Dont cast away your confidense

CONFIDENT AND UNCONFIDENT are two sides of the same coin, and like a coin, only one side at a time is evident. Whenever un-confidence is felt, it indicates that confidence is present. Ironically, when a person feels unconfident they are quite confident that they feel unconfident. There are plenty of things they are confident about, that have brought them to the conclusion that they are unconfident about something.

To Feel Confident: Stop thinking about what you can't do. Focusing on what you are confident you can do, puts you into a confident, resourceful, state.

CONFIDENCE, SELF ASSURANCE, is perceived as a feeling. The confident feeling and accompanying behavioral response are the same no matter what it is in reference to. To feel and behave confidently, mentally make an inventory of what you are confident you can do. Now confidently make a list of things you are confident you want to be able to do. Focusing on what you are confident you can do, will assist you to begin confidently learning to do what you want to be able to do confidently. You can be confident of that!

 

Thanks, Eric. Your posts are always so good and relevant.

 

Thank you chickenbone- your such a blessing

 

Thanks for the practical (as usual) advice, Eric. But it is hard as heck to cast negative mental chatter out of your mind and focus on things as they really are, things you are confident about. The negative voices and internal bullys just want to have their say. Once you've done it, the confident feeling becomes obvious, because that's the way things really are. Once you've done that, the TMS pain lacks a purpose and disappeared. Tried it last night out hiking and it really does work. But, boy, you've got to really pay attention. Seems so easy to let doubt take over, but it's such BS.

 

Bruce its hard as heck to turn the volume down?

and its because of this chatter that you cant be happy?
