Hi Reader - we're now halfway through the Self Confidence Course. You're showing you're serious about developing self confidence. In the long run, this sort of perseverance and courage to try something new is what truly builds solid confidence.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Now on with the course and Tutorial 4. Last week, you started to lay down a pattern within your mind for the way you want things to be. This week we're going to take things a step further. Firstly, read over what you have written in your course notes so far, just to get you in the swing of things. Do this now before reading further, paying particular attention to your answers to the questions in Tutorial 1.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise
----------------------------------------------------------------

Now you have read over your notes, get yourself comfortable and ready to do this week's exercise.

Imagine you have been granted 3 wishes. One of your wishes is to have the self confidence you want. You go to bed tonight and during the night miraculously your wish is granted. When you wake up in the morning, you have all the confidence you need. What is life like?

Close your eyes and really begin to explore this fantasy. Imagine going to bed, doing your nighttime routine, switching off the lights, getting comfortable in bed and that lovely feeling as you begin to drift off.

This is a fantastic way to use your imagination. (After all, you probably use it to scare yourself enough - imagining things going wrong, why not use it to help yourself for a change?)

In your fantasy, answer the following questions:

1. How do you feel when you get up in the morning?
2. What do you look like in those situations that used to be a problem?
3. How do you sound?
4. What is your facial expression like?
5. What do others notice about you that is different?
6. How do you think about those things that used to be a problem?
7. What do you do during your day that you didn't before?
8. Work at doing this exercise. The more detail you include the better.

This could be the most important 15 minutes you have ever spent.

Afterwards, write in your notes the things you noticed about the newly confident you. This will be very useful for future exercises. Also, as I've already said, you MUST know where you're going if you're going to get there. This exercise provides the target for your conscious and unconscious mind to move towards.

Make the effort to do this exercise now - you'll be glad you did!

Trainer Tip - Experience Your 'Miracle'

The above exercise is best done when relaxed for 2 main reasons:

1. Your imagination works better when you are relaxed (after all, think about dreaming - the most incredible imaginative process you can create!)
2. When you are relaxed, you break out of habitual patterns of anxiety or under-confidence. This makes it much easier to see yourself performing well.

Therefore, the best time to do the above exercise is after one of the hypnotic deep relaxation sessions on the CDs - Track 11, CD1, Track 1, CD2, or Track 4, CD2.

Confidence Tip: Things You Can't Do!
----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a really common habit I've noticed people get into if they're feeling a bit down. You think of something other people can do and then feel bad because you can't do it too. Have you ever noticed yourself doing that?

Of course it's natural to want to be able to compare favourably with others, but consider this:

*There will ALWAYS be more things you can't do than things you can do*

The World is huge, and possibilities are endless!

So, by the law of averages, you are always more likely to be able to think of something you can't so than something you can.

So don't let your mind play tricks on you! If you find yourself doing this, deliberately change the contents of your thoughts to things you *have* learnt to do in the past.

This way, you will end up feeling more capable, better about yourself, and you're more likely to start tackling some of those things you'd like to be able to do!

Trainer Tip - More On Thinking Confidently

If you find that you frequently think in ways similar to the above, use Track 7 on CD1 'How to Think Confidently' and Track 9 'How confident people view the World - the keystone of confident thinking'.

"It made a world of difference."

Roger, your course was very helpful to me. I ordered the CDs when I started the course.

I am trying to pass my state's court reporting exam. I have taken several tests and have always gotten extremely nervous and panicked. I received your CD a few weeks before the last exam. It made a world of difference.

This is the first test that I have taken that I was in control of my emotions. I know it had to be because of your course because that is the only thing I did differently.

Even if I didn't pass this exam, I now know how to relax so I know I will pass the next one.

Thanks for a great program.

Tamara,
