You know what we never say as kids? - "I'll believe that when I see it!"

When does that change?

When we're little we believe in all sorts of things we never see, Monsters under the bed, Unicorns...

Santa's flying sleigh.

Then at some point, we start needing proof.

But what if we have it the wrong way around?

There's one area where we most certainly do.

-When it comes to oursleves.

When it comes to achieving something new, we want, but we've never done before. Like build a new business, earning a certain amount a month, or getting 5000 people on our customer email list...

When it comes to ourselves, Believing Is Seeing.

You won't see it happen until you believe it can happen.

But we can't just suddenly believe something...can we?

Not always, But here are 3 ways to start instilling that belief if you don't have it.

1. Sometimes we need a different perspective - we don't often see ourselves clearly.

So have someone to remind you of all the amazingly brilliant things you've done up to now. And all the potential that they see in you.

2. Just a small tweak to your focus can make a big difference.

Have the big plans, the big "crazy" dream, keep that in the peripheral. But bring your focus to something closer to believable. Just on the line.

Then stretch it, just a little. Now aim for that.

3. We believe in ourselves when we can trust ourselves.

We trust ourselves when we follow through on what we tell ourselves we will do.

This is so easily overlooked, we often make "promises" to ourselves almost as throwaway comments "oh, Ill do it tomorrow". But actually, this slowly erodes our trust in ourselves.

There are some easy strategies to fix this though, I will cover those in the next blog.

Stay tuned!
