Believe In
Yourself
By A.J. Mahari
Doubt is the result of fear. Second guessing ourselves often could
be an indication that we need to learn to trust ourselves more than
we currently do.
How many things or decisions do you approach in your life more from
fear than confidence? The less we believe in ourselves the more we
will struggle with choices, decisions, and every day situations
that challenges us in a myriad of ways to cope to the best of our
abilities.
What many people may not realize or consciously be aware of in the
living of life is that taking it one moment at a time is truly a
gift that you can give yourself. If you try to think too far ahead,
or if you focus on the past you increase many fold the stress that
you will feel.
This stress can impede your believing in yourself. When you believe
in yourself you can and will cope. Sometimes we don't know how we
are going to cope with certain stresses and challenges in our
lives. Believing that we can cope, however, is the key to actually
coping effectively.
Believing in yourself requires loving kindness. You deserve and
need your own love and trust. If you think negatively or live out
of a fear-based place you rob yourself of each and every unfolding
moment that comes to give you a newer and richer sense of all that
can be positive in the moment.
Live moment to moment with the belief that you can cope and you do
know what you need and you can learn to meet your needs if you
aren't already meeting them. Be mindful of your boundaries also.
Believing in yourself is a positive life-giving gift that you can
give yourself in this moment and each unfolding moment to come.
Treasure that. Know that you deserve that.
Ask not what can go wrong. Do not give your energy to the negative.
Focus on the positive. Be excited about your life. Believe in
yourself and the way the you view the world will be much more
positive. The way that you relate to others will also be much more
positive.
Believing in yourself means getting honest with yourself about who
you are, your strengths and weaknesses and then accepting yourself,
strengths and weaknesses and all, unconditionally.
