Ok...I'll let you in on my secret for making some major changes in my life. I used to be a very painfully shy person (believe it or not)...however right around the time I began dealing with my self-esteem/sexuality issues I was also thrust in to the position of "Trainer/Instructor" for the company I work for. Well, you can't be painfully shy and be a successful teacher can you...doesn't work that way.
So I adopted the approach of "acting" yes, I said acting like a teacher that I admired in the past. You know what? It worked...it was very uncomfortable at first to put myself out there...I thought everyone would see through my charade...after a little time passed though...I became that self-confident teacher I admired. I no longer had to act the part...I was that person. I used to think that was such a "chicken" way of doing things...but you know what? It worked! So I adopted it in other roles in my life as well...was a I being untrue to the person I was with by "acting" my ideal of what I wanted to be? No, I was still me...I was just pushing myself to change to be the way I wanted.
Was really surprised to find that other very successful people have adopted this same approach in their lives...did you know that Barbara Streisand also adopted this approach to get over her shyness? And there I was thinking I was being an original thinker LOL...just goes to show you, there is no original thought
