is a source of relief to such people as it provides them with direct access to a lot of information on self esteem and methods of assessing their own self esteem without having to see someone about it. Try the free test further down to evaluate you self esteem.<br /> <br /> The first indications of low self esteem can be gauged if you try to keep away from things and are constantly engaged in negative thoughts. If you are avoiding things that you are supposed to do and if you are self deprecating and feel you are not worthy of being loved and do not value self in comparison to others, then its time to go for a self esteem test.<br /> <br /> If you browse through the net, you will find specific self esteem tests for children, women, and all purpose tests too. These are slightly different from one another. Some of the tests are free while there are others where you need to pay. The free tests normally give you a rating and also a short summary of ways by which you can improve self esteem.<br /> <br /> With a paid assessment, on the other hand, you get the benefit of getting a more detailed analysis of your condition along with specific instructions on methods to adopt to develop a more positive approach to life. They teach how the use of positive affirmations and positive thinking could make you believe in your self more, giving you the assurance to confront your fears and face each day with confidence.<br /> <br /> Though these online tests are very convenient and easily accessible, one must understand that they might not be sufficient to deal with all cases and sometime a consultation with a professional might be necessary. Especially in instances when low-self esteem has had some serious ramifications towards the patient's emotional stability, you should go to a trained professional - someone you can rely on.<br /> <br /> For those with less severe cases of low self-esteem, there are various tests available on the internet that are sure to be helpful. Before you go hunting for them however, think about the following points in this no cost test:<br /> <br /> * Do you have an issue meeting new people and experimenting every now and then?<br /> <br /> * Do you believe that you are liked by all?<br /> <br /> * Do you think your colleagues look up to you for work?<br /> <br /> * Do you remain happy most of the time?<br /> <br /> * Are you satisfied with your life or do you look for new things in life?<br /> <br /> * What is the strength of your opinion about yourself?<br /> <br /> If you have responded in the negative to most of these questions then you probably do not suffer from low self-esteem.<br /> <br /> Having a high self-esteem is often considered subjective. We may still have a good amount of esteem in our tank and would be able to carry out our normal duties with efficiency. In such a scenario, you may just have to play around with certain aspects of your personality and that's about it.<br /> <br /> You could also make an effort to know how your self esteem is structured and how it develops. This would help you in understanding how your experiences were with your family. Understanding the self esteem aspect is really important as it helps you tackle the issue on hand, admirably.<br /> <br /> It has been proven time and again that people who enjoy a healthy childhood, in which they were treated with love and affection by their parents and teachers, grow up to be well-rounded individuals with a high level of confidence. On the other hand, those who are ill-treated as children have high chances of developing a low self-esteem. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Stephen Richards is a self help guru, he has helped many people change their lives.

Perez</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>All would surely agree that it is the confidence and the faith that can take you places in the present times. If you are an adult you surely can't deny the solemnity of self esteem and the role that it plays in your life. However, your child too needs the same self confidence in him/her to grow well in life. After all no-one likes to have their kid, low on confidence. So, it is important to pay close attention to this factor from the beginning itself. Let's take a look at some of the measures that will help you heighten your child's confidence level.<br /> <br /> To improve your child's self confidence you've got to stick to the golden rule of the P and the C. The 'P' here stands for praise while the 'C' represents correct. Next time your child does something wrong, try not to nag or scold. Instead praise and then correct her. Children frequently accept correction more definitely when it's joined with a little praise. This simple consideration will help them with their self confidence immensely.<br /> <br /> Help your child build up the confidence by reaffirming that he / she is good. Everybody in his/her life has been gripped in the clutches of the inferiority complex. It is the kids who have to battle it the most. It's complicated for a kid to appreciate, leave alone fighting with his / her very own incompetency complex. Only you can help your child surmount any such feeling or consideration. For this you must inform your youngster that he/she is equivalent to other children in all the aspects.Continual praising can help your child come out of any negative feelings. Attempt to restrict your praise as well as this might work against your child too.<br /> <br /> Help your child become strong enough to achieve goals. Many moms and pops provoke their children to plan targets and goals in life. However, almost always they don't tell them the ways to go about the same. It's a per requisite to set goals. But, what's most crucial is to take actions that can help you achieve the same. For instance your kid is ready to win a personality contest you can help him / her by telling the several ways which will make the goal a reality. As and when the kid starts meeting the set aims, he / she's very likely to build up the self esteem as well.<br /> <br /> Put your youngster in social settings more often. It's great to take your youngster out for social gatherings and parties. Naturally, it can be a little botheration for you but this will have a great impact on the self confidence of your youngster. Being in social settings gives your kid a chance to interact with others. This can help your youngster hone his communication abilities and make him more assured over a period of time.