Marilyn Monroe like confidence.

Confidence is a degree of self -love and appreciation for our selves. When we feel beautiful (inside-out),others see us as beautiful. We all have a potential to be Marilyn I believe. Here is a story about her I absolutely love. I hope you get inspired by it.

A friend of late Marilyn Monroe told how, one summer’s day, she and Marilyn Monroe were walking in Manhattan, talking earnestly about a subject on which they both felt strongly. Marilyn was wearing no makeup, a head scarf, and a plain coat , and nobody noticed the famous movie star. As they came to the end of the conversation, Marylin whispered to her friend, “Shall I be HER now ?” Immediately she was recognized and mobbed, causing traffic chaos. Her friend says the amazing thing was that she did not seem to change anything outwardly, she just decided to think of herself differently – and the effect was INCREDIBLE.

This inspiring story is taken out of one of my favorite little books – A year of Spirituality by Ingrid Collins . Confidence is created within and is celebrated by the way we walk, talk and dress and by the life style we choose to reflect on our core values and beliefs. Some of us have to start on the outside to create a higher degree of self-love, others explore their inner world first. We live in a busy, demanding and stressful world bombarded by (a lot of times fake) perfection everywhere you look – magazines ,TV, and it just goes on…Sometimes it can be so hard to be good enough, even exhausting.

Here is a little exercise to grow your confidence:

Give your self a brake for a day and pretend in your mind to be Marylin – beautiful and sexy and so lovable (or any other inspiring, powerful person you admire) and watch what happens. Play the role as good as you can and have fun with it.You will be surprised by the effect of a new way of thinking about your self. Fake it till you make it ! Its a fun game to play with yourself and the world around you.And if you do, let me know how it went. I d love to hear it.

The Law of Attraction will soon start reflecting your new way of thinking about your self to you by attracting new kind of attention and experiences. It’s a universal Law and it’s always on your side (as long you are).
