How to Overcome Intimidation
There’s
no such thing as intimidation. There’s no such thing. There’s
no such thing. What I’m getting at here is that intimidation
is not a “thing”. If you feel intimidated by something
or someone, it’s a process you’re doing mentally.
Nothing more.
And because
you’re doing this process that causes you to feel “intimidated”,
you can also do a process that causes you to feel confident. Here’s
why. You’ve had times in your past where you were NOT intimidated.
Right? Times when you just did feel comfortable all around? If
you answered yes, and I’m betting you did, then you can
stop feeling intimidated.
Think about
the process of being intimidated or being confident as two separate
computer programs for your mind’s computer. You can run
one program and feel intimidated. Or you can run another program
and feel confident. The problem is that people don’t recognize
that any intimidation they feel is just a result of them running
the wrong program in their mind. It’s time to upgrade their
program.
One way to
upgrade your computer program (and thus stop being intimidated)
is to recognize how specifically and when you’re doing it.
What do you do to be intimidated? Do you imagine people making
fun of you? Do you picture people laughing at you? How do you
run your intimidation program in your mind? You can immediately
take control of that process and STOP IT.
Once you become
aware of the intimidation program, you can upgrade to a “feeling
confident” program. Stop right now…and think back
to the last time you really felt confident…like you feel
on top of the world…and you imagine yourself to be unbeatable…and
you look out and see a world ready to be conquered by you…and
you get that solid feeling in your stomach of you can do it…and
the voice inside your mind says, “oooooooooooooooooo yeah….I
can do it! I’m simply unbeatable!”
Got it? If
not, close your eyes and relive a confident past memory by seeing
what you saw, hearing what you heard, and feeling how you felt.
Ok, by doing this means you’re running the “confidence”
computer program in your head. Good job. Do you realize how easy
it was for you to launch the “confidence” program?
This is symbolic of the fact that you can launch the “confidence”
program anytime you want.
Terminate
the intimidation program by recognizing and interrupting it if
you catch yourself doing it. Take control of your mental programs.
Then launch the “confidence” program. It really is
that simple.
