Improve Low Self Confidence:
By Developing Self Awareness
Are you in need of improving your low self confidence? No need to worry! Not only will I help you become more aware of yourself, I will give you the insight and encouragement you need in order to become the more confident, self-assured you that you have been searching for! What is Self-Awareness? Self-awareness is awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, words, and actions and how this affects your everyday living. In other words, being self-aware means you are aware of your self-esteem, wants, needs, values, beliefs, goals, purpose, passion, and anything else that is important to your life. Why is self-awareness so important when it comes to improving low self confidence? When you know your wants, needs, values, and beliefs, you create a life full of passion and purpose. However, when you are unaware of your wants, needs, values, and beliefs, you are likely to create a life full of disappointment, frustration, and sadness. And when you are unaware of yourself, it's easier to get into bad relationships, use drugs and alcohol, feel "stuck" in dead end jobs with low pay, and never feel emotionally, mentally, or physically stable. So are you ready to start living with awareness? If so, this means that you are ready to live a life full of passion, purpose, and self confidence. Are you with me? Good, let's move forward.... I will now help you develop awareness in all the important areas of your life in order to improve low self confidence. Let's begin with asking this question.... How do I feel about myself? "It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him." Abraham Lincoln The way you feel about yourself is often labeled as "Self-Esteem," "Confidence," "Self-Image," "Self-Worth," and "Self-Respect." The way you feel about yourself is of major importance! This determines everything in your life such as the type of relationships you become involved in, your career choice, your ability to pursue your passions, and so much more. - If you don't like yourself, for example, you will find others that treat you bad.
- If you cut yourself down, you will constantly feel unworthy!
- If you compare yourself to others, you will never appreciate your uniqueness.
Become aware of how you treat yourself. Chances are you're not very nice! Learn ways to appreciate yourself and make this a priority! Period! What Are My Priorities? In a domestic violence group I facilitate, I was questioning how I could help the members develop awareness of their priorities. A co-worker suggested the following... - Fold a piece of paper into four squares.
- After you have folded this piece of paper, open it back up and write one priority on each square.
- After you have written a priority on each square, cut each square until you have four separate pieces.
- Now, take the priority that means the least to you and put it aside.
- Do this until you get to one priority. Your main priority.
- Ask yourself this question..Does this priority match my daily actions?
The beauty of this exercise is, it helps you develop awareness of what matters the most and makes you question whether or not your lifestyle choices match your priorities. The group members were surprised that their one priority didn't match their daily choices or actions. The same thing applies to your needs, wants, values, and beliefs. Do you want one thing, but find yourself going in a different direction? If you are not aware of your needs, wants, values, and beliefs, there will be a greater chance that you'll not fulfill your goals and purpose. Which leads me to another question to ask yourself... What Are My Goals? What is My Purpose? So far we have covered, 1.) The importance of awareness! 2.) Awareness of how you feel about yourself! 3.) Awareness of your priorities, needs, and wants. The last topic I want to cover is, Awareness of Your Purpose and Goals! Each of these topics are directed toward helping you improve your low self confidence. Take each of these topics into consideration when you are in need of feeling better about yourself. Awareness of your Purpose for Improving Low Self Confidence: Everyone has a purpose on this earth! Everyone! However, the hard part is, believing you are worthy enough to have a purpose! (This goes back to "how you feel about yourself!") No one can tell you what your purpose is? Only you can do that! However, you will not fulfill your purpose feeling down about yourself, being negative, feeling like everyone is against you, and living life unaware! However, here are a few tips for helping your find your purpose... - Trust that you have one!It may take a while for you to find it (or create it), but that doesn't mean that you were not created for something great! Everything and everyone has a purpose on this planet! Your purpose does not have to be huge; sometimes the smallest tasks can have the greatest impact!
- Pay attention to your hobbies, interests, passions, and relationships. When you pay attention to these areas of your life, doors will open and you'll begin having a brighter view of your purpose than you had before and your low self confidence will begin improving.
However, it's one thing to become aware of your passion, it's another to put it into action, and here's how you do that.. Setting Goals for Improving your Low Self Confidence: Once you are more aware of your values, beliefs, needs, and wants, it will become much easier to set goals for yourself. The article goal setting information will teach you everything you need to know about how to set attainable goals for yourself. This way, you will begin living a life full of passion and purpose. Well, I believe you are definitely on your way to developing a better relationship with yourself! You will begin feeling more confident about your unique self and the term "low self confidence" will be in the past! Go live a life of passion, purpose, worth, and fulfillment. Don't wait any longer!