<br /> <br /> Finally moms and pops need to appreciate that raising the confidence levels of a child can take time so don't expect instant results. Give your child a little more patience and attention and you are bound to be the proud parent of a confident child. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Here Are A Few More Ways To Know About <a target='_blank' href="http://www.backpaindetails.com/pain/backpain-overview/types-of-back-pain/pregnancy-back-pain.htm">Pregnancy Back Pain</a> And <a target='_blank' href="http://www.dietrinereview.com/what-does-dietrine-diet-pill-review-say.html">Dietrine Diet Pill</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-23198883848606812132010-02-21T13:15:00.001-08:002010-02-21T13:15:37.915-08:00You've Got A Problem With Low Self Esteem, Now It Can Be Repaired Fast<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Stephen Richards</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>You've been there, tried the hypnotic CD to blast your self esteem skywards and now all you have is the worn out T-shirt as a reminder of that failure. Let me tell you this, it usually takes at least three sessions of expensive hypnotherapy with a one-to-one session with a qualified clinical hypnotherapist to make any inroads into putting back together low self esteem I should know, I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist! You may even require 10 or 20 sessions, or even months of therapy! That is why such hypnosis audios usually only put a veneer over your problem!<br /> <br /> A symptom of low self-esteem is doing our utmost to avoid dicey situations. This is why something like seeking professional help to gauge whether you have an issue with self-esteem is something you may readily avoid. The internet has given you a way of going round this because you can determine if you have low self-esteem issues without seeing anybody as such.<br /> <br /> In general, we have to put an eye on our thoughts and behavior but there are some symptoms that ring the bell and tell us that we should think about assessing our self-esteem. Amongst some of these assessments are when we feel unwilling to do or carry out some important thing, when we do not find or see a reason for others around us to love us, when we think that our value compared to others is less. If we felt some, or at least one, of these symptoms, we must stop and think about measuring our self-esteem.<br /> <br /> Through the internet, you can get basic self-esteem tests for all and sundry. Each test is uniquely designed for various groupings and gender and some might cost you a decent sum of money, while there are some tests that are actually free. The ones that you can take for free will score you and point to areas where you might need to work on.<br /> <br /> Other than those free ones, there are tests on the internet that we need to pay and sign up to take them. Usually they do not only give us a detailed assessment of our self-esteem but they also tell us how to be positive thinkers; they show us how to make a daily affirmation and good kinds of attitudes; they teach us how to develop and improve our self confidence and how to not lose our smile while experiencing new challenges.<br /> <br /> As a general rule, it is always better to deal with a professional rather than taking a general internet test, but who can really afford the high cost of this, and over a period of months it could make you bankrupt! When we notice that our children, brothers, sisters, family or friends around us have low self-esteem or have been affected in one way or another, we have to talk to people whom know what they are on about; someone who is trained; we cannot grant our trust to just someone, but we may do if we found someone who deserves to be trusted.<br /> <br /> The internet provides a wide range of tests for adults to help them assess their self esteem. Here is a completely free 6 question test, just answer 'yes' or 'no', simple as that:<br /> <br /> * Are you comfortable when meeting new people or trying something new?<br /> <br /> * Do you think you are generally liked?<br /> <br /> * Are you appreciated amongst your work colleagues?<br /> <br /> * Do you feel cheerful the majority of the time?<br /> <br /> * Do new challenges make you feel excited?<br /> <br /> * Do you think your opinion is a valuable asset?<br /> <br /> How many times did you answer "Yes"? How many times did you answer "NO"? If you did not score a straight 6 for the "YES" then you have some self-esteem issues! The more you answer "NO" the more issues you have! Sometimes, even if you have answered "YES" to all questions, we need to find out more about self-esteem. However, if your answer to one or more of these questions is a "NO" then sometimes, reading about self esteem and thinking about what we have read can be of help.<br /> <br /> We may discover that the level of our self-esteem is not that 'optimum' level that we have to put ourselves at. We may also discover that we just need a little bit of work on our self-confidence, our attitude or our feelings.<br /> <br /> Getting a grip on our real level of self-esteem and how it is formed comes from insight understanding. Past experiences we had with our families, with our friends and with people around us while we were growing up is also a good tool that aids developing our self-esteem. Our self-esteem has a rational relationship with our childhood; the quality of treatment we had.<br /> <br /> Well, say if there was a way to circumnavigate all those books, tests and expensive therapy to help you overcome low self-esteem then surely you would take that option to finally rid yourself of this nuisance that is holding you back? Now there is an ultimate way to fix low self-esteem without going through weeks or months of therapy. As a former therapist I knew what was needed, and after working with hundreds of thousands of people in dire need of help I was able to pinpoint the exact fix required in order to boost self-esteem sky high. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>International top rated mind power writerStephen Richards has designedone of the most powerful ways to assist you to build confidence and assertiveness with <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/yjy9kro">"The Ultimate Self Confidence Ego Boost"</a>.

