Self Help: How to Conquer Fear (part 3)


Defeat Helplessness Using Self-Help

Creating confidence when you have learned helplessness means developing optimism with respect to your goal.

Optimism is the art of finding hope. Top performers are very skilled at finding hope in bleak circumstances. You find hope by finding legitimate reasons to convince yourself that whatever problem you are facing is temporary. 

A Simple Example

Let's imagine you make a mistake and lose an important client. If you use optimism, you'll find a genuine reason why the negative event is temporary. You might say, "I'm going to discover why he left and fix the problem so I don't lose any more clients."

Optimism is not positive thinking. Positive thinking is trying to find a benefit in the setback. If you use positive thinking, you'll try to find an advantage in the situation. You might say, "I'm glad he left because I didn't have time to deal with my full client load anyway." 

Positive thinking is an excellent self-help strategy for improving your mood. The problem with it is that a) sometimes you're faced with a negative situation that really does not have any advantages and b) it does not give you hope that the obstacle you are facing is surmountable. 

I'll talk to you again soon.

Your friend,

p.s. If you want the most direct path to success immediately using profoudn self-help methods, I recommend my 4 week private, intensive online course, "Catapult Yourself to Success Using Mental Toughness." Only 30 people will be allowed to join this select group.

As far as I'm concerned, this course is the very best way for you to realize your aspirations now. It is the culmination of several years of my personal research, trial and error, and refining success strategies.

I've taken knowledge from various fields...from research in sport psychology to the science of achievement...and combined it with my real-world experience working with top performers in business, sports, and the performing arts.

In this time, I've learned exactly what works and what does not work to maximize personal achievement. One of the most common things I hear about this program is, 'This training has completely changed my future!'

This course is the best of the best, and it comes with my 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not thrilled with it, just ask for a refund. No hassles.
