Can you imagine being confident all the time, all day every day? Imagine that every decision you make is in total confidence. Is it safe to say that in that frame of mind you would be much more successful at anything you did? Yes, of course.

Any person who is at the top in their field will tell you that confidence is the most important key to success. Must have one to have the other. This applies to anyone who wants to be top in his or her field. To be the best you must have confidence.
Every top model in the world has it and so can you. Now would you like to learn how simple it is to have all of this? Lets find out...

First lets start with some examples of what confidence is and is not. We will start with what confidence is not:

Confidence is not:

• Running away from what your mind tells you won't work
   
• Being concerned with others opinions of you
   
• Listening to the words "You can’t" or "I can't"
   
• Waiting for someone else to try something before you do

Confidence is:

• Going right through what ever your mind tells you won't work
   
• Doing what you believe in no matter what anyone says
   
• Hearing the words "you can't" and feeling sorry for whoever said them
   
• Being willing to try something new even though everyone else says it won't work or it is stupid

In order to gain more confidence you must first realize that it is not something outside your self, but it has been inside you, waiting to be developed, since you were born. It is a skill that can easily be developed, by anyone, and with little effort, just
focus. There are two methods for developing confidence which I have found are extremely effective. The first method is PRACTICE and the second is AFFIRMATIONS.

PRACTICE:
If you want to improve at any skill, what do you have to do? PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Whether you are learning how to walk down a runway or learning a new sport. It is essential to practice. And what does practice do? Practice creates habits. So what happens if you practice being confident? It becomes a habit!

How to practice confidence

To practice confidence is simple. All you do is: whenever you have a spare moment when no one is around, just be confident. Stand or sit up strait, walk around your room confidently or say something confident to yourself. Make yourself feel extremely confident. As if you’re a king or a great ruler. It is best to do this alone at first. If you are by yourself, how is it possible for anything to intimidate you? Once you are comfortable by yourself then begin to practice it all the time and eventually you will forget that you are practicing and you will have actually become confident! It will be a habit and will be natural for you in any situation. Every moment of your life you will be confident because it has became an ingrained habit!

AFFIRMATIONS:
Affirmations are basically any statement you want your subconscious mind to believe. Repeat, what you want to achieve, to yourself, until you actually believe it or come very close too. The most effective way to use affirmations is to simply repeat a supportive statement to yourself loud enough that you can hear it. The most important part is that when you say your affirmation, you say it like you mean it.

How to use affirmations effectively

STEP 1: You must write down your supportive statement. An example would be, "I am the most powerful woman in the universe". I don't actually believe that 100% but I do believe it about 10% and 10% of the universe still leaves me feeling pretty confident. If you find that starting a little smaller like saying, "I am extremely confident”, then you can keep on working your way up. Also avoid affirmations that have time limits such as, "I am confident today" because you are telling your subconscious that you are only confident today and not tomorrow or the next day.

STEP 2: Now that you have your statement, simply repeat it to yourself aloud as many times as possible. Do an affirmation for at least 1 minute at a time as many times a day as I possible. It is very effective to repeat it to yourself until you fall asleep. And if you find that you don’t like saying these affirmations aloud, then write them down 50-100 times in a row. Once you finally get to the point that your statement has come true, just make a new statement. It can take anywhere from one week to a few months until your statement comes true. Keep on doing it because every time you say your affirmation it becomes closer to becoming reality. Keep this in mind It doesn't matter if anyone else believes your statement to be true. Your success is not dependent on what other people think. It is only dependent on you. There is not one person that will believe you are the most powerful woman in the universe. Do you think you should care? NO!!!

Points to remember:

Confidence is quite possibly the most important aspect of becoming a successful model. So, to summarize you must PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and continually have affirmations in order to bring your confidence levels through the roof. Now that you have confidence by your side nothing can stand in your way!“ In order to gain more confidence you must first realize that it is not something outside yourself, but it has been inside you waiting to be developed since you were born” This statement is key, as it is so true. Once you look at confidence as something inside you it will change everything.

The highest levels of confidence possible are already inside us. We just need to believe it and release it. As you are getting more confident you are really just releasing more and more of your own confidence. Do the exercises and change your view of what confidence is and you will begin to change your entire life. You we be a completely different person. Unshakable! “Confidence is being willing to try something new even though every one else says it won’t work or its stupid”. A lot of you are going to be telling people that you want to be a model. Sorry to say, but a lot of you are going to laughed at! People will say it won’t work and its to hard. Blah, blah, blah! These people are called dream crushers. Don’t worry, don’t let it get to you. Always remember that these people will never do what they really dream of doing because they are too afraid of failure. When your face is in every magazine they pick up then you will see who’s laughing. Take their criticisms and turn it into your fuel and motivation.

“Affirmations are basically any statement you want your sub-conscious to believe” Please don’t think that this is crazy talk. Its not! Your sub conscious is what determines how far you will make it in anything. If deep down you don’t believe that you can be a model… then you can’t! Don’t worry though; you can reprogram your subconscious quite easily. All it takes is a little time. If you aren’t confident it’s because your sub-conscious says you aren’t. If you want to change that you must do affirmations.

So please do all the exercises described on this page. Find which method works best for you and stick with it until you are as confident as possible.
