It is becoming all to common to hear about how insecure someone is. When people start to transition into adolescence and young adulthood they begin to compare themselves. This is not all internal. Society and the media makes it too easy to fall into the trap of judgement of yourself and others. When you're little you don't overthink or focus on the way others perceive you and I think that's the main reason why children always seem happy. Sometimes to me it seems like people brag about how they're insecure drawing attention to things that other people wouldn't normally notice. I can guarantee you that you will always be your harshest critic. Here are the first three things that happen when you abandon the trend of being insecure:
1. You attract a more positive energy
The law of attraction is real, you really get what you put out into the universe. You know those people that seem to always have something good going on and you can count on them have a smile on their face? There's a reason that they have such good luck and it is because they consistently believe things will work out in their favor. Then there are those people that always have something bad going on, it seems like there's a dark cloud over them all the time. "A key part of the Law of Attraction is understanding that where you place your focus can have an intense impact on what happens to you." (http://www.thelawofattraction.com/) Try to start looking for the good things in life and you'll be surprised at how things around you start to change.
2. People will notice your happiness
When you go from having a lot of insecurities and sadness looming over you to finding a new appreciation for yourself and the world around you people notice. You may think that your friends don't realize every time you look in the mirror how you look down in disappointment or how whenever you see your reflection you suck it in and stand up straight. We notice and we wish you could see what we saw in you. You are so much more than numbers, sizes, and standards. People can sense when your're not completely comfortable with yourself and once you begin to alter that they'll see the change in you. You will exude confidence. This process isn't quick and it's not easy either but it is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself. Author Barrie Davenport says, "Self confidence can be learned, practices, and mastered- just like any other skill."
3. You'll start being treated better
Once you leave behind the negative energy that used to go into self loathing, worrying, and overthinking you'll have more time to focus on other things. You will find a newfound love for life. This is something that I've experienced first hand. It can be hard at times. You'll want to fall back into your old ways but you know fully that you can't. It is something you will have to work for. Looking for the bright side of a bad thing can be hard but it's so worth it. Once you master pointing out a silver lining it keeps getting easier and that's when people will start to treat you better. How would someone be rude or give attitude to someone who is always a positive influence in their life? Good karma will always come around.
