Learning how to trust the process and to believe in yourself can help you find success in online or affiliate marketing.

If you want success in the world of online or affiliate marketing, two parts stand out.

Trust the process and believe in yourself and in all you do.

Here are some ways to help you further.

This is a great benefit for beginners and intermediates alike who are starting out.

Or some who may be struggling a bit more than you want or planned.

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Inner Strength

Life can be tough at times and that is normal and part of life itself.

What isn't normal, is to worry about the worst things that could happen.

That is part of society's teaching to keep you at the lower end of the ladder while those at the top stay high.

Instead, enjoy what can and will happen for the greater good.

We spend too much time worrying about not making any money with our website.

We worry about what to write or did I select the right niche.

Instead of panicking and fearing the worst, trust the process and you have that here before you.

As you start to believe in yourself know that things will work out, even if they seem difficult right now.

You do have the ability to overcome any challenges and you will have challenges along the way.

Creating a Happy Place for Peace of Mind

Building a business online can take your mind all over the place if you allow it to.

The thought of having to write constant content over and over again can be stressful at times.

Some haven't written any type of article since their school days and for some of us that was a while ago.

This is why you need to find some peace and tranquility in life at times, regardless of what is going on in your life.

Remember you are building a long-term business that is yours to keep and one that will always be ongoing.

A website is never finished and always a work in progress regardless if you are a starter or a super affiliate.

If you want the success you are seeking then you do need to put in the work, effort, and have a positive mindset.

When things start to feel a bit tight, this is the time to find some peace and quiet.

Not to relax and work at your own leisure, but to give your mind a rest from overthinking.

Doing so allows you to better connect the dots when you need to.

So take a short break especially when you feel the pressure is building up.

If fact, your need to take regular breaks away from the computer, mobile, or whatever devices you are using.

You need that time to yourself and yourself alone.

This is aside from being with family you need your own personal space as well.

Find a quiet place, it can be in the garden or elsewhere.

Even going to the beach or a park but somewhere you can enjoy the view, atmosphere and some much-needed me time.

Some like to meditate for a bit whatever or wherever it is you need to relax and recharge your batteries.

Wherever you are apart from driving, of course, relax and close your eyes.

Deep Breathing

It is not about doing chanting and oms but you could if you know how.

Take some slow deep breaths, and visualize yourself in that calming place.

For those who aren't sure how to breathe deeply, here is one of many types of methods you can try out

This will help you to centre your mind and focus within yourself.

This technique can help you relax and find inner peace.

Doing so allows you to approach your online marketing journey with a clear and focused mind.

You can start by doing this for 5-10 mins if you are new.

For those that do meditate then do the normal length of time as you generally do for yourself.

Deep breathing is about helping you to relax and find that inner peace within your mind.

Your body also needs to relax and be away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Plus it takes you away from the electrical energies around you.

How to Breathe Deeply and Visualize:

If you are at home have some soft and relaxing music.

That is music only, nothing over the top or music that has sudden changes in sound as this can disturb your mindset.

Simple relaxation music or if you are outdoors put some headphones on.

Headphones also help to filter out other noises around you and this way you can focus more on what you are doing now.

In this case, learn deep breathing first, later when you get used to it you can add some visualization.

For some, it may take a little longer to get used to learning deep breathing.

Too many people especially office workers, are used to breathing in at chest level.

This is really shallow breathing.

Deep breathing is breathing from below your stomach think of the belly button area for easy reference.

Each time you take a deep slow breath feel the breath going down to the belly button area first.

Sometimes it is helpful to place your hand in the area and feel it expands slowly.

Let it continue until it reaches your chest not the other way around.

Hold your breath for 5 seconds at first.

Then slowly release the breath hold for another 5 seconds before you take the next breath.

Then rinse and repeat for 5 - 10 minutes.

As you get used to this you will fill the lower area first then to the chest.

This will give your whole body which needs that so-called breath of fresh air.

Doing this helps to calm your mind and is also beneficial for your whole body and also healing.

Later, use your imagination and picture soothing images while taking slow deep breaths.

This could be a favorite place.

Even imagine beautiful scenery and imagine yourself there.

Deep breathing also helps to slow down your heart rate and reduce stress.

Another part you can do when you are used to it is with each intake of air feel the positive energy entering your body.

With each outtake of air, you can imagine or know that any negativity or tension leaves your body.

Doing this can help you feel more centered and ready to tackle any challenges that come your way.

Doing this on a daily basis you will find how much more work and thought in what you have to do online will benefit you.

Along with other areas of life.

The benefits of deep breathing cover more than you realize.

Believing in Your Journey and Skills

Banishing Self-Doubt through deep breathing or via affirmations

Once you are able to work on your deep breathing this part can then help you further.

In fact, at any time you take time away for yourself.

Affirmations are great to use and very powerful if you do it right.

When you do believe in what you say.

The best place to do and say affirmations is in front of the mirror.

This way you are enforcing the words to yourself while looking at yourself.

Plus will give you more confidence in talking and being around others.

Trust the process the mirror talk does work.

Doing both methods help overcome that negative thinking battle going on in your head.

The more positive you become the better you will understand that you are good enough to do what you set your mind to.

This can be affiliate marketing, creating those posts that you will be creating along the way.

Remember before you can help others you need to help yourself first.

Don't listen to the negative thinking of others.

How many times have you heard from friends and family when they find out you are wanting to build your own business online?

Things like:

• What are you doing this for?
• You can't compete with those experts.
• You are wasting your time.
• Why don't you just get a normal job like the rest of us?

Well if you are happy slaving for someone else and do nothing amazing in life then go for it.

Heard those before? Especially the part like the rest of us.

Well, you are not the common sheep that is in the field.

There is nothing wrong with being the black sheep of the flock.

In fact, as you apply yourself in all you do you will stand out more above the so-call normal pack of wannabes and most often those that give up quickly.

They blame everything except owning up to their own failures.

Overcome those negative thoughts they tell you that you're not good enough or that you'll fail.

One part is important to remember that everyone starts somewhere and that progress takes time.

Those not willing to take positive action to achieve their goals and wants in life will be that flock of sheep following each other in circles.

If you want to be a cut above the rest then these methods will help out it is up to you how much effort you put into this.

So rather than asking yourself: Am I good enough to do affiliate marketing?

Instead, you will know that " Yes I am good enough and more"

Self Criticism

Instead of criticizing yourself for things that didn't go your way, focus on the steps you've taken so far.

Enjoy the skills you've developed in your online marketing journey.

Continue with the lessons given.

Even go back and refresh on what you have already done.

At times we can't remember everything all at once.

Sometimes it is a great way to refresh your mind and even new thoughts and ideas can come from it.

Ask questions where or when you need to.

You know you have support around you here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Remind yourself of your accomplishments and the potential you have to achieve so far.

Even being able to build your first-ever website is a great achievement.

That first piece of content is an achievement.

Why because you went forward in a positive way.

Don't stress if you made a post to a page or a page to a post.

There is an answer and solution to that which is simple and easy to fix.

No need to leave your post in draft mode for fear that your post is not good enough to be seen around the world.
