5 Tips That Will Help You Believe in Yourself

Most people on the planet are divided into two types: people who believe in themselves and those who don’t. The one category of people goes with the flow, while the other one achieves positive results in life.


Here are a few tips that will help you discover your potential and believe in yourself:


With the help of simple logic we can conclude that our faith in our abilities has a great impact on our inferences that affect our choices and decisions. If a person on a subconscious level persuades himself that he cannot solve a problem, he will fail just because he has no faith in his own abilities. Be sure that any problem can be solved, and much depends on your attitude to it. The easier your attitude to life is, the faster you will overcome the difficulties you are facing.


Some people have a habit to compare themselves to those who have tried to do something and failed, thus not giving themselves the opportunity to resolve the problem they are facing. Remember that only you can find out if you can cope with this task or not because you are different from the others. Do not give up too soon! And if you choose to compare yourself with someone else, make sure that the other person’s experience in solving a specific problem is similar or equal to yours.


To rebuild belief in yourself, sometimes it is useful to recall the situation when you achieved tremendous success in a particular field. Successes of the past do not give you a guarantee of success in the future, but they encourage you and give you confidence, which is important for your future achievements.


Respect and self-confidence come when we achieve more than we can. Anyone would be glad if he amazes with his success a professional, not a child. It is important that your belief in yourself is not weakened, so always seek to improve yourself in the field of your work. Solving more complex problems, you believe in your potential and capabilities more and more, thereby getting the recognition of others.


Often on a subconscious level we compare ourselves with the child we were. For example, if in youth you had bad experiences with the other sex, it does not mean that being adult you will have face the same situations. Escalating the situation and persuading yourself that you are not worthy to be happy in the romantic relationship can result in serious emotional problems. Of course in childhood and adolescence, we are very hard to accept our failures, as people in this period have not yet formed as a mature personality.

People Treat You According to What You Think about Yourself

Once Sir Francis Galton, one of the most notable figures in the history of psychology, decided to conduct a kind of experiment. Before his daily walk through the streets of London, he persuaded himself: “I am a disgusting person and everyone in England hates me!” After that, he concentrated on this belief for a few minutes and then went for a walk as he usually did.


However, it just seemed that everything was going as usual. In fact, the following happened: at every step, Francis caught queasy and contemptuous glances of passers on him. Many turned away from him, and a couple of times he heard coarse language in his address. In the port one of the movers, when Galton passed him by, hit the scientist with his elbow so much that he plopped down in the mud.


It seemed that even the animals had this hostile attitude towards him. As the scientist passed by a harnessed horse, it kicked him in the thigh, so that he fell to the ground again. Galton tried to elicit some sympathy from eyewitnesses, but to his surprise, people were on the side of the animal.


Galton hurried home, without waiting until his thought experiment would lead to even more serious consequences.


This true story is described in many psychology textbooks. From it we can draw two important conclusions:


1. People treat you according to what you think about yourself.
2. No need to inform others about your self-esteem and emotional state. Be sure that they feel it anyway.
