Conditioning and Self-Confidence

Conditioning and Self-Confidence

Did you know where our self-confidence comes from?  It’s from our being conditioned and programmed.

The bulk of our conditioning comes mainly from birth through the age of seven.  It continues into adulthood but the most influential conditioning happens from those precious early years of life. It happens through the modeling of our parents and other authority figures, through trauma and through impactful life experiences.  It also happens from our repeating certain words, phrases and/or feelings over and over again, during our whole lifetime.

It’s fascinating to me that science proves the physiology that’s associated with our conditioning, which leads to our beliefs.  For example, Dr. Joe Dispeza, in his first book How to Evolve your Brain, the Science of Changing Your Mind, explains that through repeatedly hearing or seeing something, our brain’s neurons become stimulated and come together to form neuro pathways.   These in turn become triggered later in life when we experience a similar incident to the early conditioning.  For example, a person repeatedly hearing from her parents that she’s no good may very well grow up believing this (false) belief about herself.

Another example of conditioning is, let’s say a person had parents who fought all the time.  To that person, a “normal” relationship represents fighting.  Or how about what I heard from my dad about money: “Money is scarce”.  I grew up believing just that.  For many years, I had very little money as a result of this conditioning.  How many of you grew up hearing about money, and how has that influenced you today?

Because early conditioning leads our beliefs, we grow up experiencing the results of these beliefs. These results may or may not be what we find helpful in our lives.  It may have led to low self-esteem and confidence. The good news is we can improve our confidence by changing the beliefs through conditioning!  We CAN re-program ourselves by using various tools and processes!

Reflections on Gratitude

Two summers ago, I had the great blessing to visit for three weeks my family who live in Germany.  I have sixteen relatives there, more than here in America.  My mom was born in Germany but came here to America in her late twenties and spent the rest of her life here in the Denver, Colorado area (she’s been gone now for eight years…..).

You know the feeling when you haven’t seen someone for a long time, and when you do, it feels like no time has passed since the last time you saw them?  Well, that’s how it felt for me seeing all my relatives.  A happy reunion with them!

I experienced a deep sense of gratitude for being able to visit, for being at my mom’s homeland and to rest and relax.  Also,everything was taken care of for me and I sure felt provided for in many ways!  This gave me the “playground” to experience what it’s like to be provided for and I decided to bring this feeling, as well as being relaxed, into my life here at home to do my best to keep these attributes as part of my daily living.

It’s beneficial for all of us to live life knowing we already are provided with everything we need.  This leads us to be more relaxed and happy.  I know it’s far easier said than done though!  In your daily hectic lives, how do you relax?  How do you remember (or, how do you believe that)  all is provided for you?  You can better experience this type of living by living mindfully, having faith, trusting yourself and Spirit, and being open to receive, along with and a number of other life strategies and tools.  Many of these strategies and tools are easier said than done, but it’s possible!

See below for two tips and tools for how you can live in a more relaxed manner and feel more provided for, which results in being happier.

Empowering Tips and Tools –  promoting relaxation and feeling provided for

 – Reflect on what, in your life, is going right and reflect on how you always have had a roof over your head, enough food to eat and have family and friends.  Sure there may have been some lean times or some times without work, but isn’t it true that you’ve always come out of those times and have always been provided for?

– Sit in meditation for fifteen minutes, setting an intention before you start to focus on deep relaxation.  As you meditate, remember a time when you felt so rested and relaxed; focus on that feeling for a while and just bath in it.  Now choose to take this feeling and give it a name, or associate a picture, scenery or smell to it and now create an anchor.  This anchor allows you to take that relaxed feeling and when you think of the picture, name or smell to it, you invoke or stimulate yourself into feeling that relaxed feeling when you’re in your day to day life.
