The Self-Esteem Supercharger
“I still doubt myself every single day. … What people believe is my self-confidence is actually my reaction to fear. …
“I’ve always had a horrible fear of not achieving… I’ve learned to use [self-doubt and fear of failure], to flip that negative energy around and make it a challenge.
“I keep going because I doubt myself. It drives me to be better. I’ve learned that the mastery of self-doubt is the key to success.”
Will Smith [Parade, July 11, 2004]

Many talented and competent people, even when they have achieved recognition and a list of accomplishments, may experience self-critical thoughts, insecurity and feelings of low self-esteem.
Meryl Streep has said, “I have varying degrees of confidence and self-loathing…. You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent… Or that you’re boring and they’re going to find out that you don’t know what you’re doing… any one of those things.” [From my article Being Creative and Self-critical.]
Here is some information about a program to increase your esteem – from the Learning Strategies site:
The Self-Esteem Supercharger helps build an inner confidence, a sense that you are something special, a feeling that you can accomplish anything, a strength that can pull you through. It is a wonderful “feel good” CD — you will feel good when you listen.
If you are sincere about your desire to be all that you can, then this CD will build the foundation for an incredible life.
When you feel down — as every human does now and then — muster an initiative to listen and the whole day will turn around. Customers say they no longer feel lethargic, they quit moping, and they see an eminent bright future.
Customers also find benefit in listening to this CD within a couple hours before an important meeting or a sporting event such as tennis or golf. Some claim to be unbeatable when they listen before their game!
Others have reported personal breakthroughs. You do not have to accept what is dealt to you. With the Self-Esteem Supercharger you build the realization that you have control over your thoughts and feelings, and thus, your life.
Many professional and recreational athletes have found listening to the Self-Esteem Supercharger before a game or match improves their performance.
Professional soccer player Michael Cestone writes, “I had tried subliminal tapes with limited results, so I had to try the Paraliminals because they were different.
“I was desperately looking for something to help me prepare for the season. I noticed results immediately.
“The first time I used the tape I felt more focused and was able to read the game better, as well as make faster decisions. That was only the beginning.
“Skills I had practiced for years suddenly began to emerge, and I was able to completely control the ball in almost any situation. I began to use a broader range of moves I had been practicing, which led to my being more unpredictable to the opposition and thus more successful.”
