We all want to feel good about ourselves but, not understanding our true potential, we often feel inadequate and lack self-confidence. True confidence comes from within and doesn’t depend upon what others think of us. In this half-day course we will learn to recognise and abandon negative states of mind that are the true causes of our suffering and problems.
