When you’re full of self-confidence, everything seems to come easy. Self-confidence is a critical factor of living a happy life and accomplishing amazing things. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come easy to most people. At times, it may appear like the world is trying everything it can to demolish any sense of self-confidence you may have.

So what can you do? Gurus across the globe will give you all sorts of formulas to fix your challenges, but really, it begins with 8 simple steps.

Here are 8 ways to start improving your self-confidence right away:

1. Begin small. Start small if you’re lacking in self-assurance. You can make a difference by doing a variety of little things. Here are a few examples:

•  Maintain a high level of grooming.
• Get a new haircut that flatters your face.
• Make a good first impression.
• Get your automobile cleaned and washed.
• Smile.
•  Increase your home’s curb appeal.

2. Take command of your inner monologue. Take note of the negative things you say to yourself and instantly change them to something more pleasant. This takes time and effort, but the result is enormous. It takes 20 positive comments to counteract one negative so load up on what’s great about you.

3. Volunteer. If you get out of your own way and do something for someone else, you’ll be proud of yourself. You might even make a few new friends, which will boost your self-esteem. Volunteering comes with the extra benefit of being free.

4. Prepare yourself. Be ready for everything, whether it’s a work presentation, a meeting with your attorney, a date, or a social gathering. Dress appropriately for the occasion. Who is going to be there? What information do you require? What are the best ways to prepare? When you’re well-prepared, you’ll have a lot more confidence.

5. Make a tiny goal for yourself and achieve it. Success breeds confidence, so make it easy for yourself. Choose a small but significant objective and make it a priority to attain it. Take pleasure in your success. Next time, you’ll be more confident in your ability to achieve a larger goal.

• The most effective strategy to enhance your self-esteem is to have a consistent stream of triumphs. You’ll believe that there’s nothing you can’t accomplish.

6. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed. Do you still get picked on by your sister after 30 years? Tell her to go away until she learns to be nice. Spend time with people who will motivate you. To make life worthwhile, all you need are a few excellent friends. Consider reducing your social circle and keeping only the folks that consistently treat you well.

7. Make a list of your skills, abilities, and achievements. Spend some time being positive rather than focusing on the things you don’t accomplish well. Take a pen and a piece of paper with you.

• What are your most notable accomplishments?
• What do you excel at?
• What are your advantages?
• Make a large list and continue to write until you’re out of ideas. You’ll be astounded by your own brilliance.

8. Avoid making comparisons to other people. Sure, your cousin is wealthier. Your next-door neighbor is more appealing. Your boss has a nicer vehicle. It’s not difficult to locate someone who is improving in some tiny way. Compare yourself to yourself instead of comparing yourself to others. Do you think you’ve gained or lost weight in the past month? What has changed in your bank account since last year?

• Concentrate on your own progress rather than comparing yourself to others.

That’s all. The truth is every aspect of your life is easier when you have a high level of self-confidence. Try out these 8 steps to lay a solid foundation for attaining your big ambitions. You can transform your life if you have strong self-confidence. And if this doesn’t come easy to you, reach out.

I adore the idea that life is constantly presenting me with new challenges and opportunities which most people would call problems. My attitude to them is to remain unafraid of the unfamiliar. I do not see things as problems but instead, as opportunities or challenges that I will be able to conquer and grow through without intimidation.

Your business provides you with numerous opportunities for new learning. The learning curve can be severe at times, but avoid becoming frustrated or overwhelmed, instead be open to what’s to come. Be aware of when originality is essential.

Rather than relying on work time to acquire new abilities, devote time to learning after hours. Putting in more hours enables you to catch up and be prepared should something show up you are unfamiliar with in the past.

New difficulties can arise as a result of arguments with associates, clients, or friends. Remember their perspectives are significant to you. However, you can resist caving into their beliefs simply because the subject is debatable. Your commitment to justice provides you with the confidence to objective. It is more important to reach an agreement that benefits all sides.

Physical injuries are a bit tougher to recover due to the pain and suffering. Rather than being intimidated, meditate to calm your mind and soul and make treatment more comfortable.

Understand that any obstacle that comes your way has an appropriate answer. Have faith in your abilities to overcome obstacles. Your strategy is to devise novel ways to avoid feeling scared by them.

