The best question to ask to boost your confidence

BENEFIT #1: Encouragement & Positive Affirmation

The first positive effect is that you are affirming that things are working for you.  

This is SO powerful in terms of mindset and future results – and enjoying the journey.

BENEFIT #2: Brain-training for Success

You are training the Reticular Activating System in your brain (like a brain filter) to be a Success-Seeking Mechanism. You are reprogramming your mind to always be on the lookout for evidence of success.

This is a brain-training exercise that can boost your self-image, your confidence and ultimately your results from all your endeavours.

Do you remember I mentioned becoming magnetic to success?

This is how we do it. 🙂

BENEFIT #3: Clarity for Priorities

When you acknowledge that a certain habit or activity or belief is working for you, it becomes part of your Success Magnet toolkit and you value it more.

You make more time for it.

You feel less guilty for spending time or money or energy or attention on it.

For example, I KNOW that being in beautiful luxury spaces does something to my soul.

It uplifts me.

It moves me in positive ways.

I used to feel guilty about loving this kind of luxury, but now I see it as a connection to a form of excellence and beauty (divine qualities) and that for some reason – a reason I choose to believe makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things – this experience works,  for me.

And so, I not only feel less guilty about my love of luxurious surroundings (reducing negativity that blocks success and creativity), but I now value it more.

I make time for it. I prioritise it.

I recognise the beneficial effects it has on me.

And this also helps me to amp up the benefits – because I know it’s a double whammy of goodness: delight in the moment, and positive ripple effects on my energy, self-esteem and spirit.

Knowing that this works (for me) helps me enjoy and include more of it in my life.

This adds to the quality of my life (spending more time doing what I love) and serves me on many, many levels.

This is the power of knowing what works for you – what uplifts your spirit and increases your confidence and sense of self.

BENEFIT #4: Self-trust and self-esteem

Another benefit of this question is that it encourages you to trust your own experience and wisdom.

When you train your mind to focus on your way and your successes, you naturally spend less time casting around for advice, validation or direction from others.

This becomes a mental habit that builds confidence and self-esteem.

You trust yourself more and have faith in your judgement and decisions.

Not only is this a powerful attribute in your creative life, it can serve you well in all areas of life.

There is much evidence to suggest that your self-image greatly influences, even creates – your world,

So a stronger sense of self will have ripple effects and benefits way beyond your creativity and work.

So I hope I’ve persuaded you to adopt this mantra!

For bonus points, say it out loud, or even (subject to your surroundings) turn it into an uplifting song or chant.

Jumping, clapping, or happy dancing are optional. 🙂

(But these certainly do integrate it more deeply into your body mind and subconscious!)

Whatever level you feel excited to try – go with that.

But do ask, and keep asking.

What’s working?

What’s working – for me?

And notice what you start to notice… 

HOMEWORK

Choose a place to keep a running list of What Works For Me.

It could be a digital list-making app. (I love Apple’s Notes app.)

Or you could use the back page of your journal or dayplanner.

Whatever works for you!

Just make sure it’s a place you can access often – both for jotting down new ideas as they occur and for reviewing when you need a reminder of your unique combination of winning ways.
