Building Self Confidence - How To Get Rid of Self Limiting Beliefs.

A lot has been written about building self confidence but to truly achieve great results you first need to get rid of the self limiting beliefs that you have had since early childhood.

Building self confidence will never fully work while you are still subject to self limiting beliefs that are stored in your subconscious. Until you are rid of them they will affect everything you do, day after day, month after month, year after year.

Please pay attention here. This is majorly important. It can have a huge affect on your life. It does wonders for your mental health, your self confidence, your happiness, being content with just who you are & its effects will flow over into helping your overall physical health.

Here's how it goes. Almost everyone grows up with some negative beliefs. Some more than others. They don't come about intentionally, they occur as a result of "normal" interactions between parents & children.

One of the most important things a person can do is bring up a child. We spend years of schooling learning how to go about our profession, but how many years of schooling do people go through, to learn how to raise children? For most people it's zero! So well meaning parents just do the best they can & in the process cause young children to form beliefs about themselves (& how they fit in this world) which are often just plain wrong & make life more difficult for them than it need be.

Most of this goes on in the first six years of life. Children behave in certain ways & then observe the way their parents react. They then make interpretations & draw conclusions about what those reactions mean & form beliefs about themselves that they grow up with.

Unfortunately many of the conclusions that we come to, although quite valid for a child are often incorrect. They're just the best interpretation of events that you as a child were able to make at the time.

When we grow up to adulthood, we often learn that the negative beliefs we formed about ourselves as a youngster are simply not true. But here's the thing, these childhood beliefs are so stuck in our subconscious that no amount of ordinary reasoning will get rid of them. The negative beliefs stay with us & influence all our decision making & how we interact with others, our self confidence & end up steering our lives in certain directions.

So what can you do about it?

A guy named Morty Lefcoe has spent much of his life addressing this problem & has come up with a wonderful way of dealing with it. You can hold a negative belief for 50 or more years & get rid of it permanently in 20 - 30 minutes by following his method.

It involves using an interactive video which takes you back to your childhood. You examine a negative belief that you might have & then work out what events happened to cause it to form in you as a child.

Having looked at the event & the way you interpreted or gave meaning to that event you are then shown other just as valid interpretations of that event till you come to see that the interpretations that you made were not just the only interpretation but often the wrong interpretation.

I found three things that made this process a little difficult

- Firstly, I felt a bit dumb talking out loud to a computer - answering questions (doing it out loud is an essential part of the process), but it didn't take me long to get used to it.

- Second was working out & admitting that I had some of these negative beliefs (I had 19!!). If you have even the slightest inkling that it might be in you then work through the process, I promise you it is really worth it.

- The third thing was the most difficult for me, that being, remembering events that happened in my childhood that I drew negative conclusions form. Some I was able to brain storm quite quickly, others took nearly a week with the question in the back of my mind & jotting down memories as they came to me. Morty gives you a few tricks to help jog your memory. So it takes about 20 - 30 minutes to get rid of a negative belief plus the extra time you may need to remember things. Please don't be put off by this, the results are life changing!

By far the best way to understand the program called "ReCreate Your Life" is to give it a try & see what it does for you & you can do that now for FREE!

Morty has put the first three negative beliefs on a web based interactive video that you can work through to see if it is helpful to you. The three negative beliefs he works you through are:

- I'm not good enough

- I'm not important

- Mistakes & failure are bad

Most people have these. If you don't think you have, try it anyway. You may discover that they are imbedded deeply within you.

His "ReCreate Your Life" program has made a huge difference to my life. It gets rid of your self limiting beliefs & enables the building of self confidence to happen as a natural outcome. I strongly suggest you give it a try.
