Self Belief

Self belief is very similar to self confidence and it moves between two extremes.

"At the low end, where you feel depressed, worthless; everything is difficult or too much trouble; the world looks as if it's closing in on you and is full of people who ignore, abuse or bully you - and you are powerless to do anything about it".

"At the high end, you feel elated; life is full of pleasure and opportunity; people respond positively to you; you have that power to make a difference and you feel really good about yourself"

Generally as we move through life we thrive towards the high end until something happens that completely upsets our equilibrium like we lose our job, fall ill, end a relationship or lose someone close - these things can drag us to the low end and completely deplete our self worth.

Remember when your self belief takes a knock and that inner voice wants you to concentrate on the negative just mentally say thanks but I'm going to look at things in a more positive light. Your brain is so powerful and what you believe, you are able to conceive.
