In step 2 Hill says to devote 30 minutes a day to thinking of the person you intend to become. That makes sense.
In step 3 of the self-confidence formula, it says to devote 10 minutes a day to demanding of yourself the development of self-confidence.
Does Hill tell how to do this third step? If so, how? Or what are some ways that you find are effective for developing self-confidence?
Developing self-confidence -- I think that comes in doing. As in wherever your interest lies, doing something related to that interest.
Example: It's not a perfect example in that this isn't one of my passions. Or maybe it is...you can decide. In either case, this principle still applies. I have recently (within the last month or so) taken on a volunteer position with the girls basketball program at our school. That position is as director of their basketball tournament (in mid-Feb). Coming in "green" and not knowing exactly what was involved - to say I was not over confident in my abilities is a fair statement. And I was feeling that way as we came into early January. Things needed to start happening. And I was feeling a lack of self-confidence as I thought about this all that had to happen. And then, I planned a meeting, held the meeting, made lots of phone calls, and worked through issues that have come up. And in all this "doing" - I've become much more confident in myself and making this happen.
The passion is not in volunteering to run basketball tournaments. Yet, maybe the passion is deeper - if I really look at it - I would say my passion for this is in a passion for staying involved in my children's activities. As a by-product of that, by being involved in this tournament - I am more involved in my daughter's life - in this case through basketball.
Anyway - in the end - in "doing" something, or "acting" upon something related to those things I have an interest in - I'm able to increase my self-confidence...
