Confront your Fear...

Last week I confronted an old enemy we all face...

FEAR

I love adventurous sports and this winter I have been snowboarding six times. It is a bit scary. I can now, after three years, snowboard quite well but realized one thing is stopping me from progressing and that is my fear.

Last time out I fell a couple of times just trying to slow myself down. This week I pushed myself because I thought:

"Do I want to do this or not? Do I want to advance or stay the same level? "

I decided that if I do something I should push myself a bit each time and improve a little each time I go out.

I went for it and as my speed increased I pushed through the barrier of fear just a bit. OK, I took it in steps and didn't go crazy but I pushed myself.

Life is the same. We need to confront fear and push ourselves through more challenging and uncomfortable events. Ask yourself this:

"Am I going to do this with all my effort and push myself to do my best or am I going to half-do this?"

Personally, I think that half doing something is pointless. Either I push myself to do the best I can or I should forget it and not bother.

Remember, the world needs and wants you to do your best so push yourself and succeed!

What Motivates You?

I'd like you to ask yourself this question:

"What motivates you?"

It is difficult to answer such general questions but maybe you can answer that...If you can't, don't worry, try this:

1. Think about all the good things in your life (yes there are good things in everybody's life)
2. Ask yourself "Why is this important to me?"
3. Note down your answer
4. Keep asking why is that important to me?
5. Note down all your answers

The answers you have are the values you have.

Your values are important because they motivate you.

Your aim should be to live your life according to your values. If you are in conflict with these values depression or unhappiness can result.

Know what your values and motivators are and you will be stronger and more likely to achieve your goals.

I wish you happiness!

Your potential for happiness and success in this world is limited only by you. You set the limits. What you can achieve is limited by what you believe is possible.

But there are powerful obstacles which cause you to doubt yourself and which prevent you from having what you want...

Your limiting beliefs.

What limiting beliefs do you have?

Ask yourself what you believe about the following:

1. yourself

2. your relationships with others

3. what is possible for you in this life

By just listing these limiting beliefs and thinking about them you will have taken a giant step towards weakening them.

Next week we'll think about this a bit more, in the meantime I advise you to try one of these life-changing self hypnosis downloads:

Let me help you with your limiting beliefs through online coaching

Are Your Beliefs Stopping You?

One of the most important factors behind your behaviour is the beliefs that you have.

How many limiting beliefs do you have that sabotage your progress and happiness?

Change these beliefs to more helpful ones and you start helping yourself rather than hurting yourself.

Here are three questions to answer and when you do you'll have a list of beliefs that can be positive and negative:

1. What do you believe about yourself?
2. What do you believe is possible for you?
3. What do you believe about other people's relationships with you?

In the next post I'll tell you what to do with the list of beliefs you have discovered.

How to think more positively

I know it's hard sometimes to think positively. I have a tip for
you today, I hope it helps you change the way you think.

I often find that when I have a real challenge in my life or a
major decision that I have to be careful to not let fear in and
stay positive. many ask me "how can I think positively?"

To answer this - start asking yourself the how and stop the why
not inside you.

Let me explain..When you want something or need to do something
challenging start asking yourself "How can I do that? How can I
change that?" rather than focusing on the why nots.

Why nots are the reasons why something is difficult or what you
see as obstacles. Change your focus to possibilities rather than
difficulties. Your whole outlook will change.

Remember in any situation and whatever you face in your life you
are not without hope, you do not start from zero. Before you tell
yourself that it is too difficult, go through the advantages you
have. The truth is that you have a lot, even though you may tell
yourself otherwise.

So my message to you this week is this - to start thinking
positively, start with the positives and then ask yourself how
you can build on them.

I wish you success,

Until next week,
Karl Perera

New Self esteem and Depression Articles from me

As my first post of the New Year thought I'd like to tell you about what I've been up to recently.

First, I have produced a number of new articles and pages about both depression and self esteem and I plan to write even more soon. Here are two new pages I've written on Squidoo:

Building your self esteem  - my lens is about exactly what is says how to build your self esteem and lots more including how to test your level of self esteem and confidence right now

Depression self help guide - again I think pretty self-explanatory. It's about how to help yourself overcome depression with some great ideas.

So if you'd like to improve your self esteem or if you suffer from depression, do yourself a favour and visit the above pages.

I also advise you to check out my articles on ezine articles where I am an expert author: topics include bipolar depression, depression tests and how to build self esteem and much more:

Be nice to YOU...

While I love helping people and am ready to do so whenever someone wants my help, some people make it so difficult!

I get many requests for help with self esteem issues. I really enjoy asking difficult questions that get clients to really think about their "problem" or situation. Many problems are not even problems at all but confusions in the mind. Life coaching I believe is all about assisting and guiding the client to open their eyes and hearts to what is really happening.

When a client suddenly uncovers the reason behind a belief or behaviour their eyes are truly opened.

Yes, helping others is one of the most satisfying things in my life. It surpises me often, though, how much we neglect helping ourselves. It is not selfish to help yourself but caring. You matter as well.

I am sad how often I talk to someone who wants to break free of an old way of living to live a new life filled with happiness yet they do not see how badly they treat themselves.

My message to you today is simple...

Give yourself a break, be nice to YOU for a change.

You matter.
