I have found meditation and deep breathing very helpful as a daily practice.
I have also found the Leftkoe Method that Steve reccomends really good. I have alot of anxiety that im working through. It focuses on removing limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves like
- I'm not good enough
- I'm not important
- Mistakes and Failure are bad
I usen't to be able to cope with any form of critiscism without gettting devastated, upset and crying. I bought and completed Morty Leftkoe's Natural Confidence DVD and I have found I am far less sensitive. People can make catty remarks or guenine critisism and I just let it wash over me. I take whats relavant and ignore the rest. A far cry from the girl who practically hyperventilated before appraisals.
Also socially I feel so much more relaxed and more confident in myself. Its a great feeling..
