365 Steps to Self-confidence: A Complete Programme for Personal Transformation - in Just a Few Minutes a Day

365 STEPS TO SELF-CONFIDENCE

Sit or lie comfortably, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Imagine

yourself lying on a beautiful beach on a lovely summer’s day. Picture the

scene if you can. Imagine the sound of the sea, the warmth of the sun

on your face, the softness of the sand, the smell of seaweed, and the

feeling that you are safe and secure.

Practise, but don’t force this exercise. The point is to use those senses

with which you are most comfortable.

Whilst you are imagining relaxing on the beach, think of something

you would like to achieve. Imagine or ‘visualise’ yourself as:

1. A confident person. Sense what it would feel like to be loaded with
   confidence.


2. Taking action. Feel yourself confidently pursuing your goal.


3. Having achieved everything for which you set out.

75

When you’ve mastered the above procedure, add a fourth stage:

4. ‘Visualise’ how you would like others to react towards you when
   you’ve accomplished your goal.

76

Use this affirmation:

‘Every day I seemyself as a confident person and I feelmyself

becoming more and more confident.’
