How to feel Confident all of the time
By Nadia Cenci Published: 22/04/2009
The mind is a truly amazing thing. How we feel in any given moment is linked to:
- What we are focussing on
- The way that we move and use our body
- The language we use
The mind controls all three! Remember, you can change the way that you feel by changing the above 3 points for example.
1. What we are focussing on. Be aware of what you are focussing on in that very moment.Are they negative and lethargic thoughts? Are you low in confidence? Think of what you would have to focus on to feel vibrant and full of energy and what would you have to focus on to FEEL confident?
If you could feel vibrant and energised right now, what you be thinking about?
2. The way that we move and use our body This is also called your physiology. Emotion is created by motion. The fewer movements you make the less energy you will have! When you are feeling low in confidence notice how you are moving your body. If you saw someone who you thought appeared confident how would they be moving their body?
3 The language we use The words that you say to yourself in your mind and out aloud will have an impact on how you are feeling. What words do you use to describe negative emotions?
Do you use:
“I’m nervous”
“I’m stupid”
“I’m depressed”
NOW imagine that instead of saying –
“I’m really nervous” you said to yourself – “I’m really excited” do you think it would make you feel better?
So, what other words could you replace your negative ones with?
NEW EMPOWERING/LOW INTENSITY PHRASES
Lower the intensity and the feeling when you use negative words.The opposite can be said when you want to feel great. Increase the intensity, increase the feeling when you use positive/good words.
So, instead of saying –
“I feel good” say “I feel fantastic!”
