Believing in Me
“Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place.” – Brad Henry
“Believe in yourself” is a common advice that you hear when seeking inspiration. It is usually part of everyone’s road to success since our inner faith will determine our external results. Here are 5 ways to start to believe in yourself.
- Current Situation: You may have several reasons why you are not satisfied with your current situation. Whatever they are, the first step is for you to accept your current situation as it is. You will then be at peace with it and be able to decide how you want to improve your life. Once you do this, you will be able to direct your energy in a new path of change.
- Past Accomplishments: Reflect on your past or your journey so far, and see how much you have already accomplished. Remember a particular memory and feel its positive emotions. For example, if you got recognition for the volunteering service you provided at the local hospital, you should consider this as a past success. Use your past successes to your advantage.
- Capabilities: Have you ever taken a moment to list and visualize all your current capabilities and talents? This powerful exercise will make you realize that you have all these wonderful aspects to offer humanity. Keep in mind that it is important to be truthful about yourself and your capabilities so that you can be real about your belief in yourself.
- Self-Talk: What do you say to yourself when you see yourself in the mirror? The talk that we do to ourselves is the most crucial one as it sets the tone for your belief in yourself. You need to speak to yourself in a positive and motivating manner, the same way you do with your best friend. And start saying “I believe in me” the next time you are facing a mirror.
- Trust: Trust is the foundation to build confidence in yourself. Being authentic to yourself, working on activities that you are passionate about, loving yourself unconditionally and/or remembering your capabilities will instill the trust needed to believe in yourself.
Once you start believing in yourself, you will have more positivity in you and in your outlook of yourself. Gradually, you will be able to serve humanity with your capabilities and passions you now know you are someone worthwhile to believe in!
