Building Self Esteem - How to Overcome an Inferiority Complex

Inferiority complex comes as a result of the thoughts and ideas you've accepted as your own. Whatever your parents, friends, family or society have said is the accepted belief somewhere along the line you've concluded that that's who you are or who you're not, and as a result of comparing yourself to others you've devalued your own worth. How can you change this?

Understand your own self-worth

You've got to stop and take stock of who you are and of your own value. What do you have to contribute to the positive progression of enriching the lives of others around you? A business may take inventory of their stock, making note of what they have and what they need to add to their in-house supply.

You need to take stock of your own strengths; what do you do that's different from others? You've got your own style of doing things, why should you diminish your value because someone does it another way?

Stop buying into other people's belief of you

People's opinion can change at anytime depending on their moods, what kind of day they're having or based on their past experiences which have nothing to do with you. What's more important is that you look into your own beliefs about who you are. It's not the beliefs of others that change you; it's your own beliefs that shape you from the inside into the person you are right now.

You can choose to accept and believe different things about yourself and stop buying into other people's beliefs of you. You create your own life and now that you know that, what would you create? Who would you be? Who are you becoming or choosing to become?

No need to feel inferiority to others if you're not trying to measure up to their standard of living. The problems come in when you're always trying to fit into other people's idea of who you should be and find that you've fallen short each and every time.

Change the old tapes in your head

Are you constantly hearing the, 'You're not good enough, you'll never amount to anything, you're worthless, you'll always be a low-life', when you're trying to move ahead in life? Sounds familiar? It's time to stop the old tapes in your head and add a new recording. Yes, this will take some working on. After all, you've been listening to these negative sounds for a long time.

But if you set your intention to change and create a new life and self-image it will work for you as you give yourself time to change. Create new affirmations and keep repeating them each day as often as necessary to begin the reprogramming process of your subconscious mind.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be and experience a transformed life.

Action Thursday - 4 Action Steps to Change Your Thinking & Overcome Inferiority Complex

You can overcome inferiority complex when you change the way you look at things and allow that change to take root deep within your subconscious.

Practice these 4 action steps to change your thinking.

Action Step #1 - Do a self-analysis

Being aware of the area you feel inferiority positions you to take the next step. A self-analysis uncovers those areas in which you feel inferior, allows you to become more conscious of your own behaviour and those things that trigger your behaviour. 

You ask questions like, "What's making me feel like I'm not good enough? How can I get better at this? Why do I always need someone else's approval of me? Why do I have a negative self-image? Do I like myself? Am I confident in who I am and if not why not?"

Begin to observe yourself and ask questions so you can get clear on what's happening in your mind and what behaviour follows as a result of your thinking.

Action Step #2 - Change how you see yourself

We often use comparison as the measuring stick to determine our worth. If this one does this then I'm not so bad then, or if one is good at that and I'm not, then I'm a failure or I'm not good enough. We form our entire identity based on this comparison measurement and therefore devalue our worth. 

Your external accomplishment or non-accomplishments do not have the final say of who you are and of your worth. Do you judge a baby's worth based on his/her accomplishments? No, but the value of that child is priceless. Are we to say our value diminishes as we grow older? I think not! You are a priceless and irreplaceable being regardless of your age. See yourself as such. 

Action Step #3 - Visualize yourself as the person you chose to be

When you think about you what do you see? What are your eyes filled with - limitations, feeling not good enough, failure? You know the saying, "What you see is what you get." Shift your eyes over to seeing yourself being deserving and good enough as others. See yourself as confident in your own skin. Approve of yourself.

Action Step #4 - Create and use affirmations to reprogram your subconscious thinking patterns

Whatever you've been seeing yourself as, you've been affirming and accepting that as who you are. It's time to recreate and reprogram you. Create affirmations around the person you choose to express. You could say things like, "I'm good enough. I approve of me. I'm getting better each day. 

Affirmations by themselves will not work. You must feel them, own them, accept them and allow the reprogramming process to work within you. 

And now I invite you to claim your FREE instant access to the 'what, why and how to' create your own affirmations, use visualizations and vision boards so you can build your self-confidence and recreate your life. Go to:

Finally, a Spiritual Solution to Overcome Inferiority Complex

For every issue we ever face, there's a spiritual solution for its resolution. Our experiences come about as a result of what's happening internally. How you're thinking and feeling plays a major part in what you're manifesting in your life - the outer experience being the mirrored image of your inner life. 

