Thread: What is the one thing you most want to change?

What is the one thing that you want to change about yourself? I'm not really talking money wise. For me, I really need to be less shy. I have been shy my whole life and it's really affected me. I just can't change completely, but I've gotten better. I know in time I'll get better but I wish I could conquer it now.

So what do you want to change about yourself? And how will you go about it?

This is one of those topics that I really love. Why? Cause I try to analyze myself constantly and see what I need to change to be better.

Right now I am working on improving my focus. I tend to go in multiple directions so I don't go too deep in any of those. The One Trick Pony thread is one of those that I read constantly to remember what I should be doing...

NLP and hypnosis, as well as self hypnosis, works very well. You could easily experience a confidence shift that would improve shyness using these methods. I have had great success with many different desired improvements.

There are certainly things I'd like to change about myself, but, overall, I'm content with myself. I would definitely like to become more self-motivated (in terms of school and working out), more disciplined, and more focused. They all seem to be qualities that are very common among successful people. I think they'd go a long way in helping me down the road.

I'd also like to curse a little less (mainly to my parents; yes, very bad...I know ) and just be more enjoyable to be around. I'm a little shy at times, usually when I first meet people, but then there are other times when I'm overly hyped up. I'd also like to be more grateful for how fortunate I am.

These are two interesting techniques... would you mind sharing more about your experiences with NLP and hypnosis? books, tapes or seminars you got to help you with this?

Hmm...one thing I'd like to change. Just one? lol. Well, it would have to be to eat, sleep, breathe and dream that anything is possible. On some level I do know this, but when it comes to moving forward on a project in my own life, I tend to get overwhelmed and quit easily (or switch direction).

To "cure" myself of this, I watch the Big IDea as often as I can and I read tons on attitude and personal development- and I surround myself with positive people who think big.

I just want to shut the hell up and do it already.

I've overcome things in the past, which have been very rewarding in hindsight.

Right now, I'm working on not caring what everyone else thinks of me. I can think of multiple times of when I have not capitalized on certain situations bc I cared to much what my peers would think.

After I overcome that, It will be getting out of the 9-5 grind.

Public speaking is my enemy. That's one thing I really need to conquer. Has anyone taken a Dale Carnegie course????

I'm going to look into it as soon as I get back from my honeymoon.

The first step is to understand yourself as opposed to trying to change yourself. Build on what you have, play your cards.

I strongly advise you take an MBTI / Jung test. There are many free ones online. A good example is (Personality Test Here)

Discover your personality profile and other peoples to get to understand better the way people tick the way they do, and most importantly understand yourself.

Read up on MBTI - Here,Wiki, Here,

I discovered this last year and I only wish I had discovered it when I was in my teens, it helps you to build on who you really are and have, not on who you are not and don't have.
