Self Confidence Through Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

Self confidence is a mental and emotional state that responds to an individual's need for recognition and self-acceptance. It is one of the oldest and most studied concepts in psychology. It is used to describe a good but however adequate perception somebody has of himself or herself and of his or her abilities. Thus, self-confident people generally have a better knowledge of the things they are able to achieve and are more likely to be successful in what they attempt. They will also more easily accept and learn from their failures.

Contrarily, a lack of confidence can prevent you from believing what you do and decide will finally turn out the way you had planned. It can hence impede the development of executive skills, strategic and managerial abilities all of which are essential and mandatory skills in the business world of today. The pre-occupation with other people's opinions of your work might also cause you to become extremely self-critical, which can distract you from tasks you would otherwise be absolutely capable of performing.

Low self confidence will also affect your social life, because individuals with low self confidence are more likely to remain in their "comfort zone" and are scared of rejection. This is called social phobia and is commonly associated with low self confidence, as well as other mental conditions such as depression. People with low self confidence are afraid of the judgment of their peers and will avoid meeting new people, which can consequently lead to isolation and even less self confidence. Low self confidence is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.

On the other hand, because they believe in their abilities, self-confident people are able to do what they feel is appropriate and do not expect the approval of others. They are also able to inspire confidence: your customers, employees, boss, relatives or friends are more likely to trust you or the things you are telling them if you look self-confident.

Many experiences can lead to low self confidence. Recent research indicates that education has an important effect on the development of a child's self confidence. Bodily and psychological abuses in childhood are for instance the most damaging to somebody's self confidence, as well as divorce or family conflicts. Overprotective parents can also contribute to a child's social phobia and hamper the independence that is necessary to develop self confidence. Successes and failures, for instance at school or in one's professional life, also play an important role: failing a class or losing a job are among the various experiences that will have a negative impact your self confidence.

It is nonetheless possible to overcome these bad experiences and develop confidence. The first thing to do in order to build self confidence is to learn to know who you are and what your strengths are. Admitting the fact that you cannot be perfect and cannot be the best in everything you do will help you gain self confidence. Accepting who you are is the key to building self confidence. But in order to improve your self confidence you also have to start taking risks and giving yourself credit for your achievements. This is very simple advice that will help you develop self confidence. You may also find many books that will claim they can help you improve self confidence, but not all of them are reliable.

Many people suffer from low self confidence or are only capable of gaining self confidence in one or a certain number of areas of their lives because they constantly try to get other people's approval and are afraid that they could fail. Many factors, such as childhood traumas, can explain why certain people cannot have the wholesome life of a self confident person. These persons also do not always know how to gain self confidence. However improving self confidence can now easily and effectively be done with NLP and hypnosis.

As we have seen social phobia and low self confidence can be triggered by bad experiences or unconscious fears that are sometimes difficult to overcome with sheer self persuasion. Confidence hypnosis and NLP on the other hand are able to reach the unconscious part of the mind and modify belief systems to boost self confidence. They are effective tools that will help you face your fears and trust yourself to develop self confidence.

Self-Hypnosis for building self confidence has been in use for numerous years and has shown significant results in building self confidence. Once in a hypnotic state, reaching unconscious thoughts is much easier and, thanks to hypnotic suggestion, it is possible to replace your negative thought patterns with positive ones to build self confidence.