So let's look at 3 segments to the spiritual solution to Overcome Inferiority Complex.

Segment #1 - Identify the Universal Power Source

There's a universal power that governs all life. Everything we see around us is connected and energized by One Universal Power that comes from the Great Universal Spirit. This power comes from Unconditional Love that grows and nourishes all. 

When you recognize that this power controls all that exists and all that will come into physical existence, then you begin to understand the grand scope of this vast life which cannot be contained, which is limitless and has no boundaries.

Segment #2 - Understand Your Connection to the Power Source

We can stand in awe of this Great Universal Power and the synchronicity of life when we allow the flow of this awesome power to operate in our lives on a conscious level. Understanding your connection to this great power that it is in your inner being and moves in and through you will cause you to think differently about yourself. 

When you meditate on this truth and allow it to sink deep into your subconscious, your perspective of yourself will begin to change. You`ll see yourself as being limitless and not insignificant. A mind filled with these thoughts will not entertain inferiority as a house resident. 

Segment #3 - Redirect Power Source Energy

Understanding who you are and your connection to the All-in-all, you can direct that life energy to work on your behalf in every area of your life. Those feelings of insecurity can now be replaced with feelings of security because you know who walks with you and is in you. 

Those feelings of `not being good enough` can now be replaced by feelings of being a part of something great and truly deserving to be here to fulfill your role on planet earth. Those feelings of not being able to measure up to other people`s standards can now be put aside because you know who you are in the grand scope of this great universal plan. 

Putting these three segments into operation in your life gives you the mental, emotional and then the physical boost to overcome inferiority complex so you can fulfill the life you were meant to on planet earth.

However, you must make the connection in order to benefit from this vast pool of life. When you are conscious about your connection to the Spirit that gives life to all there’s no way that you can feel inferior and not good enough. Because the same life energy that flows through others flows through you as well.

How to connect to the Universal Energy and Wisdom

#1 - Be consciously aware of your connection

Being consciously aware that you are connected to the Universal Energy and Wisdom causes you to think about yourself differently. This awareness causes you to feel empowered from within so you can overcome the 'I'm not good enough' feeling. In this awareness how can you feel small, that you're not good enough?

#2 - Fill your eyes with the strength of the Spirit

When you see yourself drawing strength and wisdom from the Spirit you will continue to move in the direction of being good enough. Whatever you focus on, you will move towards, and as you move towards 'I'm good enough' through the eyes of the Spirit, you'll experience that too.

#3 - Create and use affirmations to transform your mind

All wisdom and knowledge is available to me and I can tap into and draw out whatever I need to enhance my life and live my life to the fullest.

Inferiority Complex - How to Shift Your Thinking to Overcome the 'I'm Not Good Enough' Feeling

Feelings of I'm not good enough' can really put you into a state of depression when you attempt to move forward toward any goal. Like thoughts attract similar thoughts that influence your emotions. As you allow this negative vibration to continue to linger in your mind and body, it can sabotage your progress. 

So let's look at the following steps to shift your thinking to overcome the 'I'm not good enough' feeling.

Step #1 - Identify the area of the 'I'm not good enough' feeling

What area of your life do you find that you're experiencing the 'I'm not good enough' feeling? What area do you feel this the strongest? By identifying this area you can better zoom in to closely examine the reason behind the feeling and find solutions for resolution. 

Step #2 - Make a conscious decision to shift your thinking

Once you've identified this area, make a conscious decision to shift your thinking to 'I'm good enough' just as anyone else. You're not being arrogant here. You're affirming to yourself something that's positive that will influence you in a positive way instead of negative. 

Conscious decision-making also gets your mind in gear to accept the change and more you forward in that direction. Remember, the key for effectiveness is to daily reaffirm your decision until it becomes a habit.

Step #3 - Focus on your potential

If you lived to your full potential, what would that look like? What would 'being good enough' look like to you? Once you can visualize that, see that as being you. Focus on this as your full potential until you become one with it, until you own it. 

Step #4 - Meditate

Meditate on the following statement:

"My current condition does not define my worth. These conditions are subject to change. They're not permanent. "

Think about this statement as often as possible until it sinks into the soil of your subconscious mind to begin the reprogramming process. Remind yourself of it daily. Sometimes we tend to return to the old way of thinking. 

