COURSE OVERVIEW:
Self-confidence is defined as a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities, and judgment. Research suggests that it is important to your health and psychological well-being.
Confidence can refer to a general sense of belief and trust in your own ability to control your life, or it might be more situation-specific. For example, you might have high self-confidence in an area of expertise but feel less confident in other areas.
Having a healthy level of self-confidence can help you become successful in your personal and professional life. It can play a role in your motivation to pursue your goals and affect how you present yourself to other people. Research has found, for example, that people who are more confident tend to be more academically successful.
Self-confident people seem at ease with themselves and their work. They invite trust and inspire confidence in others. These are all attractive characteristics to have. But it's not always easy to be confident in yourself, particularly if you're naturally self-critical or if other people put you down.
Personal motivation derives from people's attitudes about themselves, their world and their role in it. Personal motivation is motivation through and by positive attitudes. Personally motivated people are driven by powerful dreams and aspirations and their unwavering beliefs in their abilities and worthiness. Like all people, personally motivated individuals are driven to satisfy basic physical and psychological needs, but unlike most people, those who are personally motivated also develop a powerful drive for self-actualisation, the highest and most fulfilling level of needs.
This is because personally motivated people are acutely aware of the great number of opportunities for self-fulfilment that exist in the world and are driven to maximise their potential, not simply for personal reward, but because they feel it is part of their life's purpose. Unlike external motivation which is usually short-lived and often used in a manipulative fashion by others, personal motivation is much more enduring, and because it comes from and individual’s core beliefs, it is much more closely aligned with that person’s own needs priorities. Because personal motivation comes from within, it is sometimes referred to as self-motivation.
Successful, personally motivated individuals discard any wrong or counterproductive attitudes that they may have developed through prior negative conditioning and deliberately replace them with “right habits” of thought to empower themselves to demonstrate the “right behaviours” to help them to identify and acquire what they want out of life.
Personally motivated people cast off self-limiting behaviours that stifle achievement and through affirmations and positive conditioning, consciously cultivate success-oriented mental models regarding family, friends and work and most important, regarding themselves and life in general.
