“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” – Norman Vincent Peale

It’s true! We need to believe in ourselves!

Yet, how does one do so when one doesn’t?

I know it didn’t come naturally for me, and it doesn’t when we come from a background of abuse or being criticized. I had to teach myself to see the positive, to see I had skills and abilities!

Teaching ourselves to believe in ourselves and to have faith in our abilities takes time and perseverance, because it isn’t something which feels comfortable or real straight away!

It takes repetition! It means we need to take time to recognize it when we do something well, and to speak to our inner spirits quietly reassuring ourselves!

The loud, brash fist pumping in front of a mirror might get the adrenaline going, but it fades, it doesn’t necessarily seep deep into the soul where it’s needed.

By taking the time to speak gently to ourselves we allow the message to percolate into our spirits where it’s needed. This is a part of self care, self healing and self nourishment which teachers such as Louise Hay speak of which I put into practice in my own life.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Teach yourself these skills, for they’re learnable!