When we look at our current circumstances and see no change depression may set in and the old 'I'm not good enough' feeling returns. Shift your thinking back to 'I'm good enough' and continue to practice over and over. 

Inferiority Complex - How to Overcome the 'I'm Not Good Enough' Feeling

When you’re overcome by the feeling of ‘I’m not good enough’, you find that you’re in a limited vibration which hinders any positive progress in your life. It opens the door for fear to stop you from moving forward into success in any area of your life because you don’t feel like you’re good enough to achieve anything worthwhile.

Whether this feeling stems from childhood experiences through parents, society or peers, you don’t have to succumb to it.

Here are 3 mindsets you can adapt to overcome the feeling of ‘I’m not good enough’.

Mindset #1 – Shift your thinking to ‘I’m good enough’ just as anybody else

Don’t allow the physical condition to define your worth. These conditions are subject to change, they’re not permanent. You can get a tutor or coach to help you in what area you feel lack in or find other information at your disposal to help you. Use visualization to see yourself as being good enough.

Mindset #2 – I’m connected to the Universal Energy and Wisdom

All wisdom and knowledge is available to me and I can tap into and draw out whatever I need to enhance my life and live my life to the fullest.

When you are conscious about your connection to the Spirit that gives life to all there’s no way that you can feel inferior and not good enough. Because the same life energy that flows through others flows through you as well.

Mindset #3 – I can be whoever I choose to be

There’s no limit to who you can be and what you can do. It’s all in the shifting of your thinking to seeing yourself in a different light. If you begin to see yourself with unlimited potential then you will begin to go in that direction. The feeling of succeeding at all you do will become yours and you’ll grow in confidence as you step out of your comfort zone into achieving your goals.

Practicing the above mindsets each day will begin to influence the way you feel about yourself. As your thoughts become more focused on I’m good enough, your subconscious mind will be reprogrammed and produce more positive results in your life.

Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps to Overcome a Negative Self-image Due to Inferiority Complex

Even though you may have a negative self-image at this time of your life, it is not engraved in stone and it can be changed with the right action steps. Here are 3 simplified steps you can take right now to create a positive image and overcome your inferiority complex. 

1) Use your true nature to build your foundation 

Your true nature comes from love. Everything ever created came out of love which gives life and energizes all. So when you consciously turn within toward the sun of your soul, you begin the journey of enlightenment so that the healing rays of love’s power begin to penetrate your inner being and become expressed through your life. 

Action Steps: 

Consciously see yourself in the perfection of love. This is the foundation on which you will recreate and build your positive self-image. Love heals and will begin its healing process within you as you are open to this life-giving energy. 

As you sit quietly and allow yourself to be nurtured by Unconditional Love within you, the light of love will begin to open your eyes to see that all the external things that you hold on to and identify as part of who you are will begin to fall off as the truth of love embraces your inner being. Hold in your mind the truth that you have all you need inside of you, the place where Unconditional Love dwells. You are complete as you are. Herein dwells your strength and your power. 

2) Identify and disown the negative self-image 

You do not have to accept the negative self-image others have put on you. You can choose to change that image of yourself and create a new one. 

Action Steps: 

Identify the area you are experiencing the negative self-image. The reason why you’d want to specifically identify this area is because you may not feel bad about your education level but you may have serious issues about your physical appearance. With pen and paper handy, write down why you feel the way you feel about yourself. You are beginning to uncover the main issue so you can deal with it and then change it into the image that you’d like to project. 

Visualize being separate from this negative image. Instead of seeing the image as part of who you are, see it as being separate and different from you. Now release it, let it go. It is no longer yours. This process you will use as a reminder to yourself that you have disassociated yourself from it and discarded it out of your life. 

3) Choose a new self-image and redesign your life 

Now you can liberate your mind and redesign your life. You don’t have to remain stuck in an image others have placed on you. Keep in mind that it may take some time before others acknowledge that you are different from the image they once concluded of you. But that’s okay. You are not doing this to change anyone’s image of you. You are doing this to change the image of yourself which will empower you from within. 

Action Steps: 

Choose the image that you desire. Accept this new image as your own. Envision yourself living this way. And now choose thoughts and actions that match up with this new image. You can’t be thinking that you’re stupid and expect your negative image to change. You’ve got to see yourself as being wise, filled with wisdom because you are now consciously connected to the Universal Supply of wisdom that’s available to you. Begin to think and act as one who is wise. 

