    What You'll Also Discover Inside...

    Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you should first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. This way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

    Communicate with positive and confident people more. Positive individuals are not trying to pressure you. Choose or modify your social circle, as it directly affects your self-confidence. There is a right phrase - "Lives with the cripple, learns how to limp".

    Exercise. Once you exercise, even just simple walking, you'll find out that you get this surge of adrenaline. This is because happy hormones are released and thus, you feel more confident about yourself, and more confident that you are actually capable of doing great things. Plus, once you exercise, you'll get to be healthy and very beautiful, too.

    This book will help you to build your self esteem.  

    I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

    The next step is to put the things you have learned in action and begin to change your life.

      Chapter 1 - How to Defeat Shyness

      It may not come as a surprise if you confess that one time or another you felt self-conscious when you are placed in a room full of strangers. But, have you ever experienced so shy that your heartbeat started to race when somebody asked you out on a date but you were too shy to say yes? That is another form of social anxiety.

      Why do people experience shyness? Everyone tends to feel shyness at differing levels. Your shyness might be because of the following:

      Negative self-image

      Individuals who have a negative image of themselves usually assume that their unique characteristics are not as interesting as other people, thus they are not worthy of praise or admiration. They often resort to attempting hard to fit in but often end up not liking their own selves. Psychologists say that you have to go back to a person's experiences when growing up because generally, it is during this time that their image of themselves is developed.

      Extreme self-preoccupation

      Self-preoccupation is when you become overly sensitive to all the things that you are doing or saying, it is as if you are in the center of attention. This feeling is only going to create anxiety because you start to question your every move. Your focus is centered on the things that you are doing wrong.

      False labeling

      When you say and find out yourself as a shy person, you begin to live up to that image.

      To defeat shyness and social anxiety you should use a few strategies:

      Every person is unique. You have to find your strengths and improve on them. Instead finding what is wrong with you, find something that you are good at and focus on consistently doing it. Find characteristics that put you at an advantage. Within your uniqueness, find what makes you tick and magnify it.

      Stop hating and start liking. The first person who should like yourself is you. Practice realizing and appreciating your uniqueness. Figure out how to love yourself. Find some me time and be grateful for all that you are. Re-acquaint with yourself.

      Figure out how to relax and take deep breaths to relax the anxiety. Yoga can also be a good therapy and exercise because it helps you relax. If you are relaxed, you are able to lead your attention away from your own self and you begin to take notice and develop your conversational skills.

      Release your anxiety. Do exercise sessions. Rather than being anxious, re-channel your power into something else. Look at things at a complete new perspective. You walk or jog around the neighborhood to release that. Some would suggest doing meditation exercises.

      If anything bad does happen, do not bail out. You just entered a room full of people and you begin to feel the stress so you believe that the next best thing is to just leave. Doing so won't help you at all. Turn the problem into something that you can learn from. Why did you suddenly feel that way? Is there a way that you can change how you feel? Face the situation and learn from it. This is the only way you can escape it.

      There will always be a possibility to be rejected. Accept rejection but don't take it personally. Remember, you do not have the monopoly of feelings. If everyone seems anxious, everyone can be rejected as well. It is how you manage rejections that will define you. It is not your fault that you have been rejected, it was not just meant to be. Just move on and learn from it. There shouldn't be any room for self-pity. Consider rejection as a blessing in disguise and then move forward.

      Practice your social skills. Go out there and mingle.

      How to Increase Your Self-Esteem

      Experts describe self-esteem as the overall perspective of a person on his or her value. It is one’s view of the self and one’s attitude towards it. Do you feel worthy? Do you feel able? Are you proud of yourself? Are you encouraged? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

      If you constantly doubt your self-worth and abilities, if you have no trust in your qualifications and skills and ultimately no pride in yourself, and if you find yourself feeling worthless, then you have issues with self-esteem, and you need to address that before it goes out of hand.

      What does a low self-esteem do?

      1. Poor health as a result of eating disorders, and low energy levels because you are so busy pleasing everybody but yourself.

      2. Missed career opportunities as a result of the echo in your mind that says you cannot do it. Low self-esteem makes you feel inappropriate and unworthy hence hinders you from taking risks and grabbing chances.

      3. Sexual problems are closely related to self-esteem issues because it is all about an individual’s problem with his or her image. Low self-esteem leads to low sex drive and addictions. Individuals seek help for these only to find that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

      4. Low self-esteem affects your emotions because you find yourself unable to put your feelings to the fore. It hinders you from accepting your weaknesses and sharing intimacy on many levels with a partner. You find yourself being either too shy and come across as aloof or too arrogant when all you needed was a shoulder to lean on.

      The first step to building your self-esteem is by challenging his messages of criticism to you. Replace them with opposite and positive messages. An example of a negative inner message is when you are ‘told’ These people will never like me, I am too short and inappropriate, or They think I am spoilt and stuck up. Acknowledge your strengths and say I am the best there can ever be, I am beautiful, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

      Live Consciously

      Do not betray your mind as it is man’s basic survival kit; it tells you what to do. Live in a way that you do not lie to yourself. Clear that mental fog in your head and understand that you are human.

      Understand and put thought in all that you do

      Make informed choices, and avoid impulsiveness. If you do not live mindfully, your brain freezes, it is no longer able to send meaningful messages to you because you keep doing the opposite. For instance, stop lying about things that you may not have or are not able to do. Stop lying to yourself that he or she loves you and that he or she will come around. Mixed signals will kill your mind. You are only making room for mental dysfunction. Do not trick your mind anymore into believing things that are not true and hence living a lie. Accept things the way they are; it is a daily walk.

      Live your life to its potential

      You alone are responsible for your happiness. So they told you that you are not good enough? It has nothing to do with you; they have the problem, not you. No man created another; everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if you take that to be the food upon which your soul feeds, you are going nowhere.

      Do not listen to negativity from people

      You alone can make your life heaven or hell. Isn’t it great that the power to do all these lies in your hands? Wake up and smell the coffee because your time for living for other people is over.

      Gather enough courage and start by asking someone that you trust or are close with
