Be Your Own Hero by Deciding Who You Are

You are the creator of who you are and you decide what kind of person you will be each day. By developing self-confidence and feeling good about yourself you become a stronger and more assured person. This book will help you in learning about you, about letting go of negative feelings and how to prevent others from hurting you. Learning how to have confidence, love the person that you are, as well as loving other people, are the main points of the three weeks outlined in this book.  Each day you will sit down in a quiet place and discover things about you that make you feel confident and comfortable with yourself. As you think about each day’s activities and journal entries, you might be tempted to dwell on negative or bad things that have happened during your day or from the past. It is okay to recognize bad things happen to everyone and sometimes you may feel sad or upset, however, this journey is to focus on the good things in life and the amazing things about you! So let go of the negative feelings that you may have and look for the happy and wonderful things of each day.

I recommend getting a journal so you can write down your thoughts and feelings; it is important that you use the journal and actually write things down.  It has been shown in medical studies that writing about your emotions (feelings and thoughts) helps reduce stress and overcome unhappy feelings.  So find a pen or pencil, and let’s get ready to write!

Please note: This is an active process, in order to learn how to focus on who you are and find joy in your life; it requires that you dedicate time and energy to participating.  That means less time playing video games or watching television or movies. There is a very important reason for less time on these activities; they do all of your imagination and thinking for you. It has been shown that the human mind goes into a receptive nonparticipating state when engaging in these activities.  As you start the learning process toward joy and self-confidence for these next few weeks, reduce the amount of time you participate in video games, television and movies.  Your mind will thank you and you will quickly begin to see the growth of joy and peace within you.
