It took me a long time to realise the benefits of positive thinking. I had often heard people mention that if you think positive, positive things will happen to you, I used to think they were a bit weird. I now believe they were right and this article explains why.

Growing up through the difficult teenage years and into my early twenties, I felt very sorry for myself. I used to think I was the most unluckiest person in the world. I had a bald patch the size of a ten pence piece on my head, a speech impediment(stutter), I was overweight to the point of being fat, and was short for a male(5ft4).

I believed that I received more mickey taking out of me than anyone else, and life was certainly a struggle. To meet members of the opposite sex when you have a lack of confidence and a speech impediment is not easy. To gain work, order drinks, socialise in general, these were all difficult for me. Everyone else seemingly breezed and eased there way through life.

One day I was at work and a colleague of mine who was about thirty years older than me, commented that I was a very depressive person. I disagreed with him and was quite shocked, I believed that most people worried and stressed about things. He went on by stating that I was always negative about most things in life, always moaning about this or that and very rarely smiled. He went on to say that he had used to be like me, always depressed, moody and stressed until he was given some advice when he was aged thirty. He then proceeded to give me the same advice.

THE ADVICE:

When you feel down, depressed and sorry for yourself, watch the news and read the newspapers and you will see that there are many people worse off than you, and that you are actually one of the lucky ones.

Do you have a low self-confidence? Is it holding you back from being and doing the things you really want in life? Do you frustrate yourself when you don’t feel like you can really go for it? If so then here are seven top tips for boosting your self-confidence whenever and where ever you may be. Here they are:

Regardless of your current feelings view yourself in your minds eye in the situation you wish to be in. If you are worried about starting a new job then see yourself walking into the office on the first day happy and confident walking up-right with positive body language. If you are striving for success on the sports field then run a short movie clip through your mind of how you wish the game to be. At the beginning of a game you can visualise how you will make the first tackle or how you will go around the goal keeper and so on. Doing so really helps build your self-confidence as you can actually see yourself getting the required results.

If as inevitably happens a negative thoughts enters your mind and starts to drag you down and of course it is bound to happen at some point, then deliberately and consciously release it. You can do this by simply moving on to the next more positive thought or if you find this difficult you may wish to place a photo of a favourite place, person or thing in your wallet which you can take a quick glance at which can then immediately stimulate positive thoughts and feelings just like flicking a switch.

If you are facing a problem rather than focussing on the problem itself focus on the tools or positive things that you have at your disposal to overcome the problem. Make a list of the positive assets that you have going for you however small you may deem them to be and bear in mind that: ‘If you think you can, you can’

Get a grip of yourself. It is easy to build a problem up to be much greater than it really is through our own fear and worry. You may find it useful to actually write the problem down, doing so can often help put it into perspective and remove a ot of the worry immediately.

Some people find it useful to memorise a few affirmations that they can repeat to themselves for inspiration when they are struggling for self-confidence. repeating affirmations focussing on what the words mean and not just mindlessly repeating them can help inject positivity into your actions immediately.

Realise you are greater being than you probably think you are. Take a look now and assess your strong points, your skills and abilities. Once you have done this then add another 20% onto what you previously thought you were capable of for we all know that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, why should this be any less true for you or I?

If you have any belief in a higher power, God, or whomever relax and remember that their love is surrounding you, guiding you and providing you with opportunities which ever way you look. Allow the power and feeling of security to flow through you and feel it build up inside you and raise your self-confidence.

So, there you have seven quick tips to boost your self-confidence. Try and make it a habit to use the above techniques as often as possible, doing so will help your mind naturally on its own ooze with positive thoughts creating a self-perpetuating cycle of positive thoughts.

The biggest challenge is finding your barrier to personal growth development and learning how to overcome them.

How do we take an honest look at ourselves and find our flaws that we can improve on? Our ego likes us to believe that we have no faults, and everything is great. It is scared of change and will do everything in its power to keep you comfortable.

The best way to find your barriers to personal development growth is to judge yourself as if your were judging one of your friends.

We can all be honest with a friend when they ask us a specific question for example: Why do I keep attracting the same kind of person who is inconsiderate and always ends up walking away from the relationship?

We can be honest and let our friend know what they should do and what they should change.

So next time you are attempting to figure out your barrier to personal growth development, Look at your life from the outside and pretend you are looking at someone else’s life.

You will then be able to understand what your barriers are.

Once you discover your obstacles you can begin to utilize personal development to begin breaking down these barriers, and begin getting the results you would love to receive. One important thing to remember when working on breaking down your barriers, is that old habits are hard to break.

more positive people and events, who will help you reach your goals.

What exactly does this mean? “People will be attracted to me and help me reach my goals?

You will also begin to attract other people who act and think like you do. They are attracted to your vibrations that you
are sending out.

As you begin utilizing affirmations, visualization, and meditation; these techniques will quickly break down your barrier
to personal growth development. Yes they are free to apply to your life and anyone can learn how to do it easily.

Do you find all of this crazy and hard to believe?

Well if you desire to be successful in some area of your life: then start your personal development journey. Begin
implementing these techniques one by one. Be honest with yourself to find out what your limiting beliefs are. (Yes you
probably do have some.)

Then set a 30 day goal of what you would like to be do have; and begin using the principles we talked about. As you
begin breaking down your barriers to personal development growth you will find yourself achieving your goal that you
set for yourself.

In personal development goals are viewed as being very important in your self improvement. By setting a goal, personal development or otherwise, you have already achieved much!

Did you know that there is a scientific formula that states if you put in 15% of the ground work then 80% of the task will take care of itself – due to the butterfly effect! This is not just personal development spin. By building sound foundations the structure that you place on top of it will be secure!

This is why we hear so many personal development stories where someone has a set a goal and worked hard to achieve it taking small steps each day, week and month to get closer to their goal. All of a sudden the goal, almost miraculously, materializes. Everyone thinks that this person is lucky but it isn’t so. The foundations were set and the butterfly effect took care of the rest.

Now the butterfly effect is in fact chaos theory. It states that small changes made now can have a massive effect later – if a butterfly flaps its wings in Tokyo there may be a tornado in Florida a few weeks later.

In personal development this chaos or butterfly effect can be used to our advantage. Smaller goals are easier to achieve and act as small steps that lead to the main personal development goal.

Follow these 4 simple rules when you set goals:

1. Think of something that you really want to achieve or acquire. Turn that desire into a personal development goal.

2. Think of a plan that will help you to reach your goal.

3. Set stepping-stone goals. Dissect your personal development goal by setting smaller goals from it that build on one another until you have achieved the main personal development goal. Create daily and weekly goals that you know you can achieve. This is real personal development. You are developing yourself by achieving small steps. Small steps such as these will eventually lead to your goal. Remember “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, Chinese proverb.

4. Work with the butterfly effect. Take small steps or small actions that may have tremendous long-term effect. For example, a well-known personal development “guru” wrote one article and posted it to his site. He did no more work on it!

That one article was then picked up by many other internet marketers who enjoyed the content so much that they passed it on to many others. Due to that one article the author was inundated with requests for more information. He went on to write a book that was an Amazon best seller before it was even released due to presales. This was the butterfly effect in action!
