How to LIE, CHEAT and STEAL BACK the confidence you were born with…

Every baby is born supremely confident, that’s why they cry, because they have come from a womb where their every need was met 24 hours a day, so they cry with the ultimate confidence that they are worthy of care, attention and connection. 

If somewhere along the way you have picked up the belief that you are UNWORTHY or NOT GOOD ENOUGH in some way then now is the time to STEAL BACK the confidence you were born with.

1. LIE – your body is controlled by your thoughts - a thought can make you blush, your heart race, or your stomach rumble. LIE to yourself by using a POWER POSE and a VICTORY DANCE to trick your mind and body into feeling confident. By pretending we have won something and are celebrating with an AIR PUNCH, or MASSIVE CHEER, or DANCE OF JOY we release the reward hormone DOPAMINE and the relaxation hormone SERATONIN – and your body and mind cannot help but feel successful and supremely confident.
   
   
2. CHEAT – Imagine how you will feel when you have achieved what you want; what will you see. the smiles of pride from family or friends, what will you hear e.g. praise and congratulations, what will you smell, taste or touch e.g. the celebratory meal or drink you reward yourself with – the clearer you can visualise your success the more confidently your body and mind walks you TOWARDS IT.
   
   
3. STEAL – when you were a baby and toddler you had an inner cheerleader cheering you on, when you fell you got up and tried again, when you couldn’t do something you kept going until you mastered it – STEAL back that inner cheerleader right now, it is there waiting for you to re-activate it, you haven’t lost it, it just might have got quiet – LISTEN TO IT again and steal back the self-confidence that was there when you achieved those early milestones.
