Self-confidence

BBC World Service - World of Wisdom, Self-confidence

Can self-love help us to believe in ourselves more and trust our own abilities?

Can self-love help us to believe in ourselves more and trust our own abilities? Nadia, from Colombia, speaks to Sufi teacher Jamal Rahman about her lack of self-esteem.

Is self-love the key to developing confidence? If so, how does it work? Nadia, from Colombia, doesn’t trust in her own ability to succeed, especially in her career and feels trapped by her lack of self-esteem. She speaks to Sufi teacher Imam Jamal Rahman, who shows her ways to help develop self-love. He suggests that by getting used to focusing on the present moment, rather than the past or the future, she can become more confident. He also says that by acknowledging painful feelings rather than trying to fix them, she may find that they lose their power.

Presented by the BBC's Sana Safi.

Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards.
