ENHANCING SELF BELIEF

Belief is the key to my work as a coach whether I am working with someone regarding their home life or their business.



The belief to which I refer is not that associated with faith (an area that receives my full respect but is not what I intend to discuss here), but instead is concerned with belief as it applies to facts, to reality & to objective judgment. So let me highlight what it is we need to believe in order to take control of our lives:

BELIEF IN THE POWER OF POSITIVITY…

We can all agree that allowing negative thoughts and actions to preoccupy us contributes nothing towards positive change in our lives. If, on the other hand, we recognise the positivity that already exists for us, there will be a change in our thinking & that can only have a beneficial effect.

BELIEF IN OUR POTENTIAL…

We need to recognise, acknowledge & connect with our strengths - we all have them - the stuff we are good at. At this point, if we can hear a voice saying ‘I’m no good at anything’ then that is a clue that we’re allowing negativity to run the show – & with predictable results. The truth is that by the time we reach maturity we already possess everything we need to achieve our own fulfilment.

BELIEF IN OUR CIRCLE…

Lets make sure that we are surrounded by people who are truly in our corner, and who bring positive energy with them. The power of intention - our will to make things happen - is a matter of fact and it works so much better the more of us there are all wanting the same thing.

BELIEF THAT IT’S OUR DECISION…

Of course, we are not in control of what others think and do but we are totally responsible for our own thoughts and behaviour and, importantly, our reactions to actions and events. It’s our choice to turn off the autopilot & once we take ownership of what happens next it gives us much more clarity as to the choices we have to make.

This all leads to one thing: BELIEF IN OURSELVES….

This is what it all boils down to. We can set our goals and formulate our plans but the engine room is to be found in believing in ourselves. Once we back our abilities, once we create an environment where our strengths can be enhanced by drive and optimism, there’s nothing that can stand in our way.

"If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves".
