1.CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS WISELY
You have the power to give your mind the right directions to do the right thing.
Think of what are you going to do, think of what is better for you, and decide.
You don't have to be fast while you are deciding, because that will make you
pick the bad choice. Take your time, and don't be afraid of taking so long.
2. REMEMBER THAT YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY
To break the barrier of self-doubt that can contribute to your feelings of insecurity,
I recommend placing yourself in a vulnerable position. It can sound scary, but that
is where growth can come from. Breaking out of your “shell” requires letting go of past hurts
(real or imagined, self-inflicted or inflicted by others) and moving on with your life.
3. CULTIVATE THE HABIT OF EXCELLENCE
Another way to overcome your insecurity is by examining the habits and patterns that shape
your day-to-day. Keep in mind, habits aren’t your destiny. “Unless you deliberately fight a
habit — unless you find new routines — the pattern will unfold automatically.”
Understanding how your habits work and breaking them into its components can help you
fiddle with them to eventually change them.
4. PRACTICE ASSERTIVE BEHAVIOR AND GAIN COURAGE
As with anything, practice makes perfect. Messina recommends that practicing assertive
behavior in your life can help you earn respect and the acknowledgment of your rights.
“Arouse the courage to take small steps in learning to experience success and overcoming
your lack of belief in yourself. Once you experience success, you can build upon on it to
gain the courage to act out of a strong conviction in your self-goodness and self-worth.”
Take a look at the vicious cycles in your life, and focus on transforming them into virtuous
cycles. If you open yourself up to the possibility of success and accomplishment, if you
visualize or make a prophecy of winning at life, your energy is focused in the direction of
overcoming your insecurity.
5. Talk to yourself in terms of Selfe-Steem and Self-Worth
Keep in mind the importance of being constant, it is the cumulative force of your daily
actions that shapes your character. alk to yourself constantly in terms of self-esteem and
self-worth, and eventually you can reprogram your thoughts and brain patterns to leave
your insecure self behind.
