Self Confidence and Self Esteem

I have just completed a series of hypnosis recordings for various issues, including irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, HCG Diet, successful test taking, and optimal preparation and recovery from surgery. These recordings were the assimilation of years of effort and seeing positive results in my clients with the techniques I used. Please contact me if you are interested in one of these recordings.
I have been asked by one of my clients to prepare a recording for self-confidence and self-esteem. Realize that this issue ties in to all aspects of your life. Creating a positive internal attitude about your approach to yourself and to your environment is entwined with the amount of self-confidence and self-esteem one maintains.
Usually when I see a client in the office, there is a component of self-confidence that needs to be addressed. Whether this is doing well in school, meeting people socially, getting ahead in your occupation…. virtually every aspect relies on creating that self-confidence…. that we are worthy and we will be successful at whatever the objective is.
In order to tap into an area where a client is having difficulty, I want to create a link, an association, an anchor between something they do well and the issue at hand. Recently I was working with a client who literally could not provide a simple example of anything they could do well. Finally, after waiting a few moments, I said “How about boiling water?”, to which they responded, “Actually I am a pretty good cook.” Now atleast I could anchor the issue of difficulty to the expertise of cooking and have her see that if one is possible, so is the other.
Sometime we have difficulty with self praise. We don’t want to appear as arrogant. However, if you want to truly change your life, you need to change your thoughts about yourself and your capabilities. Acting confident is half the battle.
There was a CEO who was giving a presentation on an unfamiliar topic. He asked an expert to give him enough information to give a short talk in front of a thousand people. The expert in the company felt uncomfortable getting up in front of the large group. When it came time for questions, he took all the questions and just said they would have to take a short break and then, after the break, after consulting his expert , responded with the answers. He had the expert prepare the answers during the break and he was set to go.
The difference between these two….. the speaker was confident he would find a solution to whatever would come up, the expert was terrified of looking foolish, he just stopped himself. Self-confidence is about having the ability to keep going, to find solutions, to accept you may not be the expert but you know how to find an expert and deliver results. That unstoppable feeling!
So how many times in your life have you have been told you can’t do something because you are not smart enough, or good looking enough, or whatever enough….. and who were these people who told you this….. maybe authority figures, like a parent or teacher….. and you not knowing better actually believed them! Well I am here to tell you to stop believing in them and start believing in yourself and notice the difference in how you feel and the result you get in the various aspects of your life!!!
