One of the world's leading behavior-change psychologists has developed a program to make us believe in ourselves and have unshakable self-confidence. As a former psychology student, the moment I learnt about this, I was hooked. Stay in touch and I'll let you know when it's released. Take care, Greg Hey Tom, science is about to come to your aid.

Nobody can tell you to be confident. It just doesn't work. Why? Because confidence is controlled by our subconscious. But words are processed by our conscious mind. So whilst mlm leaders tell us that we have to become confident and we tell ourselves that we have to be confident, our subconscious mind is believing otherwise. There are two ways people can become confident. the first is via positive experience - we do something difficult and then when we succeed we gain in confidence. The second way is via psychology. We are coached to believe we can succeed. However, that coaching has to bypass our conscious mind - it is our subconscious that needs the coaching. It is possible, using the same techniques that psychologists use to cure phobias, depression, anxieties, smoking addiction and obesity. If we are prepared to give this science a go, we can be taught to feel invincible - and once we feel it, we BECOME it. Science really has come to the rescue of all of us who lack self confidence.

I know confidence can be based on good reasoning, but I still don't feel in control of my life. I've been depressed for 15+yrs. and haven't made any money in the past 3 years except for one weeks work;although I got a great recommendation from that job, and the agency who hired me received the recommendation, and subsequently offered me Full Time Positions, my confidence waned, and they sort of reneged on the whole thing. I felt I was obsessing a lot on the job where I got the recommendation. I've had OCD therapy, 4 years of group therapy(5 days/week, 6 hours a day, 4 yrs. straight), job coaching, life coaching from 2 top companies, regular one-on-one therapy, I even wrote down 391 things to get self esteem and none of them had a powerful effect on me. I have a psychiatrist, but although it helps with the obsessing, I feel I'm taking too many overall that I feel sluggish. A therapist told me I had no confidence (I think it was to be hurtful bec I said something inconsiderate uninentionally) and that sort of brought down my confidence some. I just can't seem to get the ball rolling w/enough momentum. My daily routine is to get up early, walk around the block for about 35 mins., take a shower, go out and call/visit emplyment agencies, visit thriftstores/bookstores/libraries, then come home and maybe listen to some self help tapes. Yet, still nothing seems to get me out of this slump. I know where the problem originated from, which was in the past, but I still can't seem to solve it. Above that, my next door neighbors as well as surrounding neighbors seem to think I lack some respect, and I feel that they're encouraging me to move out-so I feel pressure. Furthermore, I'm not good at all with panic situations, and that's what I most want to improve on. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's funny how people react and do the most unethical and un-go corish things! Michael Jordan said he failed 18 times before he succeeded....I'm close to him! Hmmmmm! And I consider him a leader...I must be on the right track!

These are the actions one can take to apply those virtues I was discussing ( affection,goodness, truth, beauty, and humility). Aren't these some of the qualities that when put into your image increase and expand your sense of how capable you really are. I like your idea of adding a blessing, and that small things make a difference. Very true! Excellent!

If I listen to Jim Rohn or read Norman V Peale and still don't feel better then I know I have some real work to do! Some days I think you just need to take more time than others to go within. Keeping a journal helps because when you are confident certain ideas seem wonderful but then when you meet adversity they often seem really ridiculous! A journal reminds me how I was thinking and helps me to tap into my confident flow again and break through that fear. Listening to inspiring audios, reading and journalling work best for me.

It's a tricky thing; sometimes I can "act as if" I'm confident, and it helps, other times it just displays even more so how scared I am. I've found that the best way to stay confident is to NOT DESIRE a specific outcome- easier said than done however. I’m more confident when I use SURE antiperspirant.
