10 ways to start believing in yourself

Believing in yourself is another way of saying that you trust. What is trust? Confidence is having a bit of security and is often linked to self-esteem. This is to be sure of yourself. You think you have a lot to offer and they are valuable. Much of this is accomplished by the achievements and successes. Some people pass through the opinions of others.

Do you trust also means that you think you can handle any situation that comes your way in life. To help you prepare to acquire knowledge and experience.

Many times we do not fight for what we want, either because they do not believe that we can do, either because they are not motivated. You can not be motivated by fear of failure to achieve our goals and what is often caused by believing that we are not able or are not worthy of success. Motivation requires self-esteem and confidence.

You must realize that you are valuable and worthy since birth. Here you have some tips that can help you improve your level of confidence:
1. Volunteering

Nothing makes you feel better about yourself to help others and make another day that much better. Feel useful and needed by others to improve their confidence and self-esteem. You can learn new things about yourself, the things that make you feel good and things that make you feel safe.

Acts of kindness improve your mood by increasing serotonin production. It is an activity that everyone wins!

"Being useful to others first, if you want to be good to yourself."
Seneca

2. List

Make a list of everything you have experienced and / or achieve in your life. Then you can start adding new things as you go. See the list is something that produces incredible motivation (I speak from experience).
3. Surround yourself with people who support you

If you have people around you who criticize the way, your words can affect your perception of yourself. At least you can understand the following facts to then it is best if you can eliminate from your life or at least the minimum to reduce your contact with them.

- You must understand that their words are their opinions only.
- You must understand that their opinions are not facts.
- You must learn not to take things personally.

Find people with values ​​and interests similar to yours to support you and help you progress. These people will trust you and I know they are there to help when needed will give you great motivation and confidence.

"A true friend does gets in your way unless you go down"
Arnold H. Glasow

4. Start accepting

Believe in yourself, you must accept as a person. How can you believe in something you can not accept everything? If you do not accept you as you are then you reject a part of yourself and maybe even come to hate. It is impossible to believe in you, like rejection and hatred are present.

Accept that you need to start increasing your confidence gradually. Remember that you can not improve what you can not see or are not accepted. So do not be afraid to acknowledge the good and less good.

You better accept it as you try to fight against yourself. Once completed, you can change or improve what we do not like. Each owner of his own life and we all have the potential to be better.

"Once we accept our limits, we can overcome"
Albert Einstein

5. Shift your focus

Stop focusing on what you lack or what is wrong in your life. Focus on instead of being grateful for what we have and for all areas of your life that are going well.

Each time you "hear" you think something negative (and probably feel as strongly or down), re-think something that we are grateful and smiled.
6. Face new challenges

Create opportunities for you to prove that you are more than you think you are now. What do you think you are as a person probably could be defined by others. Again, this is only your opinion.

You can start small by taking a class or doing a workshop to teach something that is considered a weakness in you.

You want to make it big? Learn something new. Take a vacation in peace. Starting a business / company. Do something that scares you.

"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."
Seneca

7. Keep learning and growing

The. More knowledge and understanding of the things that we will be able to handle any situation This includes learning more about yourself, namely assistance.

This means that you should read much, take courses and participate in seminars and workshops. The journal is a valuable tool for self-exploration. Explore! Search!

Study how the way we work, how human beings function in general and how the world works. We will begin to learn and how to use this knowledge in any situation, you gain experience and give you wisdom. Wisdom and increase your confidence.
8. Set goals

Set small and achievable in the short term to show you that you can achieve what you set out with a little effort.

"There is no lazy people, people who not only have goals that inspire"
Tony Robbins

9. Stay their own expectations

Often, the lack of confidence is that we are pursuing goals that others have set for us and not our own goals. It is not your job to meet the expectations that others have of you. It's your job to live up to their expectations, you should realize their own dreams and use their talents, skills and gifts to serve the world.
10. Stop comparing yourself to others

Appearance, achievements, success and everything else should be only yours. You have all the tools you need to achieve your goals and not the goals that others have done.

I wish you the best of luck in their efforts to start believing in yourself. This is a very laudable.

However, when you wake up, react and reflect on what you have done or not done, there is no time for regrets, just published, leave all the past behind us and start thinking, not only to reason, the reason is limited, read, write, study, learn, make, try, fail, bereavement, bankruptcy and knows that only the most privileged, perhaps one of them.

