be more confident

I added both “improve my self esteem” and “be more confident” because I feel like I relate self-esteem more with my physical image and confidence more with my personality. However, I feel that these are definitely linked. Me not feeling good about my appearance makes me feel worse about who I am, and vice versa. While it does have to do with what other people think about me, it’s mostly about what I think about me because no matter how much approval I get from others, it never helps.

I want to be less emotional. I want to accept what I’m studying as good enough, because I never have even though I get good grades. Maybe that’s because my brother is in the sciences and everyone I talk to sees the sciences as so much more worthwhile. I want to feel like I’m special and important to the people I care about. I want to feel like a good writer, and like I have talents and skills that people appreciate. I want to feel like there’s something good for me in my future, career-wise and in my personal life. I feel none of those things at the moment.

I’m not sure how to change this about myself yet, which I guess is part of why I am on this site. My goal is to increase my confidence before I move out again in the fall (I temporarily living at my mom’s house – don’t worry I’m only 20 :P).

Confidence is built on ...

Certainty not on uncertainty

Practice finding what you are certain about.

Just like you said you are great with writing, then meet more amazing writers and see how they build on certain principles.

Self Image is Self created perceptions, you can give it a meaning that is your freedom. If you allow your image to be set outside of you, then you experience with the outside influence.

Just like the storm, when you set yourself in the eye of the storm, it is peace but the moment you are on the edge of the storm you feel the blow.

Your feeling is something you embrace, instead of resist, what you resist will persist. When you feel uneasy then slowdown and put your focus on breathing and notice how you are at the center of all the feelings.

I have learned to uncover the confidence when I was climbing to the top of 30 foot pole. The last step was the toughest, there were no where to grab, and all you had is yourself. The more I was afraid, I felt that shaking.

The moment I gave that emotion a new name, and allow it to be shaking but called it confidence then it enabled me to embrace that peace in me to stand on that last step.

The simplest thing you can do is all you need to build confidence.

Just focusing on what you can do.
If you can walk, then walk while you can.
If you can write, then write while you can.
If you can talk, then talk while you can.

I have learned this from my sister who was ran over from a truck. Thankfully she is alive and this one thing, I am grateful to receive and past it on.

just doing what you can, while you can …
the simplest way building confidence. For confidence is built on working on the strength and not by eliminating fears.

yes you are special, then just do special things. then feel you are special is natural.
special people like you always do things in a special way. :)

Thank you for being special
