“A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes" - Mahatma Gandhiji
Self help is confidence in your abilities and judgment. It is such an important quality to have, as without the ability to believe in your own work and actions you may struggle to reach your full potential and live a less fulfilling life.
The meaning of Self belief:
The researchers have a tough time agreeing on what, exactly, self-confidence is. Some say it’s simply believing in yourself, while others go into more detail about your expectations for and evaluations of yourself and your performance.
For non-academic purposes, however, we have a pretty solid definition; this definition comes from the Psychology Dictionary Online:
“Our self-assurance in trusting our abilities, capacities, and judgments; the belief that we can meet the demands of a task.”
Here are the four most important steps to learning how to believe in yourself:
Believe it’s possible. Believe that you can do it regardless of what anyone says or where you are in life.
Visualise it. Think about exactly what your life would look like if you had already achieved your dream.
Act as if. Always act in a way that is consistent with where you want to go.
Take action towards your goals. Do not let fear stop you, nothing happens in life until you take action.
Types of beliefs:
Positive: I will, I am going to, I can, I want. Negative:I can't, I'm not, I'll never, I won't.
Using Positive Talk To change your self belief and behaviour it is necessary to use self talk. Positive self talk has three characteristics:
• It consists of * I * statement. • Uses present tense. • Is positive and enthusiastic.
Self beliefs for accomplishment
• Every thing happens for a reason. • There is no such thing as failure. • Whatever happens take the responsibility. • It is not necessary to understand everything to use everything to use. • After yourself, people(teachers, mentors, parents) are your grateful resources • There is no lasting success without commitment.
Ways to improve self beliefs