What I have developed is superior enough on its own to challenge and overturn numerous conditions of the mind without the use of hypnosis or subliminal messaging.<br /> <br /> There is a belief that affirmations are miracle cures, although they are powerful tools if used correctly they can also be wasteful of your time. What use is an affirmation if it is not hitting the area for where it is needed? Now with an up to date technology you can save time and make affirmations work in instilling confidence into you. You will be able to go the extra mile to achieve better things, and even for you to admit your mistakes and vowing to learn from them.<br /> <br /> If you just chant or repeat an affirmation inside of your head like a parrot then you will find them to be a waste of time and effort. In order for an affirmation to work it has to get inside of your head and target the zone it was made for. Now all of that is possible through my specially designed "Ultimate Confidence & Ego Boost CD".<br /> <br /> In order for you to discover the difference between just repeating an affirmation and how it can be used as a potent life-changing tool I am giving you, at no cost to you, seventy ego-boosting affirmations. Try using the affirmations, say them two or three times daily and then if you use the "Ultimate Confidence & Ego Boost CD" you will see the difference. Pick ten affirmations a day from the list below for the next week. repeat them first thing in the morning and last thing at night.<br /> <br /> Day 1<br /> <br /> 1.

If your child is getting bad grades, cannot make new friends, or get along with other kids he or she may have no self confidence. This could lead your child into a bad situation like getting involved in the wrong crowd. Here are some ideas of ways to help your son or daughter develop better self-belief.<br /> <br /> We can develop our children's self-belief through positive reinforcement. Instead of always criticizing our kids when they are wrong, we can spend more time acknowledging their good behaviors and accomplishments. This will help them to establish a better belief system in their own actions. They will find it easier to relate to positive criteria rather than always seeing the negative.<br /> <br /> Pushing our kids to join some type of group activity is a great way to develop self confidence. There are tons of groups for young people to choose from. Your child should have no problem finding one that meets his or her needs. They could join almost anything as long as it is a good involved group. It is important that your son or daughter choose something that fills his or her needs and not yours. You do not want to push your child into a group that makes them unhappy, since they will not help them in anyway.<br /> <br /> Since many young people spend a good portion of their time watching TV or on the Internet, they loose a lot of interacting experience that they would have gotten if they were outdoors. When they are outside, they may meet new people or interact more with ones they already know. It is up to parents to keep this interaction going by limiting the amount of time they allow their children to spend in unproductive endeavors.<br /> <br /> Many parents feel they are to busy to spend time with their children. This could lead to unhappy teenagers who do not know how to communicate with adults. We should take the time necessary to make sure our kids are getting what they need why they are young so that when they become teenagers, they will know how to talk to us.<br /> <br /> Young people with no self confidence need their parent's support to help them develop. Parents should never give up on their children and support them in becoming healthy happy adults with the confidence it takes to make it in life. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Get more help to <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">develop self confidence</a> with this guide to <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">stopping self talk</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-88470413924005476092010-01-06T11:52:00.001-08:002010-01-06T11:52:53.066-08:00Trust Yourself<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Lexi S Delaney</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>A person of wisdom had once exclaimed, "It is what you think you are not, that is holding you back and not what you are". One needs to have self-belief in order to get one step ahead of what you are required to do. No risk no reward, if you have to take risks you have to take them. Most people don't achieve their full potential because they are afraid of being wrong and taking risks. That's part and parcel of life, isn't it? Making errors is human and all make mistakes. If you don't fall, how will you learn to get up? They occur to teach you valuable lessons of life.