How Do You Value Your Self-Worth?

Quanta Review - How Do You Value Your Self-Worth?

How do you value your self-worth? This is a very tough question and not so easy to understand, huh? What I mean is do you focus more on what you already have or more on what you don't have? This focus goes a long way in determining how you value your self-worth. You see, the way our mind works is we move toward what we focus on (according to the 8 rules of the subconscious mind). With one of the most important subconscious mind rules being "What's expected tends to be realized". So, I ask again, 'Do you focus on your lack or what you don't have, or more on what you do have'? So, if you focus on your lack what do you think you will create? You guessed it, more lack. What we focus on is what we create. If you focus on what you don't have, you will create more of what you don't have.


The point is, the focus on lack or what you don't have will bring you weakness and insecurity. Focusing on lack will bring you down. OK, so if you don't have what you want currently, how do you obtain millions (if that's your goal). It all starts by valuing where you are and who you are currently.


You value your situation as it exists right now, and who you are as a person right now, and moving toward what you want to have and who you want to become. The #1 secret to creating wealth (if that's your goal) is to value your self. In other words, you value your current situation, staying focused on where you want to go and placing no one above you. In your mind, you stand face to face on an equal level with everyone. You value your own life as it exists currently where you are today because you continually put forth your best. You put forth the very best you know how to do. When you value yourself and always put forth your very best your value to others increases. When your value to others increases a funny thing happens. You guessed it, as your value to others increases your income increases accordingly. When you value yourself, you create a very powerful and effective presence that is attractive to others. When this happens, other people will want to hitch their wagon to yours.



By developing and projecting an attitude of self-worth, the mind immediately eliminates any financial struggles. You see, when you focus on where you want to go, you have to let go of the lack. This is another rule of the subconscious mind which states, "The subconscious mind cannot hold two opposing thoughts at one and the same time". Take a look at all the things that make your insecure. Then simply let go of those things you cannot control, and focus on where you want to go and what you want to have.


When you feel secure and content about where you are and let go of the insecurities, you will see a shift toward what you are focused on. In other words, you will move in the direction of your focus. That is another simple a rule of the subconscious mind (we create more of what we are focused on) and has been practiced for hundreds of years by the super wealthy. In summary, learn to let go of your insecurities or what's holding you back from where you want to go and then focus on where you want to go. Amazing things will begin to happen.

Starting a New Business - Overcoming Negative Self-Talk

Did you ever hear the saying 'there is nothing to fear except fear itself'? Think about that for a minute - it seems to say fear creates itself and really has no basis - there is nothing to actually fear.  





The same thing could be said about thoughts of doubt or skepticism. For whatever reason, there is a lot of low self-esteem going around. It can be the result of having harsh criticism from others, or of never being able to please our 'authority figures'. They mean well, supposedly, and just want you to do your best.  




However it appears your best is never good enough for them because they wrongly think that by telling you to always 'aim higher', or pitting you against someone who is more proficient to compete with them, that this will somehow compel you to be their champion! An "A" is not even good enough - 'see if you can't try harder and get an "A+" next time'; 'See how well Molly does that? Maybe she could give you some pointers'; 'Don't you want to be like Jack? Look at those trophies he has!' 


The problem is two-fold - everybody is different, with different talents and gifts - and we don't all have the same interests. They say you do best what you like to do - so if whatever you are doing is 'not your cup of tea' you will likely not do as well as someone who breathes, eats and sleeps whatever it is. That doesn't mean you are less of a person or in some way inferior at all - it just means you are different.


Whether it is sub-conscious or conscious, you hear all that negative self-talk. 



You just need to 'deprogram' yourself from believing negative things about yourself. 


Make an effort to think of something you do well and that you enjoy, whenever you hear 'you can't do this' or 'you could have done that better', or 'so and so does it better than you do'.... and even if you can't think of something you are proud of and that makes you feel good about yourself, then think about something pleasant that you enjoy - a memorable day you had at the beach - or even the beach itself - what you love about it - the smell, the sound, the colors, the warm sun. 



Just immerse yourself in it and replace the negative thoughts with something that makes you feel happy.


This is particularly relevant to starting a new business because most of the people you know that are not involved, will try to discourage you - again for whatever reason, they will try to make you skeptical - 'are you kidding'? 'That sounds like a rip off'; 'Oh, it sounds like a scam'; 'good luck buddy, I would never buy anything online'; 'I know somebody that lost it all on a game like that'; 'You probably don't have the experience to do that'; 'People are far ahead of you and you will never catch up'.





To reinforce this negativity, you likely will not see any tangible results at first - starting a business is not like starting a new job, where even though you don't know what you are doing or where you are going they still pay you while you are learning. When you are brave enough and creative enough to try to start something of your own, you are not paid and you are spending long hours learning and trying new things; and frankly many of the things you try will not work - at first or even at all. This just means find another way, it doesn't mean 'I told you, you couldn't do this'. 





You have to be able to tell yourself 'it is ok'- 'I will learn', 'I will catch up', 'I will do it right' - and you will have the faith in yourself to keep plugging away until you can see the results of your actions. It may not be today or tomorrow but if you are consistent and really determined, there is nothing that can stop you. Good job!

Personal Growth And Success Tips You Can Use Today


Helping yourself to become more dynamic and successful can be a little intimidating if you have never done it before. It can easily lead to a bad case of information overload because of all of the tools and resources available to you.


