The "Ziggy Stardust" Reflex

Confidence requires a little bit of self indulgence.  If someone asks you, "are you attractive?", your immediate reaction should be, "hell yeah I am," like a reflex.  If you hesitate, it is the manifestation of your doubt.  Changing your reflex switches your default from self doubt to self confidence.  This will also increase your spontaneity in social settings.  This important shift I call the Ziggy Stardust reflex.

When you look in the mirror, you want to automatically say, "Damn! Look at you!"  My old college roommate John was the master of this, despite not being the slimmest fellow.

Why do I call it the Ziggy Stardust reflex?  Well, theres a line from the David Bowie song, Ballad of Ziggy Stardust, that goes"...making love with his ego..."  Although I'm not really sure whether the context of this line in the song really relates to what I'm talking about in this post, but it gets the idea across.  The line in and of itself holds the ZS reflex's essence.

Being reflexively confident in yourself is to make love with ones ego, to an extent.  It is wise to not become vain and self absorbed.  But some self love is healthy.
