This article is about how to gain confidence and how to increase self-esteem. She was a person with very negative thoughts, who would always fail in whatever task she undertook. I have to tell you that I didn't accept myself and seemed to always be depressed. However, I have managed to change my life and I will try to explain in this article how I changed this situation.
I hope these lines can help you and do it with joy.
When I was growing up, from childhood to adulthood, I felt that what was happening to me was bad luck. I had a speech problem (stuttering), plus I always struggled against my weight (that is, being overweight).
I looked at other people in my community, especially my friends, and I was very jealous of them. I often thought and wondered why there were so many issues to solve.
The problems I have had in life, especially the speech impediment, damaged my confidence and I became a lonely person. I felt uncomfortable when I participated in groups of people, I always believed that people laughed behind my back and talked about me.
I had a voice inside me, which was my demons. They constantly talked to me, advised me to avoid certain situations, and so I avoided taking on the tasks that were about me. They made me feel very stupid and worthless. I liked listening to these demons and basically doing or not doing, depending on the case, what they told me. She agreed with them that she was not good enough or able to accept certain tasks.
I often wondered what my life would be like if I didn't have these horrible goblins in my head.
I was not happy with my life, when they ran it or how it had been in the past. I wanted to be successful, safe, and free from these demons.
At the age of twenty-two, he had decided to wage a war against these demons, a battle he was determined to win. I started reading many books on self-esteem, positive thoughts and the mind on the subject. Progress was not exactly fast and it took me many months to move forward.
I had to think more positively, basically, about being more assertive, and that my attention was more free. I found out that in life, everything you do you should try to do your best. Life is very short and can end at any time, therefore, I must make the most of it, live it and I do not say it as advice from a scared person, but because it was what I had been doing. Worrying about the situation makes it more difficult, not easier, so why do I do it?
These tips are easy to say or write, however it is very difficult to apply. I must put them into practice, I thought. During my war, there were many battles with these horrible demons, and some of them I lost. I kept talking to the demons and telling them that they could win a battle, but they were not going to win the war.
I finally did it, I won my war, after a long period of time. Now, I can tell you with great joy that I overcame my speech problem.
The main lesson I have learned is to do the opposite of what the demons told me. They are the devil, and they are inside each person, therefore, we learn that we should not listen to them.
