Your Success is a Direct Result of Your Belief System
I’m not talking about religion or philosophy here. What I mean is your belief in your ability to succeed.
Believing in yourself means having faith in your own capabilities. It means believing that you CAN do something — that it is within your ability. When you believe in yourself, you can overcome self-doubt and have the confidence to take action and get things done.
When you’re drowning in fears, doubts, and self-sabotaging behaviors, success feels out of your grasp. All of the skills, training, and tools in the world won’t change your life.
The magic happens by simply believing it’s possible. Your belief in possibility is necessary to the work, the experimentation, and the consistency needed to change your life.
This mini-course is essential for you if:
- You’re sick and tired of not feeling the success you believe you can have.
- You’re done with not taking action on what matters most to you.
- Thoughts of, “I’m bad at this,” quickly escalate to, “I’ll never be good at anything!”
- You want to focus less on what you can’t do or what you’ve not yet done.
- You want to focus more on where and how you can succeed.
- You are ready to recognize your natural abilities and can give you permission to stop banging your head against a wall.
This mini-course is NOT for you if:
- You are not yet ready or willing to put in the effort to improve your self-efficacy.
- If you doubt that you can actually change your own beliefs about your own capabilities.
- You’re satisfied by being defined by what you can’t or won’t do.
- You like how it feels to hit your head against that proverbial wall.
What’s Included in The “Believing Yourself” Mini Course
Have you ever doubted yourself?
Some degree of self-doubt is considered normal. But knowing this doesn’t necessarily make things easier when self-doubt comes knocking at your front door.
But here’s the thing: self-doubt keeps you from being your best self. And your best self is awesome.
No matter what you’re facing, I’m going to deliver four proven practices. These four practices, when taken deliberately, can go a long, long way to support you to boost the power waiting within your capacity for self-efficacy.
Proven Practice #1 – Embrace Who Your Are
Practice #1 is to increase your belief in yourself by embracing who you are. This is a stance of strength and courage. In this module, I’ll give you the step-by-step guidance you’ll need to apply this practice.
Worksheet #1 – Embrace Who You Are; Excercise length – 60-90 minutes; Reflection time – 5 minutes
Proven Practice #2 – Live Strong, Feel Strong
Practice #2 makes you flip your view to a positive perspective. Quite often we can’t believe in success because we focus on what we can’t do, what we don’t have, who we can’t become.
Instead, you can turn this around and think about something that’s going really well for you. After all, our strengths are the catalyst to moving from being good at something to being exceptional.
Worksheet #2 – Live Strong, Feel Strong; Excercise length – 60-90 minutes; Reflection time – 5 minutes
Proven Practice #3 – Believe in Yourself
Practice #3 is going to explore how to expand your growing personal confidence and belief in yourself. Today you’re going to be your own coach, advocate, or cheerleader.
That’s right. Today you will encourage yourself through a half-day exercise. This exercise is designed to further develop the concepts we’ve been exploring in the past two modules.
Worksheet #3 – Believe in Yourself; Excercise length – Half a day; Reflection time – 30 minutes
Proven Practice #4 – Time to Acknowledge
Practice #4 is all about reflection. It’s time to acknowledge your successes and achievements.
Break down the steps you’ve taken in the previous exercises and see how each one has contributed to the overall result.
Repeat the exercises as often as you can and occasionally reward yourself for the effort you’ve invested into self-discovery and fulfillment.
Step Out From the Others’ Expectations
Being authentic feels like a big risk, and you might be afraid of criticism. Remember that your experience of life is about you, and their experience of life is about them.
Doing things that scare you will solidify the confidence you need to be your truest self. It sounds counter-intuitive, but being vulnerable — accepting your fear and not hiding it — is the surest path to building strength.
Make time for adventures that are completely out of your normal routine. It could be jumping out of a plane, taking a fitness class, or picking up a paintbrush. Pick something that seems fun but scares you at least a little bit and jump in.
You can learn so much about yourself from these activities that you should engage in them regularly. Add variety and do new things often.