Here are some tips to assist you in getting all of this information organized to a point where you can start improving your life now. 

Picking challenging goals is vital to successful personal development. 


Stretching yourself is the only way to expand your limits. An overall goal should be one that is at least a little outside your grasp when you begin the journey towards it. Reaching for more than you think you can achieve will teach you how to do more.  



Your self confidence during personal development periods will benefit from a harmonious relationship to your core self. If you're in tune with your mind, body, and soul, you'll find it easier to defend yourself against challenges to your core beliefs and values. This helps you strengthen the impact of your beliefs, and your confidence in them. 

Going through a strength finder assessment is one of the best ways to get a grasp on how well you understand your strengths and areas of weakness. 



This kind of assessment will provide you with your top five strengths, which you can then incorporate into your daily life and apply to both your personal and professional life. 

Personal development is an intimate and challenging process. 



To make the search for self-discovery easier, consider starting a journal detailing your goals. This can help you visualize your progress and determine optimal time lines for personal goals. You can also use this journal to detail obstacles and successes along the way - you may find your work is reaping more than you'd imagine.  



Keeping a journal can be a key routine for personal development and can give you insights into your true thoughts and feelings. If you have ever felt that you don't know what you want out of life, keeping a journal can be the answer to discovering what it is that you really need to be a better you.  



Make small gradual changes in your behavior. Quitting bad habits cold turkey works in some instances but in other situations smaller and more gradual changes more effectively achieve long-lasting change. Walking one block every day is better than running a half mile one time and giving up because it is too hard.  


A great tip for people who suffer from depression is to try and keep up with your social life, even if sometimes, you really don't feel like it. Often times, being around a lot of people will make you feel more comfortable coming out of your shell and engaging with the rest of the world.  



While the path to your personal development goals might be long, it need not be arduous. Keeping your eyes peeled for new personal development ideas is always a good idea. You may run into more handy tips like the ones in this article that can get you to your goals faster - or at least keep the journey to them from getting dull.

How to Use Affirmations to Attract More Abundance to Your Life




According to the Law of Attraction, we attract whatever we think about or give our attention to, regardless of whether the objects of our thoughts are desired or not. In other words, our relationship with the Universe is such that it brings to us the things that match exactly with our thoughts. 

This means, if we give our attention to negative thoughts, then we will bring negativity into our lives, whilst positive thoughts are matched by receiving what we might see as the good things in life. It is the law of attraction that is expressed in the biblical saying whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" Galatians 6:6-8, and various other common statements such as "As you think, so you are" and "What goes round comes round."













Now, the law of attraction works through the subconscious mind. Because our subconscious mind is in tune with the Universe, it is through this that we attract the things that we think about. When a thought goes out from our mind, it passes through the subconscious to the Universe, which in turn responds by sending the originator of the thought the exact equivalent of that thought, somewhat akin to the "action equals reaction" law of physics, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.



It follows therefore that in order to use the law of attraction to change our life, we have to find a way to influence the subconscious mind to put out to the universe more of the thoughts that will result in the things we want in life - and the most effect way of exercising influence over the subconscious mind is through the use of the technique of visualisation. There are in fact five components of visualisation that form a complete practice, one of which involves the use of affirmations.

 







The Role of Affirmations 










As already alluded to above, the object of visualisation is to exercise influence over the subconscious mind in such a way as to cause it to give out the thoughts that will make the Universe respond by giving us the things we want. Visualisation therefore works by continually driving the right thoughts into our subconscious in order that that these may take priority over others when the mind does its job of processing the vast store information it receives on a daily basis. Affirmations are a great tool in this regard because they enable you to express your goals in the right language and help to keep your mind focused on the things you want rather than the lack of them. 










However, it is important that your affirmations are worded in such a way as to make them believable. They must be believable because if you do not believe them then they will be ineffective. 







In addition, affirmations should be worded in the present tense, not future tense. If the benefits you are seeking are seen as coming in some obscure future timeframe, you will not feel the emotional element in your affirmations, and this emotional element is very important because emotion is the language of the subconscious mind. 



One good way to meet both of these requirements is to write your affirmations in such a way that they focus on the process rather than the end result. Instead of saying, "I have a lot of money," you could say, "My financial situation is getting better by the day." The latter is easier to believe than the former, especially if you do not yet have a lot of money. 








 


Examples of Affirmations










The key to devising affirmations to increase your abundance is to:





1) focus on changing unsatisfactory circumstances and 


2) affirm the perceived better circumstances. This involves making a list of the things you want to change in your life right now. 





Regardless of whether it is to do with your financial situation, relationships, health, even your career, you should write a statement for each scenario and affirm that it is getting better. 




The following is an example of the types affirmations you should use:

-
 




I effortlessly attract abundance wherever I go. 



 - Every day my financial situation is improving. 

 - I trust in my ability to bring forth better circumstances.

 - My inner guidance leads me to lucrative opportunities. 

 - I have what it takes to create an amazing life. 

 - I am eager to take advantage of the many opportunities that come my way. 

 - I am grateful for the limitless abundance I have right in my life right now.









Once you have articulated you affirmations in the manner described, the biggest challenge is to then remember to say the affirmations daily. It often helps to write your affirmations on little cards or pads and post them where you will see them frequently. 


Place them on your desk at work, in your car, and in other places where you will see them frequently. With enough repetition, it becomes easier to keep up with your affirmations and your abundance consciousness will grow to become a part of you.
