Fake it 'til you become it

It really makes a difference how we see ourselves. If we see ourselves as weak we will become weak. If we see ourselves to be strong we will be strong. Our body language has lots to do with how everyone around us and how we see ourselves. If we stand tall, open our shoulders, we will look more confident. We will look like we can do anything we want.

But what if we don't feel confident? Well - we need to fake it. We need to act like we do and then our body will send signals to our brain telling us that we are confident. It is just like smiling when we are happy. And becoming happy when we are smiling.

When dealing with bullies, being confident is key. But you need to convince yourself that you are confident. This start with changing your body language. It also works with sound focus. This is why a small tiny sound focus is not serving you right. You need to shout it out loud. Even if you are scared. You fake it! You shout like you are the strongest person around. And you will become the strongest person around!