Instead of thinking of yourself as being dumb because you can’t find a job to replace the last one or to get your first job, see this as a time to enhance your skills and that the right position will come available at the right time. Think that the universe has everything lined up for you and will manifest itself at the right time. Remember, you finding a job or finding your life partner are conditional circumstances and does not define your self-worth.

Are you relying on the approval of others in order for you to approve and accept yourself? We all love the approval of others but when we crave this approval over our own and yearn for their acceptance of us over our own acceptance that’s where we run into problems. You’ll find out how you can begin to accept your own approval and acceptance.

Inferiority Complex – Overcome a Negative Self-Image Due to Inferiority Complex - Part 3

Monday and Tuesday we covered Tips #1 - 4. Here's a short recap. 

Tip #1 - Recognize the origin of the negative self-image

Tip #2 - Understand your true nature 

Tip #3 - Disown the negative self-image

Tip #4 - Choose a new self-image

Today we'll dive into the last 3 tips to overcome a negative self-image. 

1) Use affirmations to rebuild your new self-image If you are overweight or dislike a physical part of you, you can shift your thinking to, ‘I’m beautiful. I deserve to be here. I am thankful that I am healthy, I am alive, I can share love and I have a lot to offer others.’ Look for your strengths and do not dwell on any so-called imperfections. 

Affirmations are like seeds sown into the soil of your subconscious mind. Daily repeated nurturing will cause them to take root into your internal programming and begin the transformation process from the inside out. 

2) Change your actions 

When you have a negative self-image, your body language displays what you’re feeling inside, whether it is you respond to others defensively to protect what you’re feeling bad about or you hold your head down when passing others so they don’t see your physical imperfections. 

Observe your own behaviour and as you change your thinking about yourself and disown the opinions of others, your body language will begin to change the message you’re sending off. Instead of holding your head down, repeat your affirmations that you are beautiful. Get out of the old habit and lift your head up high. These small changes will help you to get a better feeling of yourself and build your self-confidence in the process. 

3) Use the Formula for Success 

Perfection comes with daily practice. The Formula for Success – R=IOT – Repetition=Imprint over Time – calls for repeated practice so recreate your self-image. You did not get to where you are overnight. It took time and perhaps years of repeating the negative thinking patterns you have right now. 

So as you reverse the effects and uproot the old habitual programming, you need to consciously see the new image you’d like to adapt to, visualize the action steps you can take right away so you have a target that you’re working towards and implement these new action steps into your life.

Tomorrow, for Action Thursday, you'll get some specific action steps you can take right away to overcome a negative self-image and transform your life. Get ready to take action

It's time to stop living defeated and discover a simple step-by-step process to Overcome Inferiority Complex and finally be free to Build Self-Confidence so you can live the life you deserve!

Inferiority Complex – Overcome a Negative Self-Image Due to Inferiority Complex - Part 2

Yesterday we covered the first 2 tips to overcome a negative self-image due to inferiority complex. 

Recognize the origin of the negative self-image

Understand your true nature 

Today we'll go into 2 more tips that you can use right now to begin to change your self-image so you can rise up into a transformed lifestyle. 

1) Disown the negative self-image

You do not have to accept other people’s opinion of your self-worth. Neither do you have to consult with others to determine how valuable you are. You are the one who determines what you choose to believe about yourself. It’s your life and you must live it in fullness. You can begin to mentally separate yourself from and disown the negative perspectives. Liberate your mind to embrace the truth of who you are and not what others have decided for you.

2) Choose a new self-image

Think about the image that you’d like to possess. You may have seen other people with these same qualities. Take the time to observe them, how they think, how these speak and how they act. Observe their body language. What energy are you getting from them when you’re in their presence? Absorb their personality quality you’d like to image in your own life. 

Now, mentally replace the image of that individual with your own. Instead of seeing the image embodied in the person with the qualities that you admire, see your own image, your own body speaking and acting out your ideal self-image.

In Part 3, we'll cover the last 3 tips. Be sure to look out for tomorrow's post. Go apply what you've learned to your personal situation.

Here’s your chance! To break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life because of inferiority complex. You can begin to build your self-confidence today!

Inferiority Complex – Overcome a Negative Self-Image Due to Inferiority Complex - Part 1

Have you allowed life’s curve balls to paint a negative self-image in your mind? What about other people’s opinions of you – whether they think you’re physically unattractive, unappealing because of lack of education, low-paying job or financial status – do you allow these issues to determine the quality of your self-worth and imprison you with an inferiority complex? 

