365 STEPS TO SELF-CONFIDENCE

Master the reframing technique. Reframing is a way of changing how

you feel about past events that still trouble you:

1. Relax your body. Still your thoughts.


2. Go back to an event which left its mark on you and get in touch
   with all the emotions you felt at the time.


3. Now reframe it. Run the scene through in your mind, but visualise a
   different outcome. ‘See’ it happening as you would have liked, really
   ‘feel’ it. With practice your mind will accept this as reality.


4. Over time you can work through as many ‘difficult’ memories as you
   wish. Start with the least troublesome then, as you become more
   proficient at using the technique, tackle more serious issues.

The reframing technique sends a powerful message to your

subconscious to record over old tapes with new, more positive,

confidence building interpretations of events.

I am becoming more and more confident every day.’
