Improve your self confidence in 15 minutes

I used to be frighteningly under confident in social situations. And although people who know me now would never believe I used to doubt myself so much I literally had to learn confidence until it became a natural part of me. I can tell you relaxed optimistic confidence is just, well so much more fun.
Here I'll tell you about the things that made the most difference to my confidence levels...
Some people have naturally high levels of confidence but everybody can learn to be more confident
Firstly, it's important to get a clear idea of what self confidence really means, otherwise you won't know when you've got it! So, self-confidence means:
1) Being calm. For every situation in life you need to run on the appropriate level of emotion. Too much emotional 'leakage' into a experience can spoil the experience. You make great strides towards confidence when you begin to relax in a greater range of situations.
2) Being cool. The second part of self confidence is about being able to relax with uncertainty. To be 'cool' in a situation really means relaxing with not knowing how things will pan out. If you truly tolerate uncertainty, you can do pretty much anything.
3) Not being too concerned with what others think of you. You know when you imagine what some place is going to be like before you go there but when you get there it is totally different to your imagination? That's how reliable your imagination is! Stop trusting your imagination so much. I've long since stopped bothering to imagine what others think of me because so often I've turned out to be wrong.
4) Being specific - where do you want confidence? 'Confidence' is meaningless until you tie it to something specific. You are already confident that you can read these words or can switch a light on and off. So you don't need more confidence everywhere. To get what you want in life you have to establish exactly what you do want. Where do you want confidence in your life? Think about the specific situations now and write them down. You beginning to steer your brain towards confidence.

7 Ways to Soothe your Shyness

7 Ways to Soothe your Shyness
Shy people instinctively know that they are missing out. Shyness equals lost opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections. Shyness can be crippling but there are tried and tested ways to make it a thing of the past.
When I was fifteen I was shy. I recall an attractive girl attempting to engage me in conversation. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.
The formula for shyness is "too much focus on the self" plus anxiety. To make it even more unpleasant, sometimes when you are feeling shy you experience physical sensations which 'hijack' your calm logical self.

Letting go Technique

My favourite practice that will help you feel calmer and happier is the ‘Letting Go’ technique.
This is based on mindfulness and whenever you begin to feel stress or anxiety about anything, then immediately respond with this simple and very powerful one minute practice.
1. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
2. Inhale to a count of five, hold to a count of five and exhale to a count of five
3. When you exhale, imagine exhaling your stress or anxious thought. Just feel and visualize it leaving your body.
4. Repeat aloud or silently “Let it go”.
5. Just feel the stress disappear.
Never hold onto negative thoughts. Just let them go. When you take a minute to do this you will be amazed at how calm and relaxed you will feel. If you are a visual person, it may help to picture yourself at your favourite place. It could be a beach, a mountain or your garden.
I know that this practice works really well from extensive studies from meditation, mindfulness and yoga. Whenever you pay attention to your breathing, you begin to feel better. This is the antidote to all that thinking and all that activity that traps us in a ‘doing’ mode. Spend more time just ‘being’. There is nothing more powerful to raise your mood and get you back on track. This is truly a marvelous minute!

The Success Activation Point

Have you ever wondered if the Universe is really out to get you? On a typical bad day, I used to get this recurring thought—when a passing car splashes dirty water on my skirt; when a bumps into me and spills my coffee; when my boss finds a mistake in my report and starts criticizing everything else. You name it, I've probably experienced it.
It just seemed like nothing good was ever going to happen to me. And it wasn't as if I didn't try. I tried going on blind dates, in search of someone who could share my burdens and lighten my load. I tried taking vitamin supplements to wake myself up in the mornings when I drag my feet to another work day. I even tried to bond with my colleagues by inviting them to a party but to unsurprisingly, no one showed up.

How to remember your dreams at night

A great time to program your subconscious mind is just before you go to sleep at night. At this time your brainwaves slow to alpha and theta, and this helps to bypass your conscious mind.
For instance, in my full research I discovered a way that people could find their purpose in life just by programming their subconscious mind just before they went to sleep...
...and even a way for people to program your subconscious mind to remember their dreams and even generate the dreams they wish...

This sounds difficult, doesn't it?
But in reality, it is a lot easier than you might think.
The simple trick is to convince your subconscious mind that it is to perform this task for you.
And how is this achieved? The easiest way is to give your subconscious precise instructions while you are in a "dream state" just before you go to sleep at night.
And the most effective way to do this is to go to bed an hour or so earlier than usual so that you are still fresh enough to effectively do this "programming" without drifting off from over-tiredness.
You simply instruct your subconscious as follows:

12 Chakra Mantras To Unblock Energy

Sound is vibration. What you may not be aware of is that each of your chakras has a specific vibration as well – and you can use mantras that are known to be in vibrational harmony with each chakra, with the purposes of opening and harmonizing the system.
Using chakra mantras during meditation can have a very powerful effect. Imagine a chakra as an instrument, and the mantra as a tuning fork – strike the tuning fork, and the instrument will come into vibrational resonance with it, clearing out any energies that do not share the same resonance.

