Destroying Low Self Belief - One Huge Cause Of Fear

How many times in life have you wanted to achieve something that you had to step out of your comfort zone to do? You tried, but you just could not make yourself do step out.

What held you back?
Doubt? Negative self talk? Low self belief?

All of these and more may be true, but they can be reduced to just one word:

Fear

Fear is the prison that keeps you from living life and only you have the key to set yourself free. Paul V Harris

Fear will hold you back in life more than most any other thing.

So how can you overcome fear, instead of it overcoming you?


Today we will look at one of the reasons that fear can overcome you.

Low Self Belief
Low self belief will tell you: you are not good enough, you don't have the capabilities, the talent - etc).

Am I right?

Why don't you believe in yourself?
You heard others and yourself talk negatively about you most all of your life. You can't, you'll never be as good as, you don't have enough talent - etc etc.


These are the sorts of things you heard over and over again from a very young age. How do I know?


This world has a default channel that is totally negative. Everyone is influenced by this channel to at least some degree.


So how can you change your belief in yourself?
You have to change what you are hearing, speaking and thinking about YOURSELF.


Yes YOU are your biggest fan. You need to cheer yourself on. YOU CAN DO IT!
And here's a secret: what you think and speak about yourself WILL affect what others say about you.

So here's an exercise for you today:

  • Make a DECISION to only listen to positive words about yourself and about others too. 
  • Deliberately begin to think and speak positively about yourself.
  • Use words such as "I can, I am, I am able to, I have the capacity to, I have the skills to, I have the right to".
  • Make sure you are speaking out these positive affirmations out loud! Let your mind and your brain HEAR what you have to say about you.

This will start to displace all of the negative you have heard across the years, and you will soon find yourself believing in yourself.


And here's a bonus, you will discover that once you believe in yourself, fear will have less power in your life.

I believe in YOU.