Questions for Self-Reflection:

1. What are my next steps if a method for overcoming obstacles fails?
2. How easily am I able to find answers when confronted with various obstacles?
3. How do I recognize when it’s time to abandon a difficult task?

If you desire additional support in adopting a range of methods to stop being intimidated by new problems reach out to us and let us help.

The situation we’re in with the coronavirus is uncharted territory. As I speak to many of my clients there seems to be a recurring theme going on that requires a conversation that we need to have now and not wait.

We don’t know what’s going on, what it’s going to look like in the future and it’s in these times that we need to support people at an even higher level. One of the underlying challenges I have seen are the choices people are making have not been in the best state of mind. More people are reacting than responding to the present situation and common sense is being thrown out the window.

Realize that when we’re stressed, overwhelmed or frustrated we may resort to an unresourceful state. And what I mean by that is my mentor, Dr Bandler, once said, “When people are stressed, they do STUPID!”

It doesn’t mean you are stupid. You may DO STUPID! Lately, it’s been a recurring theme, not just for people I know, but for myself. If you are making poor decisions, you can trace back and see that you probably were not in the most resourceful place at that time. So, with that being said, I just want to share some thoughts you may not have thought to be important, but if we pay attention to the road ahead, they are.

If you’re not used to being at home or if you’ve always worked from home, but now you have other family members there with you there is a new norm.  The dynamics may have changed with your family, with your kids, with your spouse.

There may be other people interrupting your flow even if your used to being home. Some of the things I see people doing are challenging me.  The other day we went to ShopRite, the bread aisle was empty, the milk was gone, the candy isle looked like there was a buy one get one free sale. All I could think of was, “why are people choosing unhealthy choices in a time of crisis when we have to strengthen our immune system”.

You have to be making better choices to make sure you stay healthy. Milk being a mucus forming product, which can cause allergy challenges and other symptoms of illness. Making you more susceptible to stuff other health problems. Putting bread in your body, which is just flour and water, which makes paste. Something I used when I was a kid to make paper mache.

When the news is telling us that the people that are the most susceptible to the COVID 19 and not surviving are elderly who have immune systems, compromised. In addition, young children who haven’t developed yet or people that are diabetic.

So when I hear this, it really saddens me to think that people are putting bread, sugar, dairy and processed food (garbage) into their body you need to know that’s not the defense against the Coronavirus right now. The defense is taking care of your health, boosting your immune system, choosing wisely. If you feel the need to load up on anything choose healthy vegetables, fruits, clean proteins.

This is even more personal to me because my mom, who has had many medical challenges, has an elective surgery going on that they may be postponing. We had learned through diet that some of her challenges that were causing her immense pain were dramatically reduced when she eliminated certain food groups. Now with the scarcity mindset of the COVID 19, she decides to go buy dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt which isn’t good for her. And I said, mom, I thought we, we figured out you shouldn’t be having dairy. She said, “I just want to make sure I have food in the house because who knows how long I’m going to be in here.”

Now I don’t think my mother’s unique. I think there’s a lot of people in that fear, fight and flight response right now that are “not necessarily doing smart” and that bothered me. I said, “Wow mom, that’s not the best thing for you. You don’t need to be having that. There are enough other resources out there to get what you need. She answered, “which is why I need to make sure I have protein”.  “What are you talking about? There are so many other sources of protein. It doesn’t have to be that”. So, I really want you to start looking at some of the things you’re doing because here’s what I’m projecting.

I’m projecting. If we get stuck in our home for the next month or two, we’re going to have people that will be 10 to 20 pounds heavier, more predisposed to diabetes or other kinds of illness. We are going to have other issues they’re going have to deal with more than just the coronavirus that they haven’t thought about. I believe you must stand guard at the gate of your mind. It is as important as anything else.

The other day my husband went to Costco and I said, “make sure nothing comes into our home that’s not healthy.” Now, please listen to why I said that. I used to have an eating disorder. I spent 13 years in dis-ease with myself while dealing with an eating disorder, compulsive overeater and bulimic. I was consuming anywhere between $50k-$100k a year in food. Some people have addictions with alcohol, smoking, shopping, sex, gambling, mine was food. Today I have 26 years of abstinence from hurting myself which means I don’t allow myself to indulge in self-deprecating behavior.  I found new healthy means to deal with my emotions.  I hear many people use these times as an excuse to continue to hurt themselves and I am suggesting you take this time to love yourself and choose wisely.

