Self-Esteem, Confidence and Motivation
Self validation - the ultimate goal to achieve our own personal best
The goal may be maintained in the subconscious mind, but it is nonetheless a final objective for all people, regardless of race, creed, nationality or even physical condition. The ultimate goal for each and everyone is self-validation; achieving what athletes call a "personal best." Regardless of background, education, financial standing or other factors, every individual is subconsciously induced to move onward and upward, to the best possible in relations, beliefs and values!
Progress toward the ultimate goal and necessary intermediate objectives is affected by experiential factors -- the cards dealt out by heredity, opportunity and life in general -- but there are only three factors essential to positive progress: self-esteem, confidence and motivation. During the course of a lifetime, virtually everyone experiences problems involving one or more of these factors.
Self-Esteem
High self-esteem is a basic essential of success. Low self-esteem, however, does not suddenly appear like a symptom of an illness. It develops like a cancer that usually goes unnoticed in its early stages, but spreading slowly throughout the mind until, when finally recognized, it becomes full-blown, demoralizing, destructive and possibly even terminal.
While poor self-esteem can emanate from events that might be considered personal setbacks (in business, relationships, health, etc.), the primary cause is negative programming from the past. It might also be a product of judgmental parents, teachers, authority figures, relatives or friends. Many times derogatory comments, ridicule, relentless criticism and similar factors ignore commendable achievement and simply accentuate the negative.
Frequently these events, hurts or negative valuations are absorbed by and buried in the subconscious memory, with the victim totally unaware of the sources of troubled feelings, fears, self-doubt and damaging attitudes.
Confidence
Low self-esteem actually must be dealt with before progress can be achieved in building self-confidence and creating motivation. It is difficult for a person to show confidence when he/she views him/herself as a loser.
The procedures for developing confidence may vary considerably, depending on the person's self-perception. Any labels such as bad, wrong, stupid, clumsy, dumb, talentless, ignorant, fat, etc. must be disposed of first in order to reveal unrecognized capabilities that lead to an acceptance of valid self-worth.
Motivation
Once the problems of lack of self-esteem and self-confidence are worked out, one may then begin working on motivation programming, which uses mind visualization to create pictures of success, confidence and appropriate abilities.
Enhanced suggestions through hypnosis or Autogenic Training are absorbed and accepted easily by the subconscious mind, leading to attitude modification and a new feeling of self-assurance.