Use the next 2 tips to help you overcome your negative self-image and inferiority complex. 

1) Recognize the origin of the negative self-image 

Where did it come from? Perhaps you lost your job and find it difficult to find another and based on societal beliefs, you begin to see yourself as a failure. Maybe you were rejected by your partner, whether through a break up or divorce, you identify your self-image as being ‘not good enough’ and therefore now carry around this negative image of who you are. 

Whether it is your physical appearance, educational level, social or financial status, your negative self-image most likely came from the opinions and beliefs of others - parents, peers and/or society’s general belief - which you’ve adopted and accepted as your own. When you recognize the origin of the negative self-image then you can differentiate between what is real or not and what is true or not. 

2) Understand your true nature 

This is the foundation on which you will recreate and build your positive self-image. You were created out of love which gives life. So your essence is of true love and light. You are first a spiritual being created in perfection. As you become consciously aware of your origin, you can shift your perspective from the external to the internal. 

Your job, your physical appearance, financial or social status does not define who you are. They are all external conditions which are subject to change as you begin to shift your perspective and your thinking of how you see and define yourself. These are your life experiences, expression of your own thinking, influenced by others around you. Change your thinking and your experiences change.

Look out tomorrow for 2 more tips to overcome a negative self-image. Remember to apply to your life what you learned today.

Discover a simple step-by-step process to Overcome Inferiority Complex and finally be free to Build Self-confidence so you can live the life you deserve!

Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps to Change your Predominant Thoughts to Overcome Inferiority Complex

Our predominant thoughts draw the conditions and circumstances needed to manifest our desires. The old tapes that we play in our heads day after day become embedded within our subconscious mind and keep growing as we continually feed them with our thoughts and emotions. We need to change these predominant thoughts to overcome our feelings of inferiority complex.

Use the following 3 action steps

1 ) Conscious self-awareness

Being consciously aware of your predominant thoughts and emotions will put you in a better place to be able to change them. You can’t change something that you’re not aware exists. Self-awareness is the first step to changing a habit. Then you can take positive action steps to create the new habit you desire. Take the time to look within to yourself and write down your predominant thoughts and emotions.

2) What do you desire to accomplish?

Whatever it is you discover from your self-awareness assessment that are your predominant thoughts and emotions, whether they are feelings of being not good enough, other people are better than you or that you’ll never amount to anything, it’s time to focus on what you want to change. Do you want to feel like you’re good enough as anybody else? Or do you want to feel that even though others may have accomplished physical merits does not mean that they’re better than you? What’s the mindset you want to create? Write this down as well.

3) Practice the new mindset

Now that you know what you want to accomplish, this is where you begin to focus your attention on every day. Rehearse your new mindset. Spend a few minutes several times a day to think about, visualize and connect emotionally with your new mindset. See yourself being that new person. Whenever the old thoughts and emotions come back, do the mental shift and remind yourself of the new change you want to manifest in your life.

And just like any new skill, it takes time and repetition until we master it. It’s taken you many years of accepting yourself as being not good enough and feeling that other people are better than you. So it will take some time to create the new habit of accepting yourself as being equal to others and deserving of all the good that life has to offer. Be determined but be patient with yourself.

Even if you fall back or face setbacks in your mental progress, keep trying, keep practicing. Eventually, your mind will get used to the new programming and you’ll get better in controlling your thoughts and emotions.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Discover a simple step-by-step process to Overcome Inferiority Complex and finally be free to Build Self-confidence so you can life the life you deserve!

Overcome Inferiority Complex - Understand the Power of your Thoughts to Overcome Inferiority Complex and Increase Self-Confidence

Your thoughts influence your actions which in turn creates your reality. Everything flows from within outward. Therefore in order to change the effects of inferiority complex and increase self confidence in whatever area of your life that’s being affected the place to start is from within.

Every thought has a vibration and each of these vibrations connect with other vibrations putting the creative process into active mode. Through the law of growth, the thought which started out as a small seed begins to grow and over time, as you feed these thoughts, they mature and produce fruit in your life – this fruit becomes your life experiences.

Every time you allow your mind to focus on thoughts of feeling inferior to others whether it’s because of your physical appearance, your status in life, your education, your bank account balance or whatever else may affect you, stop your thoughts and emotions right in their tracks. You’re engaging in the continued creative process and you’ll continue to get the same results all the time. A vicious cycle is being recreated each time you go down this path.

