Self-confidence is a deeply rooted feeling that we are okay, loved, and matter…that what we say, do, and feel…matters.
When we miss this key ingredient, life can become hell. So, let’s turn the hell into heaven right now with these five keys that work to unleash your self-confidence, joy, and creativity. And here’s the good news: your self-confidence is already there, waiting to be freed up and expressed.
1- LAUGH, A LOT, EVERY DAY!
Laughter is the first key because this is the easiest way to get your self-confidence going. You get a powerful kick-start from laughter to get positive energy flowing. Make a deliberate practice of bringing more laughter into your life every day. You might have to “fake it ‘til you make it” initially, but soon laughter flows naturally and spontaneously. Every child is born full of laughter, and that includes you. Laughter benefits your body, mind, heart, and soul. It erases fear (you can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time!), unleashes your innate joy and creativity, and enhances all your relationships, not to mention bringing fun, relaxation, and love into your world.
2- MEDITATE!
Practice the laughter meditation. Stage one: laughter. Stage two: sit in silence. This is the easiest way to get into meditation and combines with the first key! The powerful effect of the laughter in stage one helps you drop deeper down, in the second stage, to discover the inner wisdom, silence, and stillness within you. As a result, love, peace, creativity, joy, self-respect, and self-love arise naturally and spontaneously. Your self-confidence is innate in these qualities. You find the wisdom to know that what you say, do, and feel does matter. You don’t need another person to tell you, you know.
Then, whatever other people’s opinions are, YOU know that you have something special to offer the world, and your presence here is important. We all matter.
3- LOVE YOURSELF!
Loving yourself is much easier once you have started your laughter meditation practice. Love arises naturally from laughter. Laughter IS love, isn’t it? When we laugh, we open our hearts and are in loving communion with others and ourselves. Try it! Notice how you feel; notice how your self-judgment is erased; see how other people’s judgments are dissolved; and notice how your inner joy arises and fills you to overflowing with love, creativity, and a positive outlook. What we focus on expands. Focus on loving yourself no matter what, and your self-confidence will soar. It’s true!!
