How Do You Become Confident?

Ahh, the big question How do you become confident?

This is on the one hand and easy question to answer. And I’ll get into that answer now. After I do so, I’ll explain to you how to be self confident permanently.



How Do You Become Confident FAST?

Becoming confident can be done within a day or two. You ‘simply’ use a strategy from the CBT-world (CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) called progressive desensitization.

This is where you come up with something you want to do that you fear just a little. A minor fear.

If you scale fear from 0 - 10; 0 being no fear, 10 being extremely fearful, you pick something that is about a “2 out of 10 fear”.

Then you use various techniques such as mental rehearsal,
positive affirmations and challenging limiting beliefs prior to taking action on the thing you fear.

Then after that you courageously do the thing you fear and as a result you will gain some confidence from doing that.



Being courageous and doing the thing you fear always results in an increase of confidence.




Then once you have this increase in your confidence, you’ll feel ready to tackle a slightly bigger challenge; something that you fear a bit more.

It’s again something that is a minor fear to you, a “2 out of 10 fear“.

This fear is a 2 out of 10 again, but if you would’ve tried to tackle this challenge prior to the increase in confidence, this fear would probably have been a 4 out of 10 fear.

But because you now have increased your confidence the fear appears to be less.

Confidence cancels out fear.

And so you do this new thing you fear and you, again, get some extra confidence. Which you will then use to again tackle a slightly bigger challenge. And so forth.

So how do you become confident FAST? Progressive desensitization!


But... There’s a but to this...

Staying confident is another story. I’ve done progressive desensitization. Multiple times. And it has worked for me. But it didn’t last...

Now I’m not saying that it won’t last for you, but when you suffer from low self esteem the confidence won’t stick. You need to improve your self esteem and build up your self confidence both.

I’ve for example forced myself to initiate conversation with 20 people/groups of people.

First I’d start saying looking people in the eyes. Then I’d say hello. Then hello and asking directions. Then hello and introducing myself. Then hello and initiating conversation.

Every step was very challenging. But at the end of the day I felt amazing. King of the world!

But that feeling lasted for about 2,3 days and I was back to where I was before; socially anxious...

So how DO you become confident? How do you become confident permanently?

TESTIMONIALS:

While working through the program my trigger situations were getting less and less and my confidence to speak out was rising and now when I think about certain situations that would normally make me anxious I can't make myself feel anxious. An amazing life changing feeling, I feel like a different person. Thanks,

-Joanne

Now I feel more confident that I can hold a job, and I actually find time to enjoy catching up with old friends and see how they're doing. I'm much more comfortable at stores and crowded places now, and I don't have much anticipatory anxiety as I used to. I also enjoy going to church now and spending time with my family.

TESTIMONIALS:

My social anxiety is no longer controlling my life, and I am so grateful for that! Thanks, Sebastiaan!

- Trevor Dowdle

I have found myself caring less about what people think about me.. I just feel POSITIVE. I feel so energized and excited about life! EFT is really weird looking and I felt a little silly doing it at first but soon got over that. I feel better about myself and I feel more confident.

-A.T. from the UK

As I write this it seems ridiculous that these ludicrous thoughts of the past frightened me so much. I am a whole different person to what I was when I first started, I am more powerful and in control.

- Michael K. Sydney, Australia

I made out with a girl for the first time at a fraternity party on campus. I just walked up to her, with uber confidence, and started dancing with her, and we just made out :-D I never kissed a girl before, so it was like "woah" lol kinda thing. Thank you dude,