Enjoy fall in love and do it just for fun, without waiting for a request, but dignity.
Never make decisions or say something when you're really angry, and if it's not do it again, if you start practicing early there will be very little to regret it later, no harm people and learn to be better decisions during his life in all its aspects.
Study course that you can study.

This is labeled as a person determined and committed, serious, valid and reliable partner for any business, company or person. Turn value to the world.
Learn, study and practice each of the human, civil and moral, and then live with that freedom, so that you will feel free Salinger, lightweight, capable, just because you know that the negative values ​​that destroy , damage, harm, cover and become a burden on the time and most people carry the burden of their lives, both suffer.

To get rid of their prejudices, fears and mental negativity, you can enjoy your real friends, your family, your pet, a sunset or a flower, never ashamed to recognize what makes you happy. If you are studying, but also supported, as fun, responsibly, with intelligence, with wisdom.
Not a decision lightly, see their activities without having to worry about what comes after all that God puts us on the path of opportunities and challenges, the key to life lies in the acceptance of any good and bad in everything, and we can not win, that everything is possible at any moment divine, but we lose if we forget everything learned.

Heuristic: if we think without thinking



What are heuristics?

Sometimes when decisions or conclusions, called a type of mental shortcuts heuristics. A heuristic is a rule or a simple strategy to solve problems such as "it is more expensive, the better," "If you are overweight because they eat a lot," "if a food in a health food store should be healthy", "if A is friends with B, and A is a good person, then B is a good person. "

Heuristics help to think or not to think less and act quickly, you can make life easier, but often the results of this way of thinking is wrong and illogical.

If we use, we will focus on the similarity of an object to another, and that to apply the first and second acts. For example, high-quality products are often expensive, so if you see tend to think a face to it's high quality. Of course this is not always the case. And sometimes the producers or distributors are focused on the sale of products that we would not buy if you think about leaving the details.

For example, we tend to think that if the package says "100% natural" means that it is better and healthier, and we bought it without thinking much about it. But if you look at the label, because it is full of hydrogenated fats. Sometimes it's the same package that you choose us makes a product. For example, we can see a few cookies in a box with bright colors, seems with images of strange characters, sugar balls, the food, and immediately thought it was a waste of a lot of sugar, which is clearly aimed at children and "junk food more like "(another heuristic). However, if we dig a little deeper and read the ingredients, you might be confused again.

Presidential election, the candidate is usually higher, and almost never will soon decide a candidate, because he tends to be seen as mentally weaker soon. But if the same bald head, it changes everything is shaved: it is perceived as masculine and dominant.

The representative heuristic is often used to judge people or form impressions of them. For example, stereotypes on race or gender, and what can make it better either sex or certain personality traits that are associated with a particular race. Therefore, most people tend to think (without thinking) a person physically attractive qualities better, or people are considered higher social status is more trustworthy.

Types of heuristics. The availability heuristic

Often we come to a conclusion or another according to the information available on our mind on the issue. For example, if someone asks you if you are someone who is friendly and work on your mind at the first to know seems to be a memory of an event that behave a little angered, one can say that is not pleasant, but rather whether the memory in your mind more than once that he was very good, it's nice concluirás. Sometimes it is useful heuristic: if your mind quickly many examples of this person who is going nicely, it probably is. But often the first thing that comes to mind is not necessarily a good example of how that person is behaving normally.

Another example is in the results of a study showing that people who have seen a lot of television (with all the amount of violence that often) to see, I think they do a lot more violent crime than they showed people think the TV less and Comment observe is true.

Types of heuristics. The heuristic

Attitudes refer to the evaluation of an object does (good or bad). People use the heuristic as a means of decision making. For example, if we have a negative attitude towards a celebrity, we tend to believe negative statements about him, and it would be unwise, dictatorial or poor grades in school.

In one study, students of both sexes, had a. More positive or negative of a woman while eating Thus women, healthy food was more feminine, attractive and pleasant to eat junk food eating.

Another effect of this heuristic is that the purchase makes you think. The number of people who agree with you to a point substantially greater than the current That is: "If I believe in something, most people think the same thing."

When we use heuristics tend?

Of course, while all of the heuristics used from time to time, we are quite capable to draw on the use and reasoning, conclusions and make decisions. This leads us to one or another way of thinking using ... or not you think? We tend to use heuristics:
• When you do not have time to discuss in detail.
• If we go through the vast amount of information is overwhelming enormous and we can not treat.
• When the subject is not important.
• If we have little information or knowledge to have to make an informed decision.
• If you do not want to think about.

