New Ways To Build Your Self ConfidencePosted by admin on December 28th, 2009

Lack of self-confidence is the largest single factor that holds most people back in life, both in the professional as well as personal sphere. If you are seriously lacking self-confidence and self esteem, it usually means that you don’t believe in yourself or your abilities and that you don’t think your life can be what you want it to be and that you are simply stuck with whatever you are with at the present time. This type of self doubt and negative thinking limits us in all of our life pursuits; and over time, it can also lead to other serious problems such as depression and hostility. That’s why it’s so important to take the time to build self-confidence, both in ourselves and in our children.
If you succeed in building your self-confidence fairly early in life as a child or teen, you will most always benefit from it. That having been said, it’s also never to late to start to build self-confidence and increase your self-esteem.
For some people, one of the best places to start is by taking a confidence course or workshop, or by going to therapy for a while to work on your personal confidence issues. In particular, if you think your problem stems from experiences you might have had when you were younger, and if these feel deep-seated and intractable, therapy might be the way to go to get you ‘unstuck’, so to speak. But for other people, there are some easy ways to build self-confidence that you may not have thought of before.
The first is considered easy - or at least, it can be: Try to have as much fun with what you do daily. If you are fully enjoying your work and leisure time activities, if they are really right for you, you are more than likely to feel confident and comfortable and these feelings are more likely to spill into your other endevours and daily life. Over time, the amount of success you have in all these activities (and it is much more likely that you will be successful if you are already enjoying what you do) will allow you to build a sense of self-confidence - after all, when you are receiving constructive and positive feedback from everyone and even from yourself, it is hard not to feel more confident and better about yourself. This effect may only be temporary, but if it happens more repeatedly, it will make an impression on your mind.
Second, be sure to pay close attention to all of your relationships. Do they make you feel good, generally speaking? If you are with someone that makes you feel smarter, better looking, and more fun than you usually feel, chances are that the relationship is helping you to build your self confidence and mental image. Unfortunately, for many of us, the opposite is true, and those relationships are the ones you are better off without

Summer Camps For Teen Girls Build Self-ConfidencePosted by admin on December 27th, 2009

Finding constructive, fun ways for your daughter to spend the summer months can be a challenge, especially with today’s busy lifestyle. Summer camp can be a wonderful option for your young teen. A good camp program can give just the right mix of freedom and supervision, new experiences and a safe environment to foster her development as she gets ready for womanhood.
This time-honored summer tradition can provide your daughter with lifelong memories, but that is only part of the story. She could very well come home with a toolbox full of new skills, lasting friendships, and newly discovered confidence in her own abilities that will serve her well into adulthood.
The best summer camps offer an exciting range of activities tailored to appeal to a variety of interests. These camps employ highly trained counselors who are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge and experience. Many camps offer varied program lengths, from a few days to several weeks away from home.
If she is a sports enthusiast, your daughter may enjoy a sports-themed camping experience. Camp counselors and trainers will help your daughter perfect her skills as she shares her experiences with new friends from all over the country. Sports camps can offer specialized skills instructions that will prepare her to compete in her sport at a whole new level.
Your technically talented daughter will lose herself at computer camp. Surrounded by counselors who speak her language and understand complex computer skills, your teen can expand her knowledge and challenge herself along with other kids with similar interests. Whatever her particular strengths, from gaming and robotics to web site construction and video editing, she will surely find herself taking on new skills and making friends.
Other, more traditional summer camps offer encounters with the rugged outdoors. S’mores around the campfire, horseback riding, hiking, canoeing and many other activities can help create memories that she will treasure. Leaving behind the technological trappings (many don’t allow cell phones, email or even TV) and stresses of the modern world and getting back to nature can be both physically challenging and mentally freeing. It can give your daughter the opportunity to know herself better than ever before, and to prove what she is made of.
Many summer camps are geared to teach leadership skills as well as fun. These focus on providing experiences that equip your teen with fortitude and determination, as well as adding greatly to her character and understanding of those around her. She will learn to be a part of a team, to find those qualities in her counselors she admires and would like to emulate. These camps can light a spark of self reliance in your daughter that will take her far beyond her teenage years.
No matter what your daughter’s interests and abilities may be, the right summer camp will help her find her hidden gifts and discover her niche in the world. From basketball camp to drama camp, cheerleading to church groups, your daughter’s adventure is out there waiting for her.

  In Great Britain,  it has long been the custom for all men of importance to wear big wigs including the modern day jurisrts. So a person of importance wore a bigwig and was called one.