5 Seed Mantras

Let’s begin with basic mantras called bija mantras, or seed mantras, that havebeen universally used in meditative practice to harmonize one’s energy.
  • OM:  The most well known and universal of the bija mantras it is the sound of creation and causes energy to gather and flow upward and outward. OM is the mantra of acceptance and assent. It helps you to accept your higher self and allow energy to flow openly and freely through you. It also serves as a gathering mantra, gathering your inward energy and preparing your energy for movement.
  • KRIM (pronunciation “kreem”):  Chanting this mantra stimulates your lower chakras to awaken and begin purifying your body.
  • SHRIM (pronunciation “shreem”):  Its associations lie with the head and third eye. It promotes bodily and spiritual health but can also be used to bring beauty and happiness to one’s senses.
  • HRIM (pronunciation “hreem”):  This holds powers of healing and creativity.Chanting this mantra awakens compassion and purifies the heart.
  • HUM (pronunciation “hoom”):  This evokes the breakdown of negative feelings and spreads positivity and vitality through the body.
shutterstock_154360835Read the list and choose the mantra(s) that you intuitively feel you need. Don’t worry about using all of them – you may be very ‘energetically healthy’ in some respects and not so much in others. Just pick the one(s) that resonate with your needs (you can ask yourself, “is this sound beneficial to me?”) and use it to begin your meditation.
This literally ‘sets the tone’ for your meditation; then, you can incorporate the healing energies of the cleansing mantras below. Each of the  cleansing mantras correspond to one of the 7 chakras in your body.

7 Cleansing Mantras

  • LAM: The cleansing mantra chanted for your Root Chakra, which keeps us grounded and linked to the earth. Chanting this mantra will cleanse impurities that can collect in the root chakra – literally opening you up to feelings of security, prosperity and belonging – and clearing any blocked energy that is being prevented from moving through to the other six main energy centers. Chant “LAM” if your energy is low, you struggle financially, you suffer from low self-esteem and you suffer from adrenal fatigue and other stress-related ailments.
  • VAM:  The cleansing mantra for your Sacral Chakra, which is associated with sexuality, pleasure and creativity. Opening this chakra will open you up to others, give you the courage to express yourself and to embrace change. Chant “VAM” is you have poor self-image, find it hard to open up in relationships, feel unsatisfied sexually and suffer from low libido.
  • RAM:  This opens your Solar Plexus Chakra, the seat of your personal power. Chanting “RAM” will increase your ability to stand up for yourself, control negative impulses, and exercise greater self-control. Your self-esteem will increase as you chant “RAM” and you will become more confident and self-assured – and your frequent stomach anxiety and pains will subside!
  • shutterstock_130051625YAM:  The cleansing mantra for your Heart Chakra. You give and receive love through the energy center that is your heart chakra. If you’re not feeling loving, lovable, compassionate or experience relationship difficulties, you could use some YAM! Chant “YAM” to heal both the physical heart and the spiritual (emotional) heart center and open yourself up to unconditional love and compassion.
  • HAM:  The mantra to unblock your Throat Chakra. This is your physical and spiritual voice, your means of communicating who you are and what you need and want from yourself and the universe. The throat chakra governs your ability to express yourself – if it’s closed, you will find yourself frequently frustrated as you cannot voice your needs and desires (closing yourself off to opportunities and having your needs met); and a closed throat chakra makes honesty and integrity difficult traits to embody. The vibrations from “RAM” will open your throat chakra so that your communication energy can flow strongly.
  • AUM (or OM):  This opens your Third Eye Chakra. This is the center of your forehead and is directly in line with the center of your brain. While OM is one of the most common mantras and can be used for a wide variety of mantra meditations, it is particularly important to the cleansing and healing of your third eye chakra.The third eye chakra (or brow chakra) is the seat of intuition and life purpose. Chanting “OM” will break loose the constraints that you have imposed upon yourself by not allowing yourself to listen to your inner wisdom and using that wisdom to chart the best course for a life of purpose and passion.
  • OM or AH: The mantras for your Crown Chakra, the connection to the divine. A closed crown chakra brings about feelings of insignificance and pointlessness, leading to a disconnect from spirit and an overly strong attachment to possessions, relationships and the physical world. Some find that silence is a more effective practice for opening the crown chakra but OM may be used to open it as well. Chanting AH represents a release. Think about taking a deep breath, then letting it go. AH is the sound of releasing and letting go.

Chakra mantras help you to clear your energy pathways so you can thrive, not just survive; this allows you to make the most of your physical life experience, creating positive physical, emotional, mental and spiritual change.
