Finding Yourself

Many people spend their entire lives searching for a "sense of self." They use it as a reason to go on extended vacations, attend colleges, and take interesting jobs. Though all of these things can be beneficial to leading a full life, the fact is that you do not have to do any of these things in order to "find yourself." Your higher self is always there, but it is not something that you can consciously understand. It is separate from your thoughts (the constant voices playing in your head) as well as your emotions. Your higher self exists on a different plane, and it only can come through when you stop searching for it. All you need to do to find yourself is to realize that you do not understand yourself and never can. You are comprised of a greater energy than words or thoughts or feelings can express, but being yourself is as easy as relaxing and clearing your mind. Allow your higher self to come through by disassociating from your worries and fears. Sit for a few moments and clear your mind while focusing on your breathing. This meditative technique will almost immediately give you a feeling of peace and well being. This is an expression of your higher self.

How to Create Instant Confidence

Confidence is a powerful belief in your own abilities. This state of mind is incredibly important to helping you achieve your goals. Confidence is an important aspect of living an inspired life, and I am going to tell you how you can create confidence at any given time.

All you have to do is close your eyes and visualize an event or situation that you would normally for awkward in. Make sure it is something you would like to be confident in. For example, you see a beautiful girl you would like to talk to (you can substitute virtually any situation.) Now, visualize yourself becoming a giant. Feel immense power flowing through you as you grow forty feet tall. Imagine yourself towering over the world.

Now, imagine giant you tilting back forty degrees. Storm clouds, lightning and thunder surround your head.

Feel this image fall down into your body. Feel bold, powerful, giant and confident. Imagine that you can do anything. When you feel the confidence overwhelm you, place your thumb and index finger together. Now, the next time you are in the awkward situation you visualized, place your thumb and index finger together and you will be reminded of this confidence.

If used properly, you'll be meeting girls easier than Brad Pitt and Will Smith combined.

I did not make up this technique. It is the property (as far as I know) of Tony Robbins, but I don't think he would mind me sharing it with you. It has helped me many times before, and I am sure it will help you too.
