There just aren’t enough hours in the day
to do everything you want.
We find ourselves caught up in a slew of obligations
involving everything from work to taking care of our families.
At last, who has time to better themselves?
Or are there enough hours after all?
If your self-belief is dragging,
the last thing you need is to put yourself
on the back burner. Why?
Because you need self-belief
if you’re going to succeed in your life.
Thankfully, there’s help. Keep reading
to discover five brain hacks guaranteed
to build your belief in yourself,
without taking up a lot of your extra time.
Affirmations
You’ve probably already seen
a lot about positive affirmations,
mostly because they actually work!
By writing out several statements to encourage yourself,
and then making an honest effort
to read them daily (especially out loud) you’ll find after a while,
you start believing them.
How to make them work with minimal effort?
Write them on sticky notes and place them around your house
where you’ll find as you go about your daily life.
Make a point of reading them when you find them.
Work Your Subconscious
The beauty of our brains is that
we don’t always realize how much
is being processed without our awareness.
Put positive reminders around that trigger feeling
of confidence and contentment.
Won an award? Hang it where you can see it.
That letter of commendation? Why not frame it?
Journal
We process things better when we write them down.
Keep a journal and write about the things
you’ve accomplished each day. Add in what inspires you,
and notes toward positive growth.
Re-read previous passages to remind
you of how far you’ve come.
Watch the Talk
If that internal voice is what’s getting you down,
it’s time to tell your inner critic to shut up
and find somewhere else to live.
Put a stop to negative self-talk.
Instead, substitute more positive variations
on what’s being said. Replace lies with truths
about how much you’ve already done,
and how awesome you truly are.
Read, Read, Read
The more you read,
you accumulate knowledge in your mind,
your self-belief will be boosted too.
None of these items has to take long to be effective.
The key is to repeat these steps daily
until they become a habit. Before you know it,
your confidence will rise.
Self-belief is ready to open the door
to a more productive, happy, and successful life.
