“Enhance Self-Esteem With This Simple Exercise"
Keep in mind that feelings always follow thoughts and if you want to raise your self-esteem and be happier in the process, you need to choose positive actions that will lead to positive feelings. At this very moment I’d like you to choose to do the following exercise: go to a mirror, take a deep breath, looked deeply into your eyes and say aloud, “I am wonderful… I am confident and content in every way." Repeat this three times. Your tone of voice needs to reflect calmness and strength in order to reinforce your message if you feel uncomfortable at first, take a deep breath and start again, but be certain to use eye contact. I can almost hear you saying, “Why do I have to say something that I don’t believe to be true?" The answer is that what you’re doing in this exercise is consciously reprogramming your subconscious mind by changing the automatic negative thoughts to automatic positive thoughts. Your subconscious mind accepts whatever you say as truth it doesn’t analyze -it simply takes in all the words and thoughts that you feed it literally. By learning to reprogram your subconscious, you’re restructuring your thoughts and soon your feelings will coincide with these positive words. As you consciously feed your subconscious mind positive messages, it will begin to accept them as true and proceed to bring them to reality as conditions, experiences, and events. (The process begins in three to four weeks.) Thus the phrase, we create our own reality. And the truth is we really do. Do this exercise exactly as I have described, twice daily for the rest of your life. It costs nothing and takes about 15 seconds. Even when you become as you want to be, continue this for positive reinforcement. You’ll have nothing but terrific side effects which include improved confidence, a positive outlook, and a healthy mind. Remember, it doesn’t matter whether or not you believe what you’re saying because your subconscious does not know the difference so - just do it! This isn’t up for debate… the proof is in the results.
