Do you remember the time when you and all your friends wanted to become astronauts, scientists, superheroes, etc.? Being a kid, we change our dreams with every movie or cartoon that we watch. We want to be like the person we find attractive. As we grow up, we start beating ourselves down after being exposed to the real world. This beating down of imagination and aspirations starts to take a nose-dive. We start to indulge in the process of negative self-talk. As much as you think or talk negatively to yourself, you will end up in darker places.
For instance, if you are a school going student, you wake up in the morning, 3 days before your exams. You are thinking about how much syllabus you have to cover in these 3 days. Your mind starts running to cover that all your heart rate increases. This is how your belief in yourself comes to an absolute zero. You can not achieve the goals you have in your life without having a belief in yourself. Know that failures are part of the process and not a dead-end. All it takes to be successful is to get back again and again on your feet no matter what.
Examine your present
The first thing to reinstate your belief in you is by accepting your present. If you really want to get back, examine what you are saying? what are you listening to? Whom are you surrounded with?
If you spend your time with negative people, who don’t build them up, it will drain you down. Be with someone who boosts you up, helps you to grow, and motivates you. There is another very important that matters is what you are reading? You should try and read positive stories, biographies of successful people, etc. Positive people or books help you believe in yourself like your mother telling you to believe in yourself.
Be patient
In this modern world of technology, we all are highly addicted to getting things done quickly. We start to expect the fruits right after sowing the seed in the ground. If it takes more time than you expected, instead of losing your self-belief and be frustrated, think of planting a tree. No tree can grow in a single day and start giving you fruits and shadow. It takes time and hard work. You have to water them and clean them every time. You have to work hard and be patient while believing in yourself. It takes time to make a mark and be successful.
Trust yourself
One of the most important things is you, your self-confidence, and your self-belief. As all the strength, power, energy, etc. lies within you, if you do not trust yourself, you will not believe yourself and be confident again. Therefore, you will never achieve anything in life like this. Make it a point not to doubt yourself, especially when the times are tough. Know that it’s your life, and it’s all about the decisions you make.
However, it is not the end of the world if you happen to be on the wrong track, but you must realize and make corrections to be back on track. Stay strong, persevere, and trust yourself enough, especially if you do not have people around who inspire you and motivate you to put on a fight. Learn to make yourself and your interests a priority. Think wisely about yourself, your goals, what you are doing for it, or what you should do to make it all come true.
Remember your past success
More often than not, life will try and push you off the edge. It will put you in a place where you feel low. There are times when you feel lost and unaware of the next step that will take you closer to your goal. This leads you to suffer from self-doubt and depression. Now make sure you can do it again, think about when you were in a great place, remember the days when you were your hero. Boost yourself up with full energy, trust yourself, and try to be as positive as you can.
