Learning to Celebrate and Record Successes
Are you bad at celebrating your successes? Ever notice how someone could list 20 positive things you did to achieve something great, but you only remember the one critique they have regarding your approach. You must learn to celebrate and record our successes and use the critiques to build towards something more significant.
You may have a sharp mind and the capacity to save the memory of sweet victory but journaling your experiences along the way can also be an excellent way to catalog your successes.
Celebrating successes also provides you with a foundation for building self-confidence and success.
Confidence should not be confused with arrogance. Confidence occurs when we trust in our knowledge, skills, and ability to achieve a specific outcome.
A lack of self-confidence can be like a magnet holding you down if you let it.  Arrogance is the embodiment of pride of self-importance. There is a distinct difference. Your ego can be detrimental to your success and become a negative obstacle.
Rewiring Our Minds
We can rewire our brains so that we ditch those negative thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness and meditation are excellent ways to clear our minds, build new ways of thinking and produce results.  Mindfulness allows us to focus on the “now,” and acknowledge or accept our feelings. It enables us to control our emotions, achieve mental clarity and focus, increase energy levels, enhance decision making and improve your overall energy. 
Learn to Trust in Ourselves
The biggest part of believing in yourself is learning to trust yourself. Self-trust goes hand in hand with self-confidence. Once you establish trust, you will see your confidence rise, and you will gain a sense of power and courage.
Lifehack.org suggests that with meditation, journaling, and other self-reflective activities, you can learn to trust yourself. Each of these things will challenge you to examine your beliefs and poor conclusions about who you are and set you on a journey to addressing each issue and establishing goals to get past them.
Do Not Become a Victim of Fear
Avoid becoming a victim of your own fear. This emotion is an offensive force that can keep us from believing in our capabilities. Fear can create self-doubt leaving us unlikely to promote our self for new opportunities, likely to run away from criticism or feedback, and lack the comfort level for being who we are as individuals. You must take small steps to conquer your fear.
Learning to believe in yourself does not happen overnight, but with small changes, you will experience great successes in life. Learning to discard self-limiting behaviors and beliefs will enable you to live the life you deserve and achieve your greatest potential.
