Frequently,
confidence is developed by doing new things and eventually gaining the skills to do them well. The
fact that they are new initially poses a challenge, because new can be
perceived as "difficult".
Most people who lack confidence can be self-conscious, taking an over-critical view of themselves. They often believe that whatever it is they would like to do, something somehow will go wrong. This pessimistic view is inhibiting and restricts them from trying new things. They might avoid a social situation which means meeting new people, or addressing a group at work. As a result, they will live within ‘comfort zones’ as a means of protection themselves from possibly (often imaginary) unpleasant & embarrasing outcomes. Such 'living in the box' stifles personal development and the ability to live & enjoy life to the full.
For example, the person might avoid:
• Drawing attention to him/herself
• Speaking to groups of people
• Using the telephone
• Applying for promotion at work, or a new job
• Learning new skills
• Asking someone they like for a date
• Starting a new project or hobby
• Meeting new people in unfamiliar circumstances
• Sitting an examination
• Travelling to unfamiliar places
Having confidence is about having a positive belief that you can access a vast reserve of unused internal resources. Hypnotherapy facilitates the development of this belief. |
What we are capable of doing or learning, what skills we
have, how we communicate with others, how we feel about others,
the way we respond to challenges, and, importantly, how we feel about ourselves.
The more we expose ourselves to new and challenging situations
the quicker we are likely to build lasting confidence.
Often a person might feel unable to take that very first step, for example, go
to a night class, meet someone new, address a meeting, take up
driving, sit an examination, start a new hobby, studying, job interviews, moving house, dating, talking to strangers, and other similar new experiences.
In
all of new situations your imagination may work negatively to warn you of the possibility that things can go wrong!
The
power of your imagination can either work for or against you.
We want to make it work FOR you by having a positive mind-set.
With hypnosis you can achieve an inner confidence and enjoy expressing an outer confidence on social and business occasions. You overcome blushing, sweating and shyness.Your self-esteem rises, all of which increases your enjoyment of daily life. You feel valued, unique and proud of yourself for who and what you are.
It also becomes much easier to occupy the centre of social and business groups. Giving a lecture, presentation, or a wedding speech without being self-conscious and with positive posture & voice becomes natural. And relations get easier too...You get in touch with the real you and accept yourself much more...confident to be you...that's unique in your own way. |
