Build Confidence that Lasts!
Nancy Mramor, Ph.D.
Do you know how to believe in, love and accept yourself? Without self-love and acceptance you can-
not maintain a long-term vision and learn to walk in your own shoes. Knowing who you are and which
shoes fit the best comes before setting out toward confidence.
First, Set Very simple, achievable goals. Research on self-esteem shows that taking small steps
toward goals is critical for achieving long-term success. You can have a series of these goals, leading
to a big goal, but start with the first one. Acknowledging the completion of each step, increases your
self-esteem.
Understand the difference between inner and outer success. Outer success is often based on accom-
plishments and the attention that you receive regarding them. Yet even major accomplishments may
not be seen by others, leaving you feeling empty. If you give yourself credit for them, accepting the
qualities and strengths within you that led to success, then the benefit becomes long-lasting.
Listen to how you maintain your confidence in yourself with or without success. When things go
wrong or you miss an opportunity, what do you tell yourself that it means? What is the answer to eter-
nal confidence? Being mindful of what you are feeling and thinking by using mindfulness techniques
is the beginning of the journey. Opening your ability to be mindful in daily life changes the way you
view events and brings about a real conscious life that is not measured by false visions of success.
Begin using Mindfulness to lead to inner confidence. The soul of confidence comes from the time you
spend in a meditative state, where you are in touch with your true self. This is where lasting love and
acceptance reside. And it’s a place of self-acceptance that is never dependent on outside circum-
stances.
