The Joy of Manifesting Life- Confidence Is Key

While going through this process of perfecting my manifesting skills I've had many personal epiphanies, learned to recognize the signs of good and worked on the art of letting go. In the midst of it all I had to strenghen my levels of self-confidence, personally and professionally.

We can always use a tune-up when it comes to growth and progress. I seem to go through this a few times a year and I'm sure most of you do as well. Sometimes we attract situations that test our ability to not react in a negative manner and to believe in ourselves a lot more. I feel like I'm going through this phase again.

I think the best way to measure our confidence levels is to analyze our reactions to the various events that test us, make us feel inadequete or just sad. When someone says something that triggers an emotional reaction, how quick are you to jump to feelings of anger, defeat or placing blame? How long does it usually take for you to get out of that negative mode? Hours, days, weeks or years? Do you hold on to certain events and take out your frustration on other people, past or presently in your life? These are all very good questions I ask myself when I'm in a situation that doesn't make me very happy.

We tend to attract certain people and situations that are in our highest good, whether we like it or not. Information and attitudes showcased in those events can often be a reflection of what needs to be polished inside our minds, bodies and spirits. When it comes to manifesting a more consistent and peaceful existance we need to make sure our confidence levels are balanced in such a way that we're effective in every choice we make. We need to be clear and in order to accomplish this we have to make sure we have faith in ourselves. This is the belief that we are successful and will continue to be in the future.

Faith is a funny thing. We're supposed to base our decisions on the unknown and believe everything will work out in the end, especially when we happen to be in emotional or physical turmoil. After going through a few challenges this past week, I realized that having so much faith in myself will present solutions and can bring any situation from a devastating point to a hopeful future. If I didn't have confidence in these ideas, I highly doubt I could have resolved the issues I was dealing with. The old saying, "you get what you give" proved to be accurate for me.

For the rest of this week, my new focus is maintaining my self-confidence, keeping the faith and following through with the messages I receive from my intuition no matter what. If I know it's the right thing to do then I will not be bothered by other people's negative reactions. That's their problem.