When you’re stressed, you’re going to go back to whatever was familiar for you whether is was resourceful or not. So if your ism, your dis-ease, when you don’t feel good about things is doing things like shopping or eating or drinking or other things that aren’t going to serve you, then you need to be aware at this time. A lot of people are stressed, rightly so.  You get to choose how you are going to deal with things in a place that will serve you versus not.

Start thinking of ways you can be resourceful. Start my not putting things in your home that don’t work for you. If you’re saying to yourself, we’re not going to be ever going out again, let me buy this big jar of ice cream. Well, do you really need ice cream? Because if you going to live tomorrow and life’s going to be okay with ice cream be on the top of your list and is that the story your telling yourself to fill a need right now? Ask yourself, “do I really need to get that?”

Here’s what I’m seeing, more illnesses come from people’s immune system not being taken care of while they are loading themselves up with food what will not give them life but take it away. People taking care of themselves by exercising, making sure they’re drinking enough water, alkalizing their diet, whether it be lemon water or apple cider vinegar.

The best defense, washing your hands, being smart. If you go out, take your clothes off, wash them, shower and put new clothes on not to be touching your face. There are things we can be doing including not putting garbage in your body that’s going to make you sicker. That’s not an option right now.

Find things to do that will lift your spirits. You know when you’re healthy and you’re laughing and you’re having a good time, it harder to get sick. You need to be doing things that fill you up. We just had a social online with 30 people. We were at laughing and having fun. We were focused on connecting with each other and filling our emotional bank accounts with love.

We still have to have life go on. We still need to support ourselves in some manner. I encourage you to support the local businesses that are open even if you’re ordering from them and having them deliver so that we make sure that businesses are in business tomorrow. When we’re done with this, it’s important to continue to support the economy.  Also, to support yourself mentally what you’re putting in your head. If you’re watching the news 24/7 you’re only hearing negative stuff. You’re going to feel like you’re in a fear fright mode and I’m going to encourage you to find some light in it all by counting your blessings. Find something to be grateful for there is always good to be found.

Find some light with some family members and friends connecting online. I encourage you to do it. We had a sing-along one night with one of our friends, another group I know did a movie online together where they were using zoom and sharing conversations. Whether it’s a Facebook LIVE or whatever it is, create the community, connect with people in that way.

Most important please choose you, what I mean by that is choose healthy. Take care of yourself in this time. There is no excuse to not be doing that. Not nourishing yourself in a healthy way. You don’t need to eat twice the food used to eat before just because it’s there. If you’re bored, you find something else you can do and stay out of the kitchen and close the pantry cabinets.

Ask yourself better questions; What is it I really want in this moment? Do I want a hug, do I want attention? Do I want to be around people? Do I need to pick up the phone? Do you need you to do something else? Maybe I need a nap but ask yourself better questions before you do things that aren’t going to serve you for the long run.

I love you and want you to take care of yourself. Share this if you think it’s going to help somebody. I think we need to start helping people by being the light in what feels like darkness.

Let’s pray for the people that need our help. Let’s be there to support them in the best possible way we can but do that by taking care of yourself first. I love you! Be safe, healthy and happy! I Love You! Thank you!

If you feel like you are having a hard time emotionally dealing with all this reach out I can help you.

Winter brings hibernation to not only bears but to many humans. When the weather is cold and the skies are dark and cloudy, it’s easier to feel down and despondent. The feeling of hiding and just not going out can become a problem. If you struggle with bleak feelings during the winter, it’s good to know that there’s help and hope available to you without an anti-depressant medication. Of course, you’ll want to check with your physician before making any changes to your health regimen.

There is something called Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) marked by depression in the winter months when less natural sunlight exists. In spring and summer, the depression and sadness normally disappear. Not everyone is affected by SAD. Somethings may resemble it but there are easy remedies to avoid depression in the winter months as you will see here.

Perhaps taking on a new hobby, learning something different like skiing or snowboarding can bring you the mental and physical benefits of exercising while also finding a way to enjoy the winter weather.

