Confidence Speaks!

We've looked at some of the probable causes of your insecurity. We've also looked at how Satan benefits from it. Now we need to take some steps towards change. This is step one of the "action" portion of our little seminar.

Ready?

Good.


In 2004 the Cancer Recovery Foundation of America did research into the power of positive thinking and made the following statement:

"Psychosomatic illnesses can worsen when given special attention. Instead of paying direct attention to pain or illness, every time a negative thought occurs, say something like, "It will be better than I think." When a wish of any desired condition is established in the mind, somehow the unconscious mind leads the wish to realization-not magically, but through mental programming."

Thousands of people across America have made similar claims in response to the "miraculous" healing of their disease. I believe this to be true. I also believe that if positive thinking can heal people of their physical ailments, it can work the same way for emotional ones.

Having a lack of confidence is like emotional cancer. It eats away at your potential until there is nothing left but the skeleton of what you could be. Now girls, if we look at two very important verses you will see that the Bible backs up these claims.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21)

"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit." (Proverbs 15:4)

Helloooooo, God is telling us that our words have power.
So, constantly rehearsing all of your "shortcomings" in your mind forces you to believe them. You are programming yourself to fail in life. Pretty damn sad isn't it?

You can speak confidence into your being. This means that when a thought like: "I'm not as pretty as her" pops into your head, you immediately take a baseball bat to it, and hit it out of the mental field.DO NOT ENTERTAIN INSECURE THOUGHTS. Thinking dour thoughts about yourself is so much a part of your everyday, that they pop up automatically. AND when they do, you have to learn to immediately chase them away. Think of it as if your having a beach picnic. Sea Gulls are going to swoop in from every direction, screaming while trying to steal your lunch. You'll have to wave your arms,yell, get aggressive in order to chase them away. And if you've ever had a sub at the beach, you'll know that they are persistent little buggers. Get aggressive with your thoughts. Be disciplined and smack at them like the mosquitoes they are.

Replace them. If your insecurity tells you that Barbara Big Boobs has a much better body than you, you politely remind your insecurity that if Barbara's body and your intelligence went to war, you'd lay her out in five seconds flat. Or you can simply rely on the fact that you are more creative, or that you're busy working out to attain a Barbie physique, or that her mousy hair will never shine like yours. Find a couple things that you really like about yourself and focus on them. If you can't think of any, e-mail me and I'll let you know what they are.
None of us can have it all. Either your scales are heavy on the beauty or they are tipping deep on talent or intelligence. The good news is: you can make yourself prettier by working out, using make-up and dressing appropriately for your body type: you can make yourself more knowledgeable by LEARNING (reading): and you can find your hidden talents by exploring (EVERYONE HAS TALENTS). But you ain't gonna get anywhere by speaking insecurities into existence. Practice makes perfect my little darlings. If you are half as consistent in reminding yourself about your strengths as you were in telling yourself how much you sucked-you will be on a healthy start to healing that gashing wound we call self dissatisfaction.

Viva Positive thoughts!