As you understand how powerful your thoughts are you can decide then what you choose to accept as part of your internal programming and what you choose to discard. Those thoughts that you’ve agreed with and accepted as part of your truth continue on to blossom in your life.

The question that you have to answer is, “Do you like the fruit that your life is producing?” If you don’t like the fruit, then you need to go to the root and change your thought seeds. Like any garden, you need to nurture your thought seeds each day with your positive emotions and self talk and keep the weeds of negativity out.

Shift your mind from the weeds of shyness, inferiority and fear to thought seeds of boldness, being as good as anybody else and courage and over time you will increase into your self-confident lifestyle.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – How to Take Control of your Mind to Overcome Inferiority Complex and Build Self-Confidence

Change takes place in your mind and as you learn to take control of your mind will you be able to overcome inferiority complex and begin on the path to build self-confidence. You may have heard it said that your mind is a battle field. But the victory of this battle is also in your mind as well. And once you know how to master your mind, you’ll begin to master your life and your experiences.

Steps to take control of your mind

1) Understand the power of your thoughts

When you understand that your thoughts create your reality, you’ll find that you have a place to begin to take control of your mind by taking responsibility for your thoughts and be able to control them. Your thoughts lead to actions and actions lead to materializing your desire in your outward reality.

2) Change your predominant thoughts

Your predominant thought habits of low self worth, feelings of not good enough and fear can be replaced with thoughts of deserving, being good enough, courage and self-confidence. Defy the false voices in your head by shifting your mind onto the positive you desire to experience. Instead of listening to thoughts and ideas of feeling worthless, good-for-nothing and fear, shift your thoughts onto those of you being courageous in the face of fearful situations and on to thoughts of you being confident when you would normally feel intimidated.

3) Remember your truth

What is the truth about you? Not what others have put on you as their truth for you but your truth, the truth of who you are and life you desire to express? Believe your truth of freedom, of abundance, of worthiness, and of being able to accomplish anything you set your mind to. Fill your mind with your truth and the light of truth will dispel the darkness of falsehood bringing you to a brighter place in your life.

4) Use visualization

Our brain communicates in pictures. So the more you use your imagination to visualize yourself being bold and confident, the more you’ll develop confidence as a habit and lifestyle. Take control of your thoughts by visualizing yourself in the place you desire to be – seeing the good that you desire happening to you, beginning to approve of yourself and not waiting for or craving after the approval of others.

5) Use affirmations

Affirmations are very powerful tools to reprogram the mind when used correctly. Repetition of your affirmations of self-confidence begins the mindset reprogramming process and activates the law of growth to take place to produce the fruit of self-confidence.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – 4 Keys to Shift your Perspective from Grasshopper to Giant

A grasshopper’s size is really tiny in comparison to a giant. If you look at yourself with this same perspective in the face of your adversity, you limit and deny yourself of being able to overcome whatever situation you may be going through right now. If you see yourself as being limited and helpless, your belief creates your reality. Yes, you’ll find that you’ll not want to look for a solution because you think that you can’t find a way out of your situation.

Your thinking pattern is keeping you hostage to a life of mediocrity. Now’s the time to rise up into freedom and break free out of your mental bondage.

Understand where change begins

You must first understand where change begins in order to create a different lifestyle. If you’re looking for your situation to change before you do then you’re in for some disappointments. Change begins within you and as you realize this change starts with the way you’re thinking then you’ve found yourself on the right track. Your thoughts are the seeds that create the fruit of your reality.

Understand what your outer reality is

Your outer reality is the manifestation of your thoughts, the fruit of your thought seeds. Once the seeds have been sown, the stage is already set. You can’t have cucumbers from tomato seeds. Therefore, to change the reality you’ve got to go to the root, uproot them and replace them with new thought seeds. Stop trying to cut down the apple tree and expect oranges to grow instead.

Determine who you want to become

When you determine who you want to be, you can make a shift in your perspective. For example, if you see your current situation as being overwhelming, determine who you want to become in this situation. I want to be strong, I want to be bold. Then shift your perspective from being fearful of the situation. The interesting thing about this mindset is that you begin to feel the strength and confidence in your body. Many times we don’t get the results of strength because we buy into the lie of being helpless and weak and therefore we accept that as our reality. From this mindset how can you win?