<br /> <br /> If you are forever afraid of doing things because of fear, then you just cannot succeed much. To start on the path to success first have faith in you. Rough period have been put in place to teach you lessons and strengthen you. You will face obstacles, fall every once in a while, and each defeat will teach you to get up better. You will become wiser and know more about the obstacles and how to navigate them better next time around.<br /> <br /> You will learn many valuable things that will aid you ahead. In the end you are either a winner or a loser and that's how it is. What one achieves is not the major factor in determining winners from losers. It's something else.<br /> <br /> Winners can take a beating. Each setback is just further motivation to walk ahead stronger till the reach the end. Being brave is most important, because those who can't risk it don't reach anywhere worth reaching ever. Like tenacity, your resolve and drive to do anything. You become ultra focused and goal-oriented in order to do something. You don't have to become manic and obsess over a task; a little each day goes a long way.<br /> <br /> Drop by drop, the ocean was filled. Have belief in yourself daily and you will achieve it surely. Even though there might be a few spooky times, you can take the blows as part and parcel of life. One must accept that all of life cannot be controlled. All people are not amiable and some might want to blow dirt on you. Crises happen all the time. You shouldn't blame yourself for them. Similarly, don't blame others for the $#@%. $#@% happens. Focus on what can be done instead of what cannot and you will get a lot more done. Always keep a plan B in place. Life brings unexpected turn of events, be prepared for the worst of needed.<br /> <br /> The only thing sometimes between winning and losing is that winners know they can win. It is amazing but true, when you know you can, you just do it. Never quit, never bow down to adversity, never compromise, make the required sacrifices, put in the effort, time and money and you will surely be there.<br /> <br /> Asses your skills and aptitude realistically to set goals. Then abide by the regimen to reach the goal. Never say die, it's not important to win, what counts is that you participated in the race.<br /> <br /> Every fall is another way of getting back up. Keep up the good work and persist on. As long as you put your mind to something, nothing is impossible. In fact nowadays they say that impossible is nothing. You can do anything you want, keep at it, don't give up. Start today and see for yourself. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>You can learn some powerful insights in a free course at <a target='_blank' href="http://4selfhelpwisdom.com">Wisdom Insights</a>.

They observe to see the successful strategies in action. The kids are fine with it - it's so normal in our class, that they just accept it as normal!<br /> <br /> As the adults watch, I hear them whispering to one another - great, it shows they're formulating questions to ask. I encourage them to question me because I want people to understand what I do and why I act in a particular way with the children.<br /> <br /> One of the observers today had a very relevant question... Her class were starting to show low level unacceptable behaviours after starting off well at the start of term. She knew she had to do something to stop the incessant talking in class, poor effort, low achievement, but what?<br /> <br /> I was delighted to offer advice on what she should do - it won't be difficult to sort out. I was impressed by her honesty - it can be hard to admit to others that you're having some difficulties managing classroom behaviour.<br /> <br /> If this teacher doesn't act very soon she'll be following the example of so many who leave things too late and the result is managing a crisis that should and could have been avoided.<br /> <br /> Successful behaviour management is all about preventing a behaviour crisis, not managing a crisis. It's all about acting at the right time, using your voice and body language effectively. It's about setting ground rules and sticking to them consistently.<br /> <br /> This teacher felt that things in her class hadn't got bad enough to take action, but it's so important that you act before things get to a crisis point - it makes life so much easier, for you and the children.<br /> <br /> Effective behaviour management is pretty easy - take the effective strategies on board, practise them and use them consistently and you'll get the results you want - sooner than you think! Stress levels will drop, kids will accept your authority and be confident in you - life just improves beyond measure.<br /> <br /> If you visited my classes you'd see happy, relaxed and well mannered kids - you'd scratch your head and wonder what they're doing in a behaviour unit. But, believe me they're all historically horrendously behaved in their mainstream schools... hard to believe if you saw them! They're brilliant, happy kids... - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Liz Marsden is a highly successful children's behaviour management expert, specialising in extremely challenging behaviour.

