BELIEF

Belief is one of the most powerful predictors of purposeful change and success. The more a person believes in themselves, the more likely they are to realize their full potential.

Research reveals that people who truly believe they will be successful are more likely to:

*Perform better in many domains (from academics to sports to keeping new years resolutions)
*Be happy, even while coping with ailments such as depression, anxiety, burnout, alcoholism, smoking and obesity.
*Set and achieve more goals
*Attribute failures to changeable causes (i.e. poor planning in lieu of poor genetics)
*React better to difficult circumstances from bad test scores to career setbacks, stressful jobs, paralyzing accidents, and even chronic illnesses
*Use more effective coping habits such as humor, regular exercise, and preventative care.

How good are you at believing in yourself?

Do you trust that you will do what you have set out to do?

Trust and belief are closely related. A degree of trust is needed before you will believe someone. Perhaps after a small series of “trust tests” you will come to believe in someone, holding what they say as valid and true.

Belief exercise:

Set a modest goal such as attending a new group exercise class or holding yourself accountable to 4 hours of exercise in a given week. Work to attain a series of small goals and reward behavioral results accordingly. After some time has passed, gradually increase the size and scope of your goals.


Trust yourself, believe in yourself, and reward yourself for improved behaviors before improved aesthetics.