What should we do when we buy cookies and have a term of 30 different kinds of cookies, with little time and less willing? It turns out that when an ad for a brand of biscuits several times on television saw immediately come to mind, and thinking (heuristics) "is a brand name, and if you know c, because it is good."

That is, sometimes we have no choice but to rely on heuristics in order to be paralyzed or take forever to do anything, but now that you read this article you can achieve when deciding with heuristics and realize better if damage can not be used to make a decision.

Insight and introspection

"We call introspection sees test yourself. Yet, improving why study? Order to change to change. Enjoy introspection something else not become introspection makes compulsories. You would not see if it's changing a pleasure to change, to be something other than you are. This is the obvious reason for introspection.'m angry and I enjoy introspection examine me likes get rid edit rage or, change rage. But modify if introspection (the desire or change answers, reactions to me), there is always a goal in sight, and when the target is reached, not poor introspective mood, depression. way is always associated with depression. do not know you that, if you fall into introspection, if you then change, there is always found a wave of depression. There is always a wave of bad feeling against which we must fight, is forced to re-examine, to rule this mood, and so on. Introspection is a process of transformation, this is something that is not. clear that this is exactly what happens when we do introspection, if we give ourselves to this particular action. This action is made change always investigate an accumulation process somewhat. Whenever there is a duality in a state of conflict and thus a frustrating process. never Porto and how we feel the frustration. in depression

But the clarity is completely different. Knowledge is observation without condemnation. Lucidity creates understanding because there is no condemnation or identification but, silent observation. If you want to understand something, obviously I have observed, not criticize, condemn not, do not pursue it as pleasure or avoid a scandal. Must only silent observation of a fact. No end in sight, but the perception of everything that happens. This observation and understanding of this observation, the feeling that if there is a conviction, the identification or justification. Introspection is self-improvement, and is therefore self-centered introspection. Lucidity is not self-improvement. Instead, it's the end of me, I do., With all their idiosyncrasies, their peculiarities, their memories, their needs, their law enforcement in introspection, it is the identification and conviction. In clear, no condemnation or identification, so there is no self-improvement: There is a big difference between the two. The man who wants to improve, can never be realized because the improvement is to get a conviction, and a result, while the clarity is observation without condemnation. Without rejection or acceptance

This realization begins with external things is to be aware, to be in contact with the objects of nature. First, it is clearly perceived things around you, is sensitive to objects of nature, the people, what it means to be in the relationship, and then there is the perception of clear ideas. This idea, to be sensitive to things, nature, people, ideas - not composed of other processes, but a unified process. There is a constant observation of everything, every thought, feeling and action that may arise in us. And as consciousness is not guilty, no accumulation. What do you do when you condemn a criterion, which means the accumulation and thus improving myself. Be Clearly, the activities of the self, which meant "I" in his dealings with people, with ideas, with things. This idea is from moment to moment and is therefore not achieved by exercises. If you practice, it becomes a habit and not a habit clarity. A spirit is no longer useful, routine, a spirit that works in the routine of a particular action is not dull, flexibility, while clarity requires constant flexibility, great animation.

This is not difficult: it is what you are, if you just want to do something if you want to see your child, your wife, your plants, your trees, your birds. You see, without condemnation, without identification, so this observation is not the full communion of the observer and the observed in full communion. This is what really happens when you are deeply interested in something. Therefore, there is a big difference between clarity and self-improvement, the expansive introspection. Introspection leads to frustration, to new and larger conflicts, while consciousness is a process that frees us from the effect of the self that may be aware, to observe their daily movements, their actions, and is aware of the other. You can do it whenever you want. If you are deeply interested in something, and if I want to know me, know that. My whole being, all the contents of me, and not just one or two layers of my consciousness "

Self improvement begins with who you are today

How much of your self-talk every day consists of phrases like?

If only I could ..

More confident

Be more productive

Procrastinate less

Feel happier

Be healthier

, stop anxiety or anxious

Draw more (or more) in my life

Respect and love me more

In fact, for many of us the chance for improvement is something we strive to correct or change in life? Hope a future state, a better place than we are today.

They are not all bad!

As the press tend to ignore the 99% of the bad stories that millions of good things that happen every day, we choose to focus our negative now tend, I do not like about our lives and set goals to improve things in the future.

Also present bury the positive aspects of our lives now that actually lead to future growth and improvement.

In this sense, the notion of self-improvement and personal development are cultivated by a basic understanding of the beliefs and thought processes to know and feel what is good today.

