Confidence and Self Esteem
The start of a New Year. For most 2012 will be a testing
time.
Newspapers and news reports are full of doom and gloom, austerity
measures taking effect, reducing spending power of families, jobless numbers rising and the outlook bleak.
The current economic climate for most of the population
is going to be problematic, and it’s fair to say the challenges placed on
individuals, families and society in general will become greater.

All these challenges will increase anxiety, impacting the
general wellbeing of many of the population. Anxiety is rising and the drugs
prescribed for the anxiety condition are rising too.
People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS will be affected as stress; demands and
anxiety take their daily toll. The digestive system is a delicate system and responds
quickly to stress and anxiety, mostly in a negative painful way.
Those who have lost their job through involuntary redundancy
face many challenges as the private sector fails to increase job vacancies to
mop up the redundancies in the public sector, though if there were less red
tape and interference in SME’s the story could quickly change, as SME are vital
to the country getting out of this current economic mess.
And yet, all is far from lost. Each and every person has the
ability to do something about their situation. Success rarely if ever comes
knocking on your door, you have to go and find it. We have to change the rules
of engagement. If we don’t have the confidence or self-esteem to make things
change then do something to find it and develop it.
I started my internet business by re-mortgaging my family
home, because I believed in what I was doing and that was researching and developing
the IBS Audio Program 100, my first self-help audio program for adults, which
is now a leader in its field.
It was rejected out of hand by a leading London PR company
as being unmarketable; it now goes to 45 countries! Time after time it was rejected and yet I
persevered, and eventually the program took off and is trusted widely. A major
NHS referral hospital uses it, and self-help groups promote it.
I refused to accept the word no! I didn’t have the skills I needed so I
learned them; I saw a problem and decided I could do better than what was
available. I learned from people, I questioned things, and yet these are not
things only the few can do, each and every person reading this can make a
difference for themselves and their families, to their job prospects, if they
want to.
For me it wasn’t an option to do nothing, to simply wait for
something to come to me. Of course those with IBS or Anxiety, or reduced confidence and self-esteem and those going through difficult times emotionally,
need to deal with those issues first, before they can get the emotional
balance, and the drive and motivation to make further positive
differences. But once they have worked
through those things in a structured way, then they can achieve whatever they
want to achieve.
And in this first week of the New Year, I have instructed
that all my Self Help Audio Programs downloads are reduced by 20% in price, my
way of giving some support to those who really deserve to feel better, and
those who decide to make a difference for themselves, and their future.
