NLP - Learn from Your Mistakes and Increase Your Self Confidence

Written on July 19, 2008

Everyone has weaknesses. Healthy confident people acknowledge that and know how to learn from their mistakes. If you want to become a healthy self-confident person, you also need to learn to deal with your faults in a productive way.

How your parents reacted to your behavior and your mistakes when you were a child has consequences on how you deal with mistakes right now, as an adult.

If your parents gave you unconditional acceptance, it has certainly encouraged you and chances are you felt good about yourself. On the other hand, if your parents were overly critical or overprotective it has probably damaged your ability to develop self-confidence. And this is exactly what happened to me as a child. Even now, as Im 30, they call me to tell me what to do and to be critical. Fortunately, Ive learned how to deal with that through self-improvement and NLP.

As a child, I have been punished for mistakes I made and I have been ridiculed even. Its OK to punish your children, but to a certain point. If that happens too often, the person likely goes through life trying to avoid mistakes, instead of learn from them.

If you were ridiculed for mistakes by a parent who told you its bad over and over again when you were young, you will have a hard time to fully develop self-acceptance. Instead of accepting your mistakes and move on, you may have felt it necessary to hide mistakes.

People who have a hard time to admit their mistakes have a deep value of perfection. They want to be perfect, for all, everywhere, all the time. Well, its not going to happen. They need to learn humility and recognize that perfection is not of this world. Success, happiness and peace have nothing to do with perfection.