How to be the Best WomanPosted by admin on December 25th, 2009

You can be the best woman you have always wanted to be. Being the best as a woman is something that all ladies would love. Being the best means being the one to be recognized as outstanding. The common mistake that women make is to want a big audience in this regard. You need to ensure that you do your best no matter who is going to witness it or applaud. There are so many things that revolve around the life of a woman. If you are one, it is time to think of how you will become the best. First, you have to cater for the family. This is if you have a family. Your husband and your children will become your audience. These are the important people who you look up to give you that recognition. To be the best woman, you simply have to go beyond the expectations of daily life. You can get close to being superwoman. You do not have to be perfect. Every woman has the capacity to do more than is expected of her. The first thing will have to be a change of attitude. In modern families today, you will find that many women are complaining of too much work and responsibility. We are also living in an age where half of the work is made easier by machines. The modern woman is definitely not the house wife who used to stay at home all day long. Many are working away from home. This does not mean that you cannot play your role and play it well, with the right change of attitude; you will be at a good level in this regard.To be the best woman in the house, you have to turn a blind eye when they do not recognize all you do. It is very possible for you to feel frustrated and feel down and question why you do your best in vain. To remedy this, you need to know why you engage in service. If you want to be praised, you will be very disappointed. You should serve because you find joy doing it. In other words, there is no way in which you are going to excel in something you do not like. If you are a girl who is not married, you can apply the best woman principles to also maximize your potential. Apart from the home, you are a woman who is a friend and even a colleague of people at work. You might be an employee or an employer. You need to shine all the best attributes possible. You must be the kind of friend that people would confide in. When you are working, you need to stand out as being the best. This will require commitment and focus. This is the only way that women who have acquired true success in the corporate world. The secret about being a best woman lies in the character. If you are a person who likes to be praised at every turn of a second, you are in for disappointment. You must have a human heart which recognizes that all people are worth serving. Do not be greedy about certain gains that will not benefit others in the long term. For this reason, to be the best, you must stand out in a good way.

I Feel Beautiful - the Second Commandment for Every Woman to Live byPosted by admin on December 24th, 2009

Copyright (c) 2009 Dawn McIntyre
No matter what age or size we are, most girls and women continually ask themselves, “What can I do to feel more beautiful?” I have found that all women, even the ones that are outwardly attractive, fail to see and feel the real beauty that exists within us all. The key to seeing and feeling this inner beauty is to develop a bond with our soul.
My journey to feeling beautiful was painful at best and sabotaged by my upbringings at worst. I experienced many physical beatings as a child that included the rantings and ravings of how fat and ugly I was. As impressionable as I was as a child, as we all are, I believed it wholeheartedly. To make matters more difficult, I grew to 5′7″ before I was twelve years old, and with my brown hair and eyes, I felt like a giant ugly duckling.
As a young woman I was offered many opportunities to model but I totally lacked the self-image and self-confidence to pursue these offers and chose to specialize in helping other women look beautiful through the beauty and fashion industries.
As I embarked on my healing and spiritual journey, I learned to connect with my soul and to being committed to living as my soul as often as I could. Over time, it became very natural for me to identify with my soul and feel its beauty growing inside of me. It was at this time that I could actually look at myself in the mirror, and rather than cringe at what I saw, I smiled and felt grateful for the vessel that my body was, a vessel to house my soul and spirit, that I my live more fully and full of joy.
There are many things we can do to develop this kind of relationship with our soul but before I share them with you I feel it is imperative for you to understand some key components to feeling beautiful now.
The three components we need to work on and develop are:
1. Self-image- Seeing ourselves as beautiful in the present moment at all times.
2. Self-esteem- Thinking and feeling all that is beautiful about ourselves and others first and foremost.
3. Self-confidence- Expressing our beautiful selves boldly in areas that speak to our hearts, without any concern for the approval or validation of others.
At any point in time, when you are lacking in these areas, it is helpful to relax any judgments or attachments to what is being felt, thought or seen and instead simply witness what is going on for you, as you would witness the same in a complete stranger. This will serve to release the hold that any negativity would have on you re-claiming the beautiful you that is real, authentic there only hidden by your current perceptions.
To intensify and solidify this real beauty within, look to your soul to guide you and help you reveal the hidden treasure of you. Your soul is by her very nature based on beauty, joy, and a perfection of being that is unshakeable once it is revealed, from the inside and out.
To develop this connection and bond with your soul here are some strategies and tips to help you:
1. Before you go to sleep, ask your soul to guide you, through your dreams, to ways that you can easily connect with and get to know yourself at the soul level.
2. When you awake, call your soul to you. Sense your soul all around your physical being as a brilliant white light and then a feel a connection between the heart of your soul and your own heart chakra. A visual that works for this is to see your soul’s heart as a diamond that fits into the center of your heart chakra that is a jewel of thousands of petals opening up more and more as you make this connection. Now ask your soul to sound its note of joy, love and beauty for the remainder of the day. You will become transformed by this connection and your outer world will reflect the inner beauty that is you.
3. Commit to living as your soul. As you resonate with the vibrations of your soul this will be easier to do and making choices and decisions, moment to moment, will reflect the wisdom, beauty and love of your soul more often than not.
4. Seek to integrate your soul with your personality. Visualize a white light coming from your soul’s heart pouring into your heart center. Draw this light up to your head center and back down again to your heart; creating a continual motion of light between the two centers - you may feel a slight hum and this is very normal. Sit with this sensation for a few minutes and repeat silently to yourself “with this light and the guidance of my soul I choose to live by the guidance of a wise heart and a loving mind at all times”.
You will be guided by your soul to new experiences, places and people that are more in alignment with the beauty of your soul and that will reflect the real beauty of you. It will become easier for you to feel and identify with your inherent beauty and any outer beauty concerns are transformed in the process, be it physically, mentally, and emotionally or all three.

