Building self confidence – reducing our need for approval



John Lennon“Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.” John Lennon

In his article Would you like to stop worrying about what others think?, Morty Lefkoe explains some of the psychodynamics of low self regard, our need for approval, and how his program can eliminate “I’m not good enough” beliefs.

“If we don’t experience being good enough the way we are and we need something outside ourselves to become good enough, how often would we want that outside something to occur? All the time!

“As a result, the need to have others think well of us is experienced like a drug addiction by many people.”

    As women we seem to be always worried about what other think of us. I know for me, that’s all I really worry about… I just finished reading The Power of Women United for the first time, it helped me realize that I could go after my dreams just as these 22 women have, and achieve them. Two of these women are the authors, Tina Dezsi and Lia Bandola.
    Now, I have the tools I need to build confidence in myself. And you can too! If I can do it, anyone can!