Self-improvement is a current growth can hold positive thoughts and beliefs, a trip to an exciting and accepted in your life in other places, the better chance to live in harmony with the goal of his life and values.

A house needs a solid foundation does a plant a seed, water and oxygen, and how can a persons develop optimally when it is balanced.? For most of us, this means significantly increase our inner consciousness, above all things that are positive and well because they spend most of the time, tend to find the bad.

How do we achieve a better balance?

Of course, with the right balance with these things in our lives that are not satisfied, is difficult because we have a lot of us know that most of them have not been met.

Interestingly, when we asked people to fight to change your life in order to gain size, asked them to anything you want, against things they want to improve in your life list? On average, there were more things that people improve 3X listed companies (and clarity) about what they wanted in your life that they love each other.

If we can transform this equation and have a balanced list, then we have a solid foundation for growth and improvement.

Believe they are bad, failed undeserved or not worth the time to think with cancer is that we do not move forward until we remove this cancer.

How can we improve our thinking and our starting point improvement greater autonomy?

A. Today attention

We all tend to live in the future, you want to do is ensure that you spend at least 10-15 minutes every morning and evening (before bedtime) is on his list of what you are today, "Today? Things that you like about yourself, what you are good and what you have done in the past.? you need to check at least 5-6 of them and if you do not immediately think of them? They are at the moment? seriously! They are a lot of bad things and some good things to make up for everything

Second Affirmations for Today

I've always been a big fan (and regular) statements? Many of these are demands you about needs and future growth, but some of his claims about today they clearly state the things now stand, or are would like to believe are true.? For example: or "I am an honest, reliable family, friends and strangers," "My friendship with X, Y or Z is a gift" "I enjoy my own thoughts, feelings and talents and enjoy time with me"

Third Meditation

Many people see meditation as a form of escape, a way to improve their future, if practiced, in fact, who is known meditation to improve the immediate moment, and improve their management skills future something in your life. ? Be able to immediately give you calm your mind and focus objectively (without hovering subjectively and without worry or be anxious) in your life is an extremely effective way to get the earth to be immediately grateful, respectful and happy in their lives lays the foundation for future improvement of the employee.

As you can see, the improvement is heavily dependent on changing the basis of life, the current re-categorization of his life, and thus laid the foundation for future development.

Therefore, before proceeding dissatisfied on the way to their current living situation and put all their Paris on the future, try your efforts in pursuing the size focus today and tomorrow even bigger can.

Dark Season - positive changes in my routine

I have a lot of a blog called "selecting the brain lately. This is a blog that focuses on personal development, motivation and productivity. Probably that I possessed a little with the idea of ​​improvement, and if it's just for a short time To read this article, I think, gives me a boost to my positive thinking and productivity am.

I decided to write a few things I would change my routine. The two main examples are to reduce the amount of TV I watch and try to get a little earlier. I can from experience that the morning hours are the best things done talking, I do not lose them in bed. Anyway, I have a weekly Sunday and my alarm if you have it. Time to get up on Monday morning, the sick, and could not bear to move Since then I have most of this week, it really does not make much sense. I thought I could use a few of my books I have not had time to read yet, but my concentration was also limited. Well, these things happen, but they seem to take a trend or if I had made plans to have a burst of enthusiasm, and left me frustrated.

I rest on the weekend and then try these positive changes in my routine instead of making next week. I write my goals here because it makes it an even greater commitment than trying to achieve what it is. Although it is clear that I did not finish the season dark short-term, I wrote a mission statement for this Christmas and want to progress in the meantime.

I have a little progress this week. I began to apply the HUD. I started taking the information that I think the player has access to write to a constant, then went on through a number of different styles, such as display it on the screen. I want the reader to be aware of how the conversion is in progress. At first I thought about a timetable, like the way it appears at the top of the screen in "To the Moon", but then I felt it would take too much space on the screen. Then, I started thinking about watches. Originally created a base circle in the upper left side, to see how the players move to the next stage of processing. It worked well, but it does not feel good, so I thought to go for something a bit more complicated than.

My last thought is a clock that consists of hands, face and points around the outside pass. Each point represents the individual steps of the process, so that the player can also be seen how many changes are left to come. Since the character will not be cursed during the game, you need to appear and then disappear in an animation. They look for shows melted to the curse as additional validation to the object of the games I still have with me placeholder graphics so I will change its appearance later remove complete.

In addition, I also have a screen of some pretty basic inventory and AI