Unlock the Secrets of Your Psyche Overcome Personality Disorders and Build Self-confidencePosted by admin on December 22nd, 2009

Perhaps you believe you know who you are and that you can control your behavior; or you may understand that you cannot control your behavior and that your personality is not stable.

In either case, I advise you to start paying attention to the dreams you see when you sleep. Take notes, interpret their meaning with the unique scientific method that exactly translates their messages and compare them, so that you may see who you really are and how you can actually control your behaviour.

If you have personality disorders and you are afraid you may never be able to feel strong and self-confident, don’t lose hope, because the correct method of dream therapy is a real miracle! No matter how weak, depressed, confused or lost you are, this therapy will give you a new life and disposition.

In the beginning you are going to see all your mistakes and learn how to correct them, so that you may acquire psychical and physical health, since mind and body are strongly connected, and your physical problems are caused by mistakes in your judgement and behavior.

If you believe you are sensible and always will be, you may be surprised with what you are going to discover in the other side of your mind, where your wild self exists.

The wild part is always working against your human conscience and trying to destroy it through craziness. In order to protect your human side and develop all your capacities to the utmost, you need psychotherapy, even if you don’t feel you have psychological problems. You do have them, but they are not perceived by your conscious mind. This is something you will understand only when you see how much of yourself never had the chance to develop because it belonged to the wild side of your conscience and was wasted there; and you’ll realize it only after developing all your psychological functions.

If you have had many traumas, multiple personalities, or opposite personalities, interpreting your dreams will give you the chance to define your personality and evolve, free of the alterations in your character that make you behave strangely and lose control.

Dream therapy is indispensable for everyone and has no age restrictions. It is a protection for teens, a salvation for adults and the beginning of a new life for elderly people, who finally have the chance to complete their neglected personality.

This is the best and safest existing psychotherapy, since your doctor is the wise and saintly unconscious mind that gives you sensitivity, religiosity and philosophical questioning. It is that which produces your dreams in order to save your human side from the attacks of the violent anti-conscience, your primitive conscience, which is still alive inside you and tries to take your place and control your behavior, instead of being controlled by your conscious mind.

After transforming the dangerous wild conscience into a positive part of your human conscience, and after developing your personality and your capacities, you will be really strong and self-confident, and will be really able to control your behavior and define who you are.

Building Your ConfidencePosted by admin on December 21st, 2009

Whenever you hear people talking about confidence, success is mentioned as well. To be a success you need confidence. Universally this is agreed upon. But, you ask yourself, what exactly is confidence?

Confidence is all about knowing who you are, what you want to do and why you are here. Deep down, confidence is about self-trust. When you trust other people and can depend on them, you have confidence in them. It is the same for you. If you trust your ideas and abilities, then you have confidence.

Why can it sometimes be difficult to be confident

You might be one of those people who thinks being confident means being boorish or outspoken. The reverse is true because the louder and more boorish someone is they are much more likely to be less confident.

People who are most confident are the ones who are happy with themselves and their lives. They are people who cheerfully go about their lives with their own ideas and designs.

Sometimes we are mistaken in the belief that we feel uncertain or negative about ourselves because of something that occurred when we were children. We go through our lives blaming the way we were treated by our families or other people in our lives. Unfortunately this can leave us helpless to try and change these beliefs we have harboured for years.

As we have just discovered this is a mistaken belief. We have fallen into a bad habit of thinking of ourselves in a negative manner and so end up feeling bad about ourselves a lot of the time. What it all comes down to is we are thinking moment by moment. So because we can choose to change our thoughts, it actually means we can we have the power to change our lives right this minute.

• One thing to remember is our negative thoughts are not reality. They are just thoughts.