Depression is Treatable – Even if it’s Only Occasional

Treating depression is necessary. If your feelings of depression don’t run deep, you may want to start applying some of the suggestions above and see how your mood elevates.  Nonetheless, if you’re just feeling bummed out and frustrated during the winter, the best way to avoid the winter blues is to concentrate on tactics that work during the season.

You may choose to be joyful. Focus on the things that matter to you and make you happy. Winter is just a season, and you’ll have spring, summer, and fall to do all kinds of great things outside in the warmth of the sunshine. Remember, anything you can do when it’s dark outside, you can do on a gloomy winter day.

Anxiety and depression, without you knowing it, will take over your life. To maintain balance and realize when there might be a problem, it is important to stay in touch with your inner self or inner critic.

It has become very common for people to experience fear, anxiety, stress and depression and for decades they have been given a medication that has only served to mask the symptoms but never to eliminate the problem. Think about how many people you may know that are on anti-depressants and still depressed. It has become epidemic and it doesn’t have to be.

If you have severe anxiety or nausea, make sure to see a health care professional. Nevertheless, there are natural ways to reduce depression by yourself for everyday stress and anxiety.

Here are some herbs, tips, and techniques you can use to alleviate your anxiety:

1. Passionflower is a common herb known to help lower anxiety. Passionflower is as beneficial for many as some prescription medicines. As anxiety and insomnia often go hand in hand, it also assists with insomnia.
2. Self-Hypnosis. Hypnosis can be a great way to relax and get in touch with your subconscious. Self-hypnosis enables you to perform techniques on yourself instead of requiring someone else’s assistance. There are many strategies of self-talk and self-hypnosis including and limited to affirmations, mantras, meditations and breathing exercises.
3. Proper Nutrition. It is easy to forget about the intense connection between how you feel and what you put into your body. If you ever saw a child after they were given a sugary snack it is a good reminder that food affects your emotions and behavior. Remember to take care of yourself by eating a well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water. It can help you reduce anxiety.

• If eating right is difficult for you, be sure to take a natural supplement in the form of a multivitamin and avoid chemicals, sugar, processed foods, alcohol and caffeine when possible.

4. Control Your Time. Running around franticly can cause anxiety. Perhaps you need to look at what’s important that you must do and what you must not. Then what to eliminate or delegate to someone else. When you manage your time you can schedule in what you also need to help refill your own tank so you are ready for what’s next. This will help you stop reacting and start responding. Remember to schedule time for fun and relaxation too.
5. John’s Wort. St. John’s Wort is a natural supplement that has been used for centuries that helps with both depression and anxiety. It’s best used for mild to moderate cases.
6. Acupuncture is an ancient art that can reduce your anxiety by enabling you to feel calm and relaxed. It can be an effective low risk treatment option for anxiety and involves the use of thin needles that are used to relax your muscles.
7. Worry Time. If you find yourself worrying all the time, it would be a good idea to limit it by creating a specific time. Decide on the amount of time you desire and what time of day would work best for you. Maybe 7pm -7:30pm becomes the time where you allow yourself to worry as much as you want. Worrying is simply no longer tolerated during the rest of the day.

• Any time you feel worries arise during other times of the day, tell yourself that they have to wait for your worry time. You’ll soon find that you won’t really worry all that much during your worry time!

8. Studies have shown that regular exercise can reduce anxiety and depression. Exercise produces serotonin (the “feel good” hormone), relieves stress, increases oxygen levels throughout the body, and relaxes your muscles. Create a schedule that works for you perhaps 3 times a week for 1 hour at a time.
9. Select a time that you can meditate each day. It doesn’t have to be for long periods of time you can start out slow and build your way up. For some people 10 minutes is a long time for others it’s an hour. Find what works best for you. Find a quiet, relaxing place and focus on your breathing while you relax. If you would like to use an APP on your phone or even find a guided meditation on YouTube. Next, immerse yourself in visualizing that you are living the life you desire. Allow yourself to let go of what no longer serves you and step into what you truly desire. Let it help you relax, inspire, and motivate you.
10. Valerian Root. This is a great alternative if you are having challenges sleeping. This is another natural anxiety herb as well. Valerian root can be taken as a tea or a capsule and should be taken approximately two hours before you go to bed.