Reverse the players

Instead of seeing your situation as the giant and you the grasshopper, see yourself as the giant and your situation as the grasshopper. See yourself as ruling over the circumstance and resolving your issue. See yourself as confident and strong and your situation under your control. See yourself as being victorious and that you already have a way out. When you adopt this mindset you are activating creative energies of change within you and out in your reality.

Remember the ball is in your court – this is your life and you must play the game according to your expectations. Refuse to see your situation as the winning team and start seeing yourself victorious every time. Speak to yourself about being strong. Your positive self-talk will embed the new change within you as you nurture this mindset every day.

Here’s your chance to break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life.

Overcome Inferiority Complex - How to Identify the Grasshopper Mindset vs. the Giant Mindset

No one wants to be identified as being small-minded or feeling like a grasshopper when compared to giant-like adversity. But it’s that mindset which keeps us bound to our situation that we need to release ourselves from when we begin to change how we look at our current situation.

Who’s the giant in this situation? That’s the question we need to ask and by asking it we can change the way we think. But first of all in order to change the way we think we need to identify the grasshopper mindset as well as the giant mindset in order make the switch in our own minds.

What’s the grasshopper mindset?

When you face a situation and you become gripped with fear to the point of not being able to see a way out or even have hope that there’s even a way out, you’ve settled for the grasshopper mindset. You’ve settled to be defeated, gave up trying and perhaps ran away in fear.

Let’s see a live example. You may have the dream of being a singer. But when you think about the going up on stage and facing the crowd you succumb to the fear. You begin to think, “How can I go out to that crowd. I’m not good enough.” Even though that may not be the truth, you’ve decided to give up on your dream and allow the giant of fear to cause you to run away.

What’s the giant mindset?

The giant mindset causes you to see a situation that could be overwhelming or impossible and know that there has to be a way out. The giant mindset says, “It can be done. I will find a way no matter how long it takes. I will be victorious in this. I will have it.”

Let’s use the example from above. The giant mindset says, “No matter how much I may be shaking in my boots, I’ll find a way to go onto that stage and give my best performance. I can do this.” Then despite the crowd, the giant mindset takes a few deep breaths, straighten up and walk out in confidence facing the fear and still press forward knowing that all will be well, I am greater than this fear.

Now look at your situation and determine this, “Do you have the grasshopper mindset or the giant mindset? How can you shift to the giant mindset in this situation? How can you look at yourself through a positive perspective? How can you become the giant?

Whatever mindset you choose, know that one will bring victory and the other will keep you bound.

Here’s your chance to break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life. Here's a simplified step-by-step plan to help you - Overcome Inferiority Complex, 5+ Steps to Overcome Inferiority Complex and Build Self-confidence.

Overcome Inferiority Complex – Are you a grasshopper or a giant?

The way you see yourself, your perspective of who you are, plays a vital part in the way you act and the experiences you have in all areas of your life. If you have a low perspective of yourself or a low self-image no matter what situation, you’ll find yourself being unsuccessful in whatever you attempt to do.

So I ask you the question, “Are you a grasshopper or a giant?” If whatever situation you encounter you see yourself as being small among the giants, then you’re already beaten even before you attempt to step forward.

 

You see, your victory or your defeat is in your mind. And if in your mind you’re already convinced that you’ve lost at the game of life – no matter what the label is, business, career, weight loss, friendship, relationship etc. – you are right, you’ve already lost.

Your thoughts determine your reality and the outcome of what you hope to materialize. So if your thoughts and emotions are transmitting ‘grasshopper feelings’ (feeling small), then you will attract back to you that reality. You first have to BE a giant in order to LIVE as a giant. In other words, you first have to be a giant inside of you, see yourself as a giant for that giant like life to manifest outwardly.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about towering over others in order to take advantage of them. I’m talking about being successful, bold and victorious in all areas of your life. I’m talking about being triumphant in the face of adversity and not cowering under because you feel small, because you feel inferior, because you feel like a grasshopper when you come against a ‘mountain’.

You are more than your current situation. And as you begin to see the giant within you and allow that giant to rise up from within, you’ll begin to gain victory after victory over your fears, over your insecurities, over your so-called inadequacies. You’ll begin to see the power that lies in you which will manifest in your outer experience as you set free the giant within as you release all of your inner inhibitions.

Every time you face a situation and those grasshopper like feelings come knocking at your door, let the giant of confidence open and say, “No vacancy here.” Then move forward toward your goal, knowing that all is well.

