On my post improving self confidence I mentioned I had recently joined and started contribtuing to the “Personal Development for smart people” forum, part of Steve Palina‘s site. Steve has probably the most popular personal development website around – although ironically the most recent post when I found it was about living in Las Vegas! However, there is plenty of good, relevant stuff on his blog and some stimulating posts on the forum. But, returning to the forum, in my opinion there is also an awful lot of nonsense. [Read more…]
improve self confidence
This is going to be a fairly rambling post! Recently I joined a self development forum, partly to promote this site, but also to try and interact with others either with problems or solutions. The problem when you start blogging is you don’t get much feedback as to whether or not anyone is out there!
What I’m getting around to saying, is on a recent response to a question on self confidence, my reply was:- [Read more…]
Body language
Some posts, such as the recent “Can you improve confidence with a smile” have touched on the importance of what we communicate with our body. I have read that 65% of the signals we send one another in conversation are visual rather than audible.

Can you improve self confidence with a smile?
Everytime I see this photograph it makes me smile, which is why I’ve included it today. Reading my free book “How to improve self confidence“, one quote I liked was
Have you ever tried to smile and think of a negative thought? Usually the result is that one of the feelings will win out.
Try it and see! Basically humans cannot hold attention on more than one thought at a time – if you sit in front of a TV reading a newspaper, your attention flicks between the two, it doesn’t attend to both at the same time.
Positive thinking is cental to developing self confidence, and we will return repeatedly to ways of driving out negative thoughts. But smiling is simple, free, and something we all can do. Is your natural expression a smile or a frown? Observe other people – which ones look confident and at ease with the world?
If you go around with a frown you may find your too serious to let others near you! So smile – even if there is no reason to smile.
Free self improvement products
“How to access 77+ high quality self-improvement products for free”
update – this site has now gone….
Well I was skeptical myself when I came across this site. But it was a link from an ezine that I trust, so I registered, and (having waded through a few sales pages!) found the free products.
These vary from “Get everything you want in your life – guaranteed” and “The self improvement handbook” to “How to improve self confidence” and an “Exclusive interview on self esteem”. There is also an MP3 audio “Ultimate confidence with self hypnosis” [Read more…]
