Second track
At the end of the day, the most important resource that you can develop to buildself confidence is to be more in control of and aware of your emotions - so thatyou can use them properly. Have these wonderful gifts – of sadness and anger and worry and fear and disappointment and guilt and determination and joy andsatisfaction - working for you. Learn to tame and befriend the tiger of your emotions ….. and then ride the tiger in the direction that your deep intelligenceknows is the way that you should go. Your emotions are your greatest gift to getyour essential needs met and also the route to make the changes in your life thatyou yearn for - and so build self confidence.The first thing to do is to access calmer emotional states and gain greater awareness of your emotions and what they could be communicating to you
 –taming the tiger 
. The second step is to spring clean – to uncover and refurnishthe emotional patterns and triggers -
befriending the tiger 
. And the third is touse the energy of your emotions through your imagination of better futures tomove you in the direction that is right for you –
riding the tiger.And so first of all - tame the tiger of your high and uncontrollable emotions
And the clue is not to tackle this head on. Just as you might buy a gift for someone to disarm or to flatter and cajole rather than come right out with it, soyou can begin by being kinder to your whole self.After all, your emotions manifest somewhere or other in your body.For some of us, a strong emotion might be a fear or a spreading tension that islocated in our belly. For others it is tightness in our jaw or chest and for others,emotions manifest as a lightness or heaviness inside our head or on our shoulders or arms or legs.

And so to be kinder to your body is to treat your emotions as you would anhonoured guest who came to your house.What small steps you could take to look
after yourself just a little better 
? Whatmight your body need now to gain sustenance?You could eat just a little healthier – because you know it is good for you. Takesome raw or nearly raw vegetables; spend time cooking good meals with naturalingredients and cut down heavily processed foods; drink water or juice. Theseare just small things.Or take a little more exercise. What could you do today or tomorrow?Walk somewhere new rather than take a car.Visit a park or a lake or a river or a pond or a stream or just take time to walkdown the street.If you have gym membership or sports membership, then make use of it but in adifferent way. And what do I mean by this? - Well go at a different time of theday or week with new people and build a different expectation of what might youmight experience there.And find small pleasures – think about them and anticipate and plan deliciously.Laughing, meeting new people, doing something different with old friends, reallyenjoying a TV programme or a treat. Take some time over the planning and cogitating and implementing of these littletreats.You could be creating little bits of ceremony and specialness.
