Q: What can I do to increase my confidence? Is it bad to have low self-esteem as a man ... or do some women find a turn on sensitivity and uncertainty? And what can I do to improve my self-confidence ...
without letting anyone know that I was not all that I seem to be? A: The truth is, we get a lot of questions about self-confidence, self-respect and the absence of overarching sense of power and purpose in the lives of our readers. The good news? Self-confidence is something that can be created and maintained, even if you do not feel like your life is all good now. (Example - even if you do not feel as much reason to be confident, you can trick you brain into believing that you should be, and that is a very empowering life hack for all of us)
There have been many, many studies done over the last few years, especially in men (and women) who are shy, reserved and do not feel all that powerful on the inside.
The secret to overcoming all these very limiting beliefs is actually super easy. Change what you focus on. Believe in something bigger, both in itself ... and your place in the world. And make sense of why you are here, what is your role and what you are meant to be.
Let me give you a quick example studied, which is quite extensive in "alpha male" What social scientists find about men what they want ... And project an image of power and drive and confidence is simple.
They have high testosterone levels. (The hormone that controls the drive and ambition)
And low cortisol levels. (The hormone that regulates stress)
The amazing thing is ...
Both can be controlled by focus and physiology. (What you think about, and how to position your body to reflect on your thoughts.) On the other hand, low confidence men have a common characteristic, too.
For example- If you focus on lack ... or a feeling that something is missing, your mind will know what is wrong in your life, rather than what move properly.
While I'm not a big fan of the inner game style silliness you'll read in many men's health advice blog, we believe that you are wondering more empowering questions, focus on things that you are good and strong and slowly but certain radical "re-invent" themselves in a way that lead to lasting change.
I saw a great TED Talk earlier this week on body language and confidence. One of the things the presenter (a scientist who studied this stuff at a high level) said that increased testosterone actually stood before the mirror and hold your hands above your head (like a field goal) and smiling.
Sounds silly right? It can ... but they have done tests on people who have this kind of thing to do and that scientifically found - their testosterone levels are off by 20% in about 2 minutes ... And their stress levels have gone down by about the same amount, from that one simple action alone.
The truth is, and this is BIG news ... Self-confidence can artificially created and from the air. You can "fake it till you make it ..." and finally have it so good fake, that the incarnation of the trust you WILL crave.
And if you really want to more information, better relationships, more quickly up the corporate ladder totem pole and have a better, longer and more exciting sex ... Confidence is the key. (And you can not be happy in the long term without it ...)...