Whether you choose a natural herb, activity, or life change to reduce your anxiety, you’re making a good decision when you opt to go with a natural solution to your problem. 

Remember that you get to control your emotions and choose whether or not to let them take you over. If you want to eliminate anxiety and depression start small and find a few of the recommendations that you want to implement and make them part of your daily routines.

Start small and build your way up until you feel you have been able to reduce or eliminate the stress of anxiety and depression all together.

One in five individuals during their lifetime will experience some form of depression, and it is the world’s leading cause of disability. The good thing is depression can be treated and doesn’t have to become a lifelong sentence.

Depressive symptoms and disorders exist in many forms and treatment for depression also is available.

Different Types of Depression

Major depression— severe signs that conflict with working, resting, learning, feeding, and enjoying life. An episode can occur only once in a person’s lifetime, but more often, a person has several episodes. When you are experiencing major depression it affects all areas of your life and it becomes difficult to cope without treatment.

Persistent depressive disorder— depressed condition lasts for a minimum of 2 years. A person diagnosed with chronic depressive disorder may have major depression spells along with less severe symptoms, but symptoms must last for 2 years or more.

Slightly different forms of depression, may develop under unique circumstances include:

• Psychotic depression, that happens when a person has severe depression with some form of psychosis such as an unsettling false belief or breaking from reality (delusions), or hearing or seeing disturbing things other people can’t hear or see (hallucinations).
• Postpartum depression, is much more extreme than the “baby blues” felt by many women following birth, as hormonal and physical changes and the new responsibility of caring for the child may be overwhelming. It is estimated that after giving birth, 10-15% of women experience postpartum depression.
• Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) marked by depression in the winter months when less natural sunlight exists. In spring and summer, the depression and sadness normally disappears. SAD can be handled successfully with light therapy, but with light therapy alone, nearly half of those with SAD are not getting better. Antidepressant drugs and psychotherapy may reduce the symptoms of SAD, either alone or in conjunction with light therapy.

Bipolar disorder­—  also called manic-depressive illness, is not as common as major depression or persistent depressive disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by variations in alternating mood — from severe elevations (e.g. mania) to extreme lows (e.g. depression).

Dysthymia — less extreme form of depression, dysthymia (or dysthymic disorder), entails long-lasting symptoms that do not impair severely, but prevent one from functioning well or feeling good.

Have you ever wanted something so badly but before you even took that first step you found yourself stuck in your tracks? Your mind went off on its own journey of fear and dismay and you found anxiety stopping you from getting what you really want.

When I force myself to have a clear mind, I fulfill my greatest potential. Removing anxious thoughts gives me the opportunity to focus on what is to come.

There will always be unforeseen problems in life, however, I don’t feel uncomfortable handling them. I believe my background is strong and it acts as a great guide and decision-making tool. Your past is always preparing you for the present and the future. Celebrating self-confidence relieves me of anxiety.

I constantly tell myself that I am capable. This mantra serves as a meaningful reminder that I am worthy and deserving of all things great that come my way.

Not giving into the anxiety keeps me calm and gives me the mental clarity to figure out the challenges that I am facing in the moment. Instead of feeling stressed about the situation, I take frequent timeouts to breathe and re-evaluate them.

Acknowledging only what I can control and not what I can’t, takes my mind off what is out of my grasp. I do not allow an event or circumstance to burden me for more than a few minutes. I have seriously set a timer at times and said I need 15 minutes to stew in this and then I will let it go. It is ok to have a pity party but limit it. If you don’t it can last a lifetime. When I remind myself of that, I am more effective at finding resourceful solutions to any given situation.

It’s easy for me to cope with difficult issues because I choose to keep a level head. Comments and opinions, I don’t like are beyond my power, so I let them go as quickly as they come. When I take this approach, I am able to draw on my strengths and skill without getting caught in the weeds of all the stuff going on around me.

Today, I live a more fulfilling life as I eliminate any anxious thoughts that make their way into me. My heart is at peace because I allow it to manifest positivity. I am committed to living my best life and stepping into my true potential at all times.

Self-Reflection Questions to Start Your Journey to Avoid Letting Anxiety Stop You:

1. What circumstances make me anxious?
2. How does my self-confidence affect my experiences?
3. When am I most confident in my potential?
