The Power of Self-Confidence

Imagine a life where you fearlessly pursue your dreams, effortlessly connect with others, and radiate an unwavering belief in your own abilities. This is the realm of self-confidence, the force that propels us forward, even in the face of adversity. Self-confidence is not an abstract concept; it's a state of being, a belief system that influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions. When we possess an unwavering self-assurance, we radiate charisma, resilience, and magnetism, captivating those around us and shaping our reality. Furthermore, it gives us the courage to pursue all the opportunities life provides us with.


Take my client Dunja. Dunja is a highly successful professional in the financial services industry. Yet one area she has always struggled with, is her confidence when it comes to speaking up in gatherings and presenting. When she learned she would have to present on stage in front of a couple hundred people, she experienced the symptoms so many of us are all too familiar with: fear, dread, sleeplessness, raised heart-rate just thinking of the event and a desire to get away from the obligation to present.

When Dunja asked me to work with her I was thrilled to help and in only one session we completely removed her fear of presenting. She gave a flawless presentation filled with wit and charisma to an excited crowd when the time came. Read how Dunja experienced the session below.



Understanding the Confidence Conundrum

However, despite its undeniable importance, too many of us find themselves plagued by self-doubt, paralyzed by the fear of failure, and trapped in the vicious cycle of negative self-talk. The roots of this confidence conundrum can be traced back to a multitude of factors, including past experiences, societal conditioning, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. It's a universal struggle that knows no boundaries, affecting people from all walks of life.


I too struggled with this for the majority of my life. At some point I found a way to portrait myself as confident to the outside world, despite that remaining at odds with my internal dialogue. I would like to share the first steps I took with you, to create the illusion of confidence today.


Five Tips to Propel Your Confidence

For the majority of my life, I myself struggled with confidence issues. While I managed to portrait myself as confident to the majority of people, it was not in line with my internal dialogue. I would like to share five tips that helped me to gradually build my confidence:

  1. Embrace Your Uniqueness: Recognize that you are an exceptional individual with a distinct set of talents, experiences, and qualities. Celebrate your uniqueness and embrace your imperfections, for it is in our quirks that true beauty lies.

  2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Adopt the mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. Shift your focus from fixed limitations to the boundless potential that lies within you, and watch your confidence soar.

  3. Rewire Your Self-Talk: Challenge the negative inner voice that undermines your self-belief. Replace self-criticism with self-compassion and affirmations that reinforce your strengths and capabilities. Remember, the language we use shapes our reality. Start to register your self-talk consciously. Catch yourself saying “I’m not worthy of this. / People like us never have money. / This is just the way it’s always going to be. / My back is killing me. / My house is always a mess. / I can’t do that.”, etc. Say instead: "I deserve this. / People change their destiny all the time. / This too shall pass and wonderful blessings are on their way to me. / My back is healing and getting stronger every day. / I am excellent at organising. / I am learning how to do this.", etc.

  4. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone: True confidence is nurtured through experience. Push beyond the boundaries of familiarity, face your fears, and embrace the discomfort of growth. Every step forward, no matter how small, fuels your confidence. We all hate what is unfamiliar and like what is familiar. That is why change is so difficult to achieve, because our mind and bodies are working against our intention to change. But you can take small steps to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, by doing something that is uncomfortable, unpleasant, and unfamiliar. This teaches your mind that change is not deadly and that you enjoy change. Start small, such as attending an event alone or sitting down in a restaurant by yourself. You can start as small as you wish to: talk to a stranger, book that group fitness class you have always wanted to try, put on that outfit in the back of your closet. Acknowledge any discomfort that may arise and be proud of yourself for pushing ahead.

  5. Cultivate a Supportive Tribe: Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you. Seek out mentors, friends, or coaches who believe in your potential and encourage your growth. Remember, your environment shapes your mindset and you are most influenced by the three people who you spend most time with. What is their motivation and how do they see the world? Does this align with who you are?


RTT: A Gateway to Unleashing Your Confidence

As we journey through life, we always accumulate subconscious beliefs and thought patterns that hinder our self-confidence. This is where Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) emerges as a catalyst for profound change. Developed by Marisa Peer, RTT combines the power of hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to reprogram your mind at a subconscious level.


Through RTT, you embark on a transformative voyage, unravelling the deep-seated beliefs that have held you back and replacing them with empowering thoughts and emotions. RTT helps you confront and heal the root causes of your lack of confidence, enabling you to build a solid foundation of self-confidence. It rewires your neural pathways, aligning your conscious and subconscious mind to propel you towards lasting transformation. It gives you the tools to tap into the chatter of your subconscious mind and eliminate those thoughts and beliefs that do not serve you or align with your vision of yourself.


Client Testimonial: Dunja conquering her fear of public speaking

"When Alexandra told me about the Redefind Mind Method and RTT, I was open to it, but I was subject to a healthy skepticism.

My task to her was to take away my presentation fear to speak in front of a large audience - a real challenge!

The first session was already truly profound. One is totally conscious while "being relaxed" and does not do anything that even the pure mind would not approve. This, and Alexandra's professional and calm manner gave me security. I was able to open up completely.

My negativity towards the presentation day decreased steadily. When the day arrived - I was able to deliver like a moderator and was overwhelmed with joy afterwards.

I highly recommend it to everyone and will definitely tackle another issue with Alexandra's support again. Thank you so much!"

In the realm of self-confidence, the journey from self-doubt to self-assuredness is an extraordinary odyssey that demands commitment and a willingness to confront our fears. But it is a beautiful, empowering journey, where you gain a deep understanding of yourself and give yourself the love you deserve.
