Week 3: Action Woman Week
Welcome to Week 3 of the Be a Man Magnet Challenge
You should now understand yourself better and know more about men. So this week, I want to take you to the next level. You will face the fears that potentially hold you back from being happy within yourself and ultimately finding love. Now is the time to challenge and overcome your anxieties, fears and worries.
Typical love barriers There are many different factors that prevent us from meeting men and having great relationships. Here are the main love barriers:
Lack of confidence Feeling 'not good enough' or 'unworthy' are among the most common factors that hold women back from enjoying healthy and happy relationships. Low self-confidence is prevalent in a society that places so much emphasis on 'success' of every kind, including having the perfect romance and relationship.
Without adequate confidence levels you're unlikely to find a happy and loving relationship. This is because women with low confidence tend to attract men that will take advantage of their vulnerability. They realise that you don't think much of yourself, and see you as an easy target for a quick fling - or in extreme cases, an abusive relationship, be it physical or emotional.
When you feel confident, you are more likely to attract men who feel good about themselves too, as most men admit that confidence is one of the most desirable traits in any woman.
Top tips to improve your confidence
- Affirm to yourself every day your three best personal qualities. Write them on post-it notes and place them around the areas you're most likely to see them - the bathroom cabinet or desk drawer for example.
- Choose something that you're good at and develop that into a hobby. Research proves that women who pursue active interests that they feel good about have higher self-confidence.
- When that 'little devil on your shoulder' starts running you down, change your inner voice into a more positive and soothing one.
Shyness Being shy and keeping yourself to yourself impairs your ability to develop relationships. Shyness usually develops in women who are overly critical of themselves and who believe that everyone notices their faults.
