365 STEPS TO SELF-CONFIDENCE
For one hour act as if you are one of your role models, and put what
you’ve learned about them into practice. If you have access to video
recording equipment, record and observe yourself and learn from it.
Gradually extend one hour to two, three... then an entire day. If it
feels uncomfortable (and it probably will), remember that all change
feels uncomfortable at first. Many confident people, including possibly
your role models, had to work at it.89When you first apply the ‘As If ’ Principle uncomfortable feelings will
surface – you won’t be able to prevent them. But don’t let this stop
you. Go ahead and do it anyway. In time you will no longer be affected
by them.90Choose something you really enjoy or know you have a talent for, and
become an expert in it. The confidence gained will radiate from you
and do wonders for you in other areas too. Confidence thrives on itself.
Nothing succeeds like success!91