We learn that it is important to be a good listener and treat others fairly, and very definitely the way our parents treated us as infants and then children played a big part in our formation of our picture of ourselves and our feelings of self worth.<br /> <br /> When we were kids, we never took classes or even thought about how to improve our self esteem---we didn't even know what self esteem meant---and making a good first impression or being a good listener or giving the other fellow the benefit of the doubt was just something you did to make yourself liked. That's what it all boils down to----acting and speaking with others in such a way that they like being around you, and when this dawns on you, you like having them around and it makes you feel good about yourself deep inside.<br /> <br /> There are zillions of books in print molding away on bookshelves all over the world, telling us the ins and outs of how to improve our self esteem, but in reality all we need to know us the Golden Rule, and practice it. Good self esteem comes from feeling positively about your station in life and interacting with others in a positive way so they in turn feel the same about you. A negative self esteem is when you feel you have no purpose in life, and disdain the life you are living----quite often this feeling is accompanied by depression and listlessness, and who wants to spend much time around someone feeling like that.<br /> <br /> Let everyone sit and think a moment and inevitably they can think of someone they have known in their past that was full of life and exuberance and very positive in their thinking, and yet physically they were extremely unattractive (as society would define the word). How did someone like that learn how to improve their self esteem to the point that people gravitated to them just to be around them and wanted to spend time with them. Folks like that have worked on their self esteem by employing the Golden Rule and living it----because when you become a good listener, are concerned about others' welfare, and genuinely like people; your actions convey that about you that you treat others as you would want to be treated.<br /> <br /> Learning how to improve self esteem is not a hard lesson to tackle; one of the biggest hurdles for a lot of people is to get over dwelling on folks' outward appearances and the emphasis that so many people place on them. If we would all be a little more human toward each other and a little less critical of the things that don't matter all that much on the universal scale of life, then we would all have very positive images of ourselves and there would be little or no need for classes in how to improve self esteem and the like.<br /> <br /> How to improve self esteem is a lesson that we are learning almost all of our lives on this planet. We start out as a blank slate as far as feelings about ourselves, and as we grow and interact with others, we begin to develop an image of ourselves as others react to us and whether or not they want to be around us; and this gradual self awareness of the actions of others begins to define how we feel about ourselves in a positive or negative way----in other words, our self esteem.<br /> <br /> Your self esteem is a powerful factor in how well you succeed or not in life, and for those who for whatever reasons have a very negative esteem; learning how to improve self esteem is vital in order to produce the results that they feel would ensure them a happier life. As humans, we are very complicated animals, and the fact that we can think and rationalize and emote, produces sometimes some very anguishing battles fought internally. Only when one comes to terms with his self esteem and does something to change how he feels about himself, can true long term betterment of his situation be realized. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Eve Francis writes on topics such as <a target='_blank' href="http://boostingselfconfidence.health-related-answers.info/The-Off-Spring-Self-Esteem.php">The Off Spring Self Esteem</a>.

By raising your self-esteem, you get to value and love yourself more. When you feel such, you feel good about yourself, and other people would also see your positive outlook in life.<br /> <br /> Confidence begins the moment you feel good about yourself. The moment you start to believe in the things you can do, you become better while you do them. You get to show people that you know what you do, thus effectively boosting your self-esteem and your self-confidence.<br /> <br /> Improving self confidence is not quite hard - here are some common things that people do to feel confident about themselves.<br /> <br /> 1. Getting a new look - when you alter your look, you start to feel better from the outside. You see a new person when you look in the mirror, and this helps in boosting your self-esteem and self-assurance. Look the part, and feel the part.<br /> <br /> 2. Start noticing the things you like about yourself, and not those which you hate. You might say that you hate your body because you are fat, but then you have clear and smooth skin; start looking at your clear and smooth skin and don. 't mind being a bit on the chubby side.<br /> <br /> 3. Telling themselves words of praises - so what if you start your day by looking in the mirror and saying, 'hey hottie' ? There is nothing wrong with telling yourself how good you are because these little words help in improving self confidence.<br /> <br /> 4. Don. 't be afraid to take compliments, and to thank people for them. Most people reject complements but you should simply be thankful for them. Those little words are great boosts for confidence.<br /> <br /> 5. Getting things which make you feel confident - some things make you feel you have more worth and can really make your confidence soar. It may be a simple fountain pen, or a nice and elegant watch. Give yourself things which make you feel secured - it helps in improving self confidence. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Discover more help with <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">improving self confidence</a> with these <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">ways to increase confidence</a>. