How changing habits can build self confidence.

Posted by Carl on Nov 26, 2009 in Good Going |

We live in a fast paced world that is hurtling along at an amazing rate and for many of us our minds are moving at the same pace.Have you ever felt lost or confused even when life is going your way, unable to relex and enjoy your life then fear not – you are not alone. Dwelling on the past is something that affects many people. The reason this becomes a problem for some people is that they are ill equipped to deal with the emotional pressures that the mind can induce.

So how can we change these feelings? How do we get ourselves out of that loop of despair we find ourselves in from time to time. We need to look at our emotions. Emotions start in the mind and the curious thing about emotions is that unlike most thoughts we can actually feel them physically. Anger, happiness, anxiety and confidence all produce real bodily sensations that we can sense. If we get into a habit of noticing when these emotions are going to surface we will be able minimize the impact the emotions have on our well being.

Let us think about this concept of habit a bit more closely. Habit is a form of behaviour that automatically directs your activities without the need for conscious thought. There are minor habits such as nail biting, to the extreme habits that begin to take the form of OCD. But you may be surprised to know that in our day to day lives and the way we act are due to established habits.

These habits are what form our personality, which in essence is what we are. It would be very confusing if we kept changing them all the time. One of the floors of mankind is people thinking that they are unchangeable, thinking ‘I have always been like this I can’t change’, when if they looked deeper they would find the really course for change. Which means we look to change our circumstances without looking at the true cause of our situation – ourselves! Specifically the way we think.

If we can identify these habits and how they make us behave with the people around us, we will be able to make trivial changes to them. Learning to control the habits that are affecting our mental health and holding us back, will help us develop socially while only making a little difference to our personality.
