I have used visualization very effectively in overcoming some anxiety ridden situations. Given that we all have strahghts and weaknesses, the challenge, I think, is to look inward, go through introspecive exercises, and identify those areas where you truly demonstrate a strenght, proficiency, gift, (call it what you will). Then engage in those experiences that you are good at and that bring pleasure. Hello Everyone: Some great and encouraging comments.

Just recently i started Argentinean Tango to break up some social barriers of mine and the feedback of being a natural talent just after a few hours has worked like a miracle. Also cooking being a passion of mine I fully relate to making good food for good people. Thanks! Self growth is a wonderful thing.

I am a big believer in Baby Steps. Baby Steps have changed my life and become my mantra. This article has "baby steps" written all over it. Thank you for the encouragement. I enjoyed this.

I think we would benefit from a Zen teacher there. Just a thought.

I agree very much with the statement that you just have to keep getting up when you fall. Also, positive people are such a huge blessing! It's so important to have nurturing friends and family. I've found that sometimes being uncomfortable, unsure, or thinking I can't do something are signs telling me I should jump in. If someone tells me I can't do something, then I'm sure I should jump in!

I like the term "confidence challenges". It's actually amazing that confidence can be transmitted from one experience to the next. But we tend to focus on what went wrong, instead of on what went well. Good thing we can change! Hi Janice!
