4 Easy Steps To Self-Esteem and success - Part 4
How self hypnosis can give your self-esteem an boost and help you gain success.

I named an earlier article of mine `Success & Self-esteem Go Hand in Hand Together’ because I truly believe that you cannot have an abundance of one without an abundance of the other. Sure you can have a little of one without the other, but who on earth wants that?

So if you need to raise your self-esteem and success rate score cards read on. Of course if you have already read and completed Steps 1, 2 and 3 you are almost there already - congratulations.

Step 4 Start To Do The Things You Don’t Like Doing.

Most of us dislike change in one form or another, it means we have to try something new, something different, something we feel uncomfortable about.

Well this step is all about stepping out of your comfort zone and doing the things you either don’t like doing or you are uncomfortable about doing.

You feel uneasy about doing things differently because you are unsure of the outcome, you think the worse will happen if you do something new or different. But of course when you finally get around to doing it nothing changes or at least you think nothing changes but it does.

The thing that changes when you step out of that darned comfort zone that you’ve been hiding in is that your self-esteem soars, you get that feel good factor flowing through you, you feel a success.

So the challenge to you here is to step out of that comfort zone as often as you can.

I made a conscious decision to get up at least an hour earlier than I used to, I did it in stages a quarter of an hour earlier each week for a month and as if that wasn’t uncomfortable enough I set myself a task to do as soon as I got up each morning that I didn’t like doing.

Before long this became a routine that I now feel comfortable with and a lot of the little jobs I was always putting off previously are now getting done. Things like ironing my shirts for work, cleaning the bathroom, going for a run (I still have a few problems with that one), sorting out my paperwork, you name it they all get done.

Even better than these jobs getting done is that I don’t have to worry about them anymore, I feel great, I have the rest of the day to do the things I really enjoy. Yes you got it right on the button - My Self-esteem has reached new heights and I intend it to stay there.

You can do exactly the same as I have done, in fact once you start to think about it you will find so many ways of stepping out of your comfort zone you won’t be able to stop yourself from feeling great all day.

Well that was Step 4, the final step and by now your Self-esteem will be sky high, you will be tasting success and loving it. You can even take down your Self-esteem Success Poster that you made in Step 1 if you want, or why not keep it there as a reminder of how great a person you really are.