Here’s your chance to break free from self-sabotaging limited thinking patterns and beliefs and rise up to a new beginning. You don’t have to continue living a dissatisfied life.

Getting My Body Back Friday - How to Overcome Inferiority Complex to Enhance Weight Loss

When you despise the way you look especially because of your weight it sends a negative message to your body which counteracts any results you intend to have to lose weight. You're sabotaging your own progress when you habour self-hatred or allow feelings of inferiority to dominate your life.

This can really affect your self-esteem. I recall in my personal experience feeling depressed because of the excess weight. But even when you're not yet at your ideal weight, you can still feel beautiful, bold and confident and not feel inferior because of your current physical appearance.

What can you do to change this mindset?

1) Understand your true identity

When you understand that your body is not the entirety of who you are, you stop allowing your physical image to determine your overall identity. You are a powerful spiritual being connected to the Universal Source and Supply. Feeling inferior because of the way your physical body looks only worsens the condition and sets you up to be in a vicious cycle of inferior thoughts which will continue to expand and dominate your life.

2) Change your thoughts

Your weight issue is the manifestation of your thoughts and imagination followed by your actions and therefore the results you're having now. Many of these thoughts relate to unresolved emotional issues, fears, anger, shame, etc. in our own lives. As you begin to change your thoughts about yourself, your body and even your personal circumstances, it will change the results you're having.

3) Love yourself

You may ask, "What does loving myself have to do with inferiority complex or weight loss?" That's just it. Many people don't really love themselves and in turn send a negative message and energy constantly to their bodies. Can you look at yourself in the mirror and truly say and mean it, "I love you?" And really say this in spite of your weight? It may feel uncomfortable at first, a little strange, but keep at it and soon enough your mind will begin to agree with you and your body will feel the effects of being loved by you.

4) Feel good about you

"How can I feel good when I hate the way I look?" I had to face this same thing until I decided that you know what, this is where I am right now, but I'm beautiful, I am powerful, my power comes from within and I began to look at all the positive things about my life. Even if it's just one positive thing you can think of, begin to feel good about that and it will begin to expand into other areas that you never even bothered to think about. I accept myself as is and loved me. Soon enough, as I kept up my workout, my body began to respond to the weight loss.

5) Create positive affirmations with your strengths

When you identify the positive aspect of your life, create positive affirmations around that and keep repeating them. Fuel them with your emotions so they begin to expand in your life. Over and over everyday repeat your affirmations until they begin to take root. And even after they take root keep repeating them until they bear fruit in your life. The dominating inferior thoughts and feelings will begin to lose their grip on you and you'll feel empowered from within.

4 Strategies on How to Shift your Perspective to Overcome Inferiority Complex

The perspective you've adopted for yourself, whether it came from your own opinion or the opinion of others plays a major role. You're the decision maker in your own life and how you decide to view yourself will determine if you'll live in mental freedom or be bound by the thoughts of others.

The next 4 strategies show you how to shift your perspective so you can overcome inferiority complex.

Strategy #1 - Focus on your strengths

Practice seeing who you are through your strengths. Whenever you feel your confidence and self-esteem shaken, refocus your consciousness onto your strong points. This powerful strategy will keep your thoughts and emotions from sinking down into the despair of negative energy.

Strategy #2 - Encourage yourself

Feelings of inferiority complex follow negative self-talk. Shift your self-talk from, "If only I was smarter then I could do...," to "I may not know this particular information right now but I have the ability to learn just like anybody else." Not because someone is more familiar and trained in a particular field mean that they're better than you. The same way they've used their time and energy to become educated and experienced in their field, you could do the same as well if that's what you really want.

Strategy #3 - Plant new thought seeds

You've been sowing thoughts and feelings into the soil of your subconscious mind and as a result, you automatically produce the fruit of inferiority complex. What can you now do? Change the thought seeds you've been sowing with new ideas about you, those of your strengths, and of who you desire to become. Nurture these new seeds with your feelings and soon enough they'll begin to grow, expand and produce positive fruit in your life.

Strategy #4 - Apply the formula for success

R=IOT - Repetition = Imprint Over Time

Practice, practice, practice. Having the knowledge would do you no good if you do not apply what you've learned here. As you actively participate in your life and repeat these steps over and over again, you'll begin to create an imprint over time where you become more confident and increase your self-esteem. That's the formula for success in any area of your life. What will you do now?