• Stop being negative and harsh to ourselves. When we start to feel negative feelings we are thinking in negative, unproductive ways.

• You might not realise this but you can choose your own thoughts. If you want to feel more confident in your life start to develop an awareness of negative thought patterns and make a conscious effort to replace them with something more positive.

“With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp.” - Jim Loehr

Self Esteem - Tips on How to Build Self ConfidencePosted by admin on December 20th, 2009

Self esteem is all about how you feel about yourself. It can be established in an individual from childhood. There are occasions when parents fail to build high esteem in their children and it is encouraging to learn that one can enhance how they feel about themselves even in adulthood. It may be difficult at first but with time and commitment, one gradually gets used to the idea.To build your self esteem, you will need to enrich your knowledge base so that you do not fear having conversations with people who seem to know more than you do. This means that you will have to read widely and attend conferences where you will have a chance to interact with people and gauge your confidence.Dressing smartly, observing personal hygiene and practicing etiquette will also boost one’s self esteem. We basically feel good about ourselves when we look good. This is the reason why we try to make a first impression at an interview by dressing smartly.It is also advisable to read motivational books as they encourage one to continue to pursue their goal of achieving high self esteem. In some cases, these books introduce a role model that would be ideal to emulate. Through examples, motivational materials may give someone ideas on how to be more confident.A journey of many miles does begin with a step thus it is important to note that self esteem cannot be built in a day. One needs to constantly evaluate the progress they have made in having high self esteem and set higher targets until they are comfortable with their outlook.

How to Build Your Confidence After DivorcePosted by admin on December 20th, 2009

It seems that more people split up than stay together these days, and it’s not easy to deal with divorce, even when you are the instigator.  Even if you are delighted to get divorced there is still a finality about it, the end of an era, and often there is a nagging feeling of guilt. And, at the same time, there are new beginnings, which although they are exciting, can also mean stepping outside your usual comfort zone.

There are many things which will change.  If you have been in a “couple” status for some time, you tend to find that the majority of your friends are couples too, and now you are a “single” person, it can to some be a little uncomfortable to be alone amongst pairs.  There is also the inevitable wondering about what everyone else thinks; will your friends support both of you, or just one of you?  And how do you make new friends?  These are of course minor details when compared to dealing with the kids, be they toddlers or adults, and creating a new home environment.

And then there are added issues if you didn’t want to get divorced in the first place, and are still in love with your ex.  Then you have to find a way in which to step back from your emotions, so that you can begin to see things from a different angle and begin to move on.  There may be another person involved and that serves to complicate matters, and emotions, even more. 

They say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do.  And divorce, quite often, means that a house move is on the cards.  Emotions go through the roof, charging from one end of the scale to another, and all of the time you try to put on a brave face for the kids, friends, and family and for yourself.  You cannot stop questioning why it came to this, and what you did wrong, and what if you had done something differently.  But these questions do not help; it’s done now, you cannot go back.  It’s time to move on, time to find ways in which you can help yourself to build a new life, to gain greater inner strength and wisdom from this whole experience.  “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” as the saying goes.

The first step in coming to terms with almost anything is to accept that this is where you are.  It is important to stop fighting it, and stop questioning, and come to that realization that for whatever peculiar reason, this is where you are meant to be at this very moment in time.  Having done this you start to feel a whole lot better as your energy is no longer being wasted on useless “what ifs”.  Instead you are conserving your energy for use in far better ways.  Negative thoughts always sap energy, making you feel that you are spiraling ever lower into oblivion.  Positive thoughts, on the other hand, give you energy and build you up until you feel invincible.

But first, just to STOP thinking those negative thoughts, you stop that sapping of energy.  If you have trouble stopping these thoughts then at least make time to listen to a hypnosis download.  This will help you to relax your thoughts and calm your body and mind.  It will give you a “mini holiday” from the events which are whizzing around you.  The relaxation associated with hypnosis will also allow you to build up your energy levels, bit by bit, encouraging the belief that you can do this, and you can cope.  You can get a free hypnosis download from my website and try it for yourself.

Hypnosis downloads can further be used to retrain your brain to feel confident once again, and to help you to move on.  They will help you to stop dwelling on the past and instead to focus upon the future with positivity and, dare I say it, excitement.  If you accept that you are where you are because it was meant to be, then you may as well learn and grow and change into the person that perhaps you always wanted to be.

Change happens slowly and gradually, but with the help of hypnosis downloads it is a whole lot quicker and easier.  You can learn to retrain your brain with hypnosis confidence suggestions and visualizations.  You can learn to see things in a new way and enjoy the challenges with which you are faced.   It is important to focus on things which are mood lifting and energy replenishing and hypnosis will help you to do this far more easily than you ever thought possible.
