Have you ever wondered where self doubt comes from? Well it arises when one chooses to turn against their own inner wisdom and truth out of a need to please others, to feel wanted, feel loved, be validated, feel included, be respected, feel accepted, to be taken care of by important others, to avoid being rejected, avoid taking full responsibility for one’s self and one’s life and so on.
So, as ever with these articles that I write to inspire, the message is most definitely aimed at me, as well as you – this message of self-confidence.
A negative experience is anything that goes against what is good and right for you. In other words it negates you, your inner truth and your life. Another way of saying this is that it literally beats you and your self confidence out of your mind/body. When this happens one becomes and feels exiled from their life.
The first step to achieve total self confidence is to control our individual reaction. In doing so, we need to be aware of how our body function. Take for example our breathing. If you are aware of it, you can control intervals. There are also some phenomenons among the yogis who can control their blood pressures or heart beating. The reason of this is due to the interconnectedness of our neural signals. As our body is connected to brain by chain of nerves, a tendency to control certain automatic physiological functions like heart beat and blood flow can be possible.
All of the above are the result of emotional baggage that conditions and programs you to give away your power to others and to stop trusting yourself. This comes about when one has experienced and has stored within negative memories of abuse, neglect, humiliation, rejection, abandonment, failure and so on.