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-82679047302197391952009-12-01T15:07:00.000-08:002009-12-01T18:57:22.795-08:00Rebuilding Lack Of Self Confidence<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Trevor Johnson</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Self confidence defined easily is basically the way one feels about himself/herself. It is not a difficult task to spot a person who possesses a lack of self confidence. It is noticeable in the way they present themselves, treat others, relate to others and act around others. Such an individual may reflect lack of self esteem in various ways. It is important for someone with low self confidence to recognize the problem so they may get the help needed to feel good about who they are and to be confident.<br /> <br /> It is not too hard to know a person has lack of self confidence. They may speak negative words about themselves and others. Physically, they may not dress as they really should. They may not put in any special effort in the workplace and it will reflect on their job performance and evaluations. Not having confidence can also be seen physically as the person may neglect taking care of themselves. Sometimes help has to be sought in order to gain self confidence.<br /> <br /> A person with a lack of self confidence also endures mental and emotional challenges as well. A person who lacks self confidence usually becomes or has been sad and it may take a very long time for the individual to start seeing the brighter side of life. The person may feel hopeless, disappointed, frustrated, etc. For some time and may require professional help from a counselor, social worker, minister or psychiatrist to find methods to feel hopeful and confident again.<br /> <br /> They may speak negative words about themselves and others. Physically, they may not dress as they really should. They may not put in any special effort in the workplace and it will reflect on their job performance and evaluations. Not having confidence can also be seen physically as the person may neglect taking care of themselves. Sometimes help has to be sought in order to gain self confidence.<br /> <br /> As soon as a person gains self confidence, their attitudes change. They are more eager to participate in activities, more excited to speak in public, not afraid to take charge of tasks and assignments and on a daily basis keep trying to reinforce what they have learned while gaining their self confidence back again. Social life, work life and personal life all improves.<br /> <br /> As soon as a person who is not confident gets out of denial about the problem and seeks help, the sooner they can have some confidence and display it in their daily life. A person can be deceitful about having confidence but many catch on to the act quickly. It is a myth that someone can not gain self confidence once they lose it because with the right support network and the support of family and friends, it can be done. Life is more blissful with happiness and self confidence in place. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Discover more help with <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">lack of self confidence</a> with the <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">ultimate self talk</a> guide. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-76212263873336463882009-12-01T13:41:00.000-08:002009-12-01T17:15:02.652-08:00Improving Self Confidence Will Change Your Life<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Trevor Johnson</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Self confidence is extremely important for you to succeed and achieve great things in life. However many people struggle to find it - they're always putting themselves down and feeling worried. The good news is that there are many ways of improving self confidence.<br /> <br /> Self confidence is made up of two key factors, self-efficacy and self-esteem. We gain a sense of self-efficacy when we can see ourselves doing well in something and reaching our goals. This does overlap with self-esteem which is a more general idea that we are able to cope with the things that are happening in our lives and that we have a reason and right to be happy.<br /> <br /> Self confident people are in control of their own lives and believe in themselves. They evaluate themselves realistically and know what they are capable of and set out to accomplish that.<br /> <br /> It may sound crazy but one way of improving self confidence it to try leading yourself to think that you are better than you feel. Talk positively to your self and even spend a moment every day looking in the mirror and smiling to yourself.<br /> <br /> The way you come across to other people shows how self confident you are. To give off the right impression, try getting a new haircut or buying a new outfit. If you feel good about the way you look and if you are comfortable in your own skin then you will be more approachable and open to others. Walk up tall, hold your head high and speak clearly whilst keeping eye contact.<br /> <br /> When you feel good about yourself you will radiate self confidence and this will make help you to inspire confidence in others. A great new haircut or some well fitting clothes can always do the trick. If you dress appropriately you will lessen the chance of feeling out of place and this will make you more secure. Feeling good about your body image will help too so hit the gym or just get a little bit of exercise or fresh air.<br /> <br /> Remember that this process is not going to happen over night, it may take a long time. During this course make sure you stay focused on your goal and remain positive. Make sure that you use your family and friends to lean on during hard times. Be open and talk to them about what you are going through and what you aim to achieve. