Begin by sitting or standing in a relaxed yet present stance.
Bring all of your awareness into this very moment.
Focus solely on your physical form.
Breathe slowly and deeply,
Conscious of how it feels to fill your lungs fully with each inhale.
As you exhale,
Mentally affirm your confidence and self-respect by silently repeating your personal mantra.
I am focused,
Ambitious and disciplined.
My masculine spirit is powerful and unwavering.
Now visualize how you would carry yourself.
Standing up straight and radiant with quiet confidence.
Feel not only mentally clear and focused but physically energized and stimulated as a seasoned professional.
Remind yourself of the value of keeping your body strong and vital.
Reaffirm your dedication to personal excellence and to being uncompromising in holding yourself to the highest standards.
What positive personal traits or skills are most important to you?
How would confidently living in alignment with your core values feel?
If your friend or romantic partner complimented you admiringly as the man while looking directly at you,
How would their authentic praise appear to you?
Do you feel compelled to nod assertively or smile encouragingly in response to their heartfelt flattery?
Simply breathe through any passing fears or self-doubts that arise.
Remaining solidly in touch with your tenacious inner strength for a few moments longer.
Let your self-talk become energized and enthusiastic,
Validating both your present and your potential.
If there are still mental barriers lingering or negative inner voices that persist,
Do not be discouraged.
Speak a clear rebuttal to those sabotaging inner thoughts with empowering counter statements,
Using affirmations that support your self-confidence,
Reinforcing the truth of who you strive to be.
The more that any critical inner voices will lose their unhelpful influence over your core confidence,
With your concentrated mind and passionate self-talk eliminating those limiting beliefs.
As effectively as subduing chronic self-doubts,
Take a final few breaths while reciting or renewing your powerful affirmations centred on who you ultimately intend to become as an enabled,
Self-assured man.
And if some disturbing feelings remain,
Simply ignore them.
As any remaining anxieties or doubts tend to diminish further when defiantly confronted and abandoned repeatedly,
Because it is the affirmations and declarations themselves which ultimately vanquish those negative patterns and restore your confidence.
Both for you and I,
Honestly don't have to rehash the past,
But instead just accept it,
Address it head on and then actively replace the limiting narratives.
Using proactive affirmations,
You can take this approach to any other challenging circumstances by converting your mental habits to more enabled versions,
Asserting your most adaptive mindset.
Whenever you encounter resistance in your thoughts,
Immediately refocus using definitive declarations,
Reinforcing the beliefs,
Attitudes and attributes that you aspire to uphold as a confident man.
And if practised,
Then nothing can prevent your words and affirmations from defining who you choose to be.
Because it is the recitation of those positive declarations that will then manifest as an unshakable part of your identity.
So go ahead and start practising using this very moment,
By focusing not merely on visualising particular scenarios,
But by intentionally scripting and verbally rehearsing those executable statements out loud in the present context.
You achieve a visceral connection that is actively shaping your behaviours and mindsets.
That is where the real strength of perseverance stems from,
And where any difficulties or doubt begin to dissipate as you reinforce those most adaptive narratives.
