On Monday, I gave you the first nine of my 17 ways to develop unwavering belief in yourself. Today, I reveal the final eight. Enjoy!
10. Speak well about yourself. Lose the self-deprecating humor, because it doesn't make people like you. It makes them suspicious of your level of confidence. Employers are very tuned into this. When you interject positive statements about yourself, it only serves to emphasize your ability to carry out your duties in a positive manner. Find some middle ground between modesty and boastfulness.
11. Take control of how you feel. Stop allowing others to affect you with their negative outlook or conversation. Put yourself around strong, positive people that care about you and drink of their positive essence. I promise you that doing this will bring about great change in your life.
12. Please yourself. Stop changing for others or worrying about what others think. When you make you better, your success will radiate and send a positive glow to those around you. Don't feel guilty about giving yourself quiet, reflective moments or doing things that make you happy. Even if you have family responsibilities, you can't be good to anyone else unless you are good to yourself.
13. Fill your spare time with positive actions. Learn something, read a book, do something that helps you grow as a person. Forget about indulging in excesses: shopping, food, alcohol — these are all short-term fixes that can lead to long-term dependencies.
14. Measure yourself against yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others. Look at who you were a year, a month, a day ago, and move on from there to who you want to become. Stop wishing you looked, sounded, or acted like someone else. You are you, and you need to be comfortable in your own skin if you're ever going to be successful. You are a beautiful person who has something good to offer the world.
15. Elevate yourself. Stop settling for lousy relationships, poorly paying jobs, or abusive behavior. Take charge of your destiny and remove all those things that are currently weighing you down. Make a list of them and plot a course of action to eliminate negativity from your life.
16. Trust your instincts. Your gut feeling can get you out of more problems than you think. Don't fight it. You have a lifetime of observations, knowledge and intuition that is essential to your survival. You've already conducted thousands of experiments and you've proven scientifically what contributes to and what hinders your success. Don't ignore the conclusions you've reached. Believe in yourself as a new scientist of your own behavior.
17. Use positive words and phrases. When you put positive terminology into your conversations, people will take an instant liking to you. Others will be drawn to your zeal. Learn the lingo of the successful. When problems become challenges and a bad past becomes a history, life seems just a little more manageable.
