What you are about to read would definitely seem deceptively simple. In fact, most people overlook this factor in their pursuit towards success.
Many of you may have set all the goals that you want and still not get any results. You may have read all the books and attended all the seminars, but you still yet to experience a breakthrough. In this article I will share with you one factor that can skyrocket you to success. On the other hand this factor, if not addressed would impede your success by that much. The factor that is common in all successful people is confidence.
The first way to activate confidence is through affirmations.
Affirmations are a scientifically proven method of rewiring your brain to believe that you can achieve success. This may seem like a rehash of the personal development books, but what I like to address here is the frequent use of affirmations.
Affirmations, when used at the correct time, can definitely enhance your performance. The best time to use affirmations is in the morning within the hour of your waking up or in the evening within the hour of your going to sleep. In these two time windows your brain is in the very receptive alpha mode. That is why affirmations should be used at these two times.
The next thing to address is your physiology.
In Neuro Linguistics Programming, physiology directly affects performance. Let’s say you’re going to make a cold call to a prospect. If you sit slouching, or clasping the phone between your ear and neck, you are not able to be in the physiology of total confidence. As a result, your voice would sound shaky. And even your prospect on the other line could sense that you are not confident.
Your affirmations help rewire your brain to believe and your physiology help you activate that peak performance state. The combination of these two is lethal.
Finally watch your language pattern.
If you have a tendency of always using disempowering language, then everything you have done would have gone to waste. The language you use in your head would ultimately determine what kind of results you get.
Your brain believes everything you tell it, even when you say it in the negative. For example, if you say that, “I am not going to be a loser anymore!”
Guess what, your brain will register “going to be a loser”!
These words make up the sentences of your affirmation. It is very important at this point that you choose the right sentences. The right sentences should make you feel that you have a chance to live the dream.
A combination of these factors would ultimately cause a rise in your level of confidence. With a heightened confidence, your sense of achievement would definitely overpower your fear of rejection. And that is the key to success. Unless you overcome your fear, you would not experience the breakthrough you envision for yourself.
Imagine what you could do with that impenetrable confidence. How many more sales would you be able to close? How would you approach potential mentors? And how quickly could you turn your ideas into fortune? Begin today to apply these three keys to fire your confidence. You may be amazed at how your life unfolds before you.
