Confidence - a Psychotherapist Explains

It is our nature to be confident.

Regardless of whether we realize it or not, each one of us entered this life with an abundance of confidence.

In fact, we were born to be confident. Inside each one of us there is an authentic self and this self is confident by nature.

But when we try to be something that we don't truly feel we are then we are usually in for a difficult time.

This is why the old 'fake it to make it' philosophy is so limited in its effect on confidence. When we fake it, we fail to really be it.

So often lack of confidence is driven by dwelling too much on ourselves and the impression we are making on others.

But when we are really and authentically ourself - not what we have been taught we are or are not - then we are free to respond to life and everything in it in a spontaneous manner.

And when this happens, we easily become enthusiastic about that which truly interests us and this enthusiasm is like a fire that feeds our own inner confidence.

This is because when we are really enthusiastic about what we do, we develop a passion for it and in so doing we easily find ourselves adjusting our focus away from ourselves.

And in this mode, with this attitude, we can become confidence itself.

Enthusiasm and passion fire us and fill us with our own authentic state of confidence, our own natural state of being.

So, how do we move from a state of un-confidence back to our natural state of confidence?

Simply by allowing ourselves to become enthusiastic about what we are doing. Because enthusiasm leads on to passion and when this happens, there is little space for us to question and doubt ourselves - we just focus on doing it.

There are so very many books that focus on confidence building techniques, and many of these are helpful in their own way. Yet something more than techniques are needed if we are truly to restore a meaningful self-confidence.

What's needed is real passion and enthusiasm for what we do.

If you have been having trouble accessing your own inner confidence, perhaps you would benefit from working with someone who can help guide you back to your natural state.

It is here that transformational hypnotherapy, in the hands of a fully qualified and experienced practitioner can be powerfully effective.

Inside you is all the self-confidence you need to shine. It really is just a question of uncovering the enthusiasm and the passion that allows us to do so.

With the right kind of hypnotherapy, you can again find the enthusiasm and the passion that fires you to be your natural confident self.
