Book Description
Have a Heart-to-Heart With Your Insecurities and Make Them get Off For Good. For as long as humans have existed, they have been preyed upon by a powerful enemy. One that targets both males and females, old and young. It doesn't care how much money you have, where you live, or how successful you are. It can sicken your mind, make your day a living hell, and hinder your career. And it affects every single person on the planet. Yes, we're talking about self-doubt. It is one of the strongest feelings in the world, one that can take down even the most powerful individuals and can cause mayhem in anyone's life. There are many causes of insecurity, and it doesn't manifest the same in everyone. Some people hide themselves behind baggy clothes because they don't feel pretty enough. Others stay at home and avoid social events, worried that they might say something "stupid" and embarrass themselves. No matter what form your insecurity takes, the result is always the same: you are missing out on life. You could be out there, making friends, finding love, getting promoted, if your self-doubt wasn't holding you back. It's a tough rival to beat. But just like any other predator, self-doubt has a natural enemy, one that conquers it every time: confidence. Yes, confidence is the king of the jungle. Once you arm yourself with it, you're ready for the battle, and insecurities have no chance against this power. But becoming a strong, confident individual is easier said than done. Or is it? In this book, you'll discover: Simple techniques to break free from those hardwired negative thoughts that are poisoning your mind How to stop comparing yourself to others and eliminate destructive pangs of jealousy Why being perfect sucks, and how you can use your imperfections to your advantage Shocking revelations on self-sabotage, and how to recognize when you're doing it (hint: prepare to be surprised) How to use powerful tools such as CBT and self-talk to fight social anxiety, and rejoin the world How you are unconsciously projecting your insecurity to others by acting a certain way Strategies for boosting your defense mechanism and creating a shield of confidence no insecurity can penetrate And much more. A healthy dose of self-doubt has never hurt anyone. In fact, research suggests it can even help you progress and make you a better, more confident individual. But insecurities are subtle. They start slow, like you hiding your tummy on a beach, or avoiding public speaking. If left unchecked, they can grip you extremely fast and leave you vulnerable, self-conscious, and unsure in your own abilities. But if you react in time and employ confidence as your ally, self-doubt doesn't stand a chance.

Insecure in Love

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? No one wants to admit that they possess these qualities; but if you find yourself constantly on the alert, anxious, or worried when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment, a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences. In Insecure in Love, you'll learn how to overcome attachment anxiety using compassionate self-awareness, a technique that can help you recognize your negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns and respond to them in a nurturing way—rather than beating yourself up. You’ll also learn how insecurity can negatively affect healthy dialog between you and your partner (or potential partners) and develop the skills needed to stop you from reverting back to old patterns of neediness and possessiveness. If you suffer from anxious attachment, you probably know that you need to change, and yet you have remained stuck. With compassionate self-awareness, you can successfully explore old anxiety-perpetuating perceptions and habits without being overwhelmed or paralyzed by them. By understanding the psychological factors at the root of your attachment anxiety, you will learn to cultivate secure, healthy relationships to last a lifetime. If you’re ready to stop getting stuck in the same hurtful relationship patterns and finally break the cycle of heartache, this book can show you how to get the love you deserve—and keep it!

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The best-selling author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships explains how to build trust—the essential ingredient in successful relationships—in spite of fear or past betrayals Most relationship problems are essentially trust issues, explains psychotherapist David Richo. Whether it’s fear of commitment, insecurity, jealousy, or a tendency to be controlling, the real obstacle is a fundamental lack of trust—both in ourselves and in our partner. Daring to Trust explores the importance of trust throughout our emotional lives: how it develops in childhood and how it becomes an essential ingredient in healthy adult relationships. It offers key insights and practical exercises for exploring and addressing our trust issues in relationships. Topics include: • How we learn early in life to trust others (or not to trust them) • Why we fear trusting • Developing greater trust in ourselves as the basis for trusting others • How to know if someone is trustworthy • Naïve trust vs. healthy, adult trust • What to do when trust is broken Ultimately, Richo explains, we must develop trust in four directions: toward ourselves, toward others, toward life as it is, and toward a higher power or spiritual path. These four types of trust are not only the basis of healthy relationships, they are also the foundation of emotional well-being and freedom from fear.

Being Aware of Being Aware
Author: Rupert Spira
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 1626259984
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Most people’s lives consist of a flow of thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and so on. Very few people ask, 'What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?' The knowing of our being—or rather, awareness’s knowing of its own being in us—is our primary, fundamental and most intimate experience. It is in this experience that the peace, happiness and love for which all people long reside. The happiness we have sought so long outside of ourselves, in situations, objects and relationships, turns out to be always present and available in the simple knowing of our own being as it truly is. The knowing of our own being shines in each of us as the experience ‘I am’ or ‘I am aware’, or simply the knowledge ‘I’. This obvious, familiar and intimate experience has no objective qualities and is, therefore, overlooked or ignored by the majority of people. This overlooking of our own being is the ultimate cause of unhappiness. What is the nature of the experience of being aware or awareness itself? The exploration of this question is the subject matter of this book and the essence of the Direct Path to peace and happiness. * * * The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions, compiled from contemplations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats. This simple, contemplative approach, which encourages a clear seeing of one’s experience rather than any kind of effort or discipline, leads the reader to an experiential understanding of their own essential being and the peace and fulfillment that are inherent within it. Being Aware of Being Aware is the first and introductory volume in The Essence of Meditation Series.