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Get more help with <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">improving self confidence</a> with the <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">ultimate self talk</a> guide. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-8913144447052400032009-12-01T07:04:00.000-08:002009-12-01T07:28:18.244-08:00Five Simple Things To Do In Improving Self Confidence<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Trevor Johnson</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>When improving self confidence, you must keep in mind that you are doing this for yourself and for your self-esteem. You value yourself, and you get to love yourself even more When you do that, other people see that you are quite confident with yourself.<br /> <br /> Feeling better about yourself is the first way to being a better person. The moment you believe in yourself, you actually become better in everything you do and you tell people that you know what you do. It gives you confidence and assurance with your skills and talents.<br /> <br /> Improving self confidence is not quite hard - here are some common things that people do to feel confident about themselves.<br /> <br /> 1. Getting a new look - when you alter your look, you start to feel better from the outside. You see a new person when you look in the mirror, and this helps in boosting your self-esteem and self-assurance. Look the part, and feel the part.<br /> <br /> 2. Start noticing the things you like about yourself, and not those which you hate. You might say that you hate your body because you are fat, but then you have clear and smooth skin; start looking at your clear and smooth skin and don. 't mind being a bit on the chubby side.<br /> <br /> 3. Telling themselves words of praises - so what if you start your day by looking in the mirror and saying, 'hey hottie' ? There is nothing wrong with telling yourself how good you are because these little words help in improving self confidence.<br /> <br /> 4. Taking people's compliments - do not bow down and say, "not really" when somebody says you look nice. Thank the person for the compliment - and believe in it.<br /> <br /> 5. Getting things which make you feel confident - some things make you feel you have more worth and can really make your confidence soar. It may be a simple fountain pen, or a nice and elegant watch. Give yourself things which make you feel secured - it helps in improving self confidence. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>Discover more help with <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">improving self confidence</a> with the <a target='_blank' href="http://personaldevelopmentreviews.org/ultimate-self-talk-series-review/">ultimate self talk</a> guide. </div><br /> </div>judesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03019772957342554166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5624234876161511183.post-82060676159449192472009-11-28T03:58:00.000-08:002009-11-28T04:12:30.424-08:00Knowing How To Build Self Confidence<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Trevor Johnson</div><br /><div class='uawarticle'>Knowing how to build self confidence has been a concern for the general public for quite some time.

If you have employees who lack confidence you may not get the best performance out of them in the jobs they complete. This will lead to poor levels of confidence throughout the team and even organization as a whole.<br /> <br /> Before you start looking to improve it, you need to investigate if they are lacking in it first. Through observing the behaviors of your employees as often as you can, by Walking around and just watching them every once in a while, you will stay in touch with what is going on with them.<br /> <br /> If your employee brings up an idea with the prelude of "This may be dumb", or "This most likely won't work", Well those are signs they are not confident. By taking the time to let all your employees know that all ideas have merit, they will be less self-doubting when they do have the strength to bring things up.<br /> <br /> Another clue might be if an employee sometimes becomes withdrawn or silent, especially when in a group setting, like meetings, or other team gatherings. This can also indicate that you have employees who are not confident working as they stand right now.<br /> <br /> Talk to that employee by themselves and see if they will open up. If you find it has something to do with confidence, try and help out. Point out positive things that they do well and build their self-confidence by showing that you have confidence in them.<br /> <br /> Those employees who seem to withdraw or are extremely silent during meetings may be lacking in confidence. They may have some fantastic ideas but are simply scared to share them, as their confidence is low.<br /> <br /> By involving your people in meetings, those who are lacking confidence will usually be quiet during this time - many people are. They don't have the courage to speak up when it's needed, but if you do a round table discussion maybe they will open up more and that will help their confidence, as long as you ensure that what they say is valued and certainly not ridiculed by anyone.<br /> <br /> Focus on making your employees know that you have an open door policy, not only for problems but for suggestions too. Impress upon them that no idea they have is considered stupid or unimportant, because you never know how many great ideas are sitting out there hidden by a lack of confidence to come forward.<br /> <br /> As you take the time to improve employees' confidence, they will come out with more valuable contributions.<br /> <br /> So, as you make sure that you let your employees know when they are doing something well, it really can make the difference and build confidence significantly. - 31984</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class='uawlinks'>A vital management role in any business or organization, is <a target='_blank' href="http://www.SuperSuccessfulManager.com">building confidence</a> in your employees, enabling skilled and capable individuals delivering excellent results.
