Be Your Most Confident Ever
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
— Golda Meir
Do you ever look at someone who seems totally in control and wonder, how do they pull it off?
Do they have something I don’t?
Or did I just miss the memo on how to be one of those people that is so confident and always seems to come out on top?
You may be thinking, “I feel in control in certain ways, but in other ways I totally doubt my abilities, my presence and influence, and feel like a total imposter.”
Is there a way to replace self-doubt with confidence, and live a “charmed” life?
Or is it a pipe dream that is foolish to even consider? Should I lower my expectations and avoid disappointing myself?
I think we’ve all felt self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and feeling less-than in certain situations.
The great news is, confidence is not just given to a chosen few.
Like any muscle, we have to TRAIN ourselves to be confident and program our mind to think and act like the person we want to become. Once we do this on a consistent and repetitive basis, our confidence is real.
Here are 4 tips to make it happen:
1. OWN IT
Take stock of what is great about you from top to bottom RIGHT NOW. Make a list of 100 things that you’ve got going for you. By noticing the good, you are providing yourself with evidence that you can reinforce to create a new belief about yourself - and activate your confidence.
2. ENVISION IT
Imagine yourself as someone you see as really confident and memorize that feeling. You are training yourself to actually hold the frequency of confidence in your body and eventually you will start believing it. You can call on it anytime.
3. CLAIM IT
Create an"I AM" statement that you can claim for yourself. For example, "I AM moving forward today with ease and confidently taking actions to serve what matters to me. This is what it looks like as I AM becoming the person I want to be." Why this matters is that our words are very powerful and we create our experience with our thoughts and our words. At first, it won't feel true - and that's OK. Just repeat it until it starts to become true because your subconscious mind installs anything that you repeat as a belief.
4. LOVE IT
When you achieve something, receive a compliment or make a connection that boosts your confidence, no matter how small it is, appreciate that it happened. When you receive good things with love and gratitude, you welcome more in.
Keep a running list and give yourself a confidence boost when you’re looking in the mirror each morning. Feel love for yourself and appreciate the good that people see in you.
Pick one of these tips and do it throughout the day, or cycle through all of the tips each day to really build your confidence muscle.
Within a month you will notice a big difference, and if you do this consistently, your confidence will completely change in 2021.
There’s nothing anyone else has that you don’t. Get out there and feel GREAT to be you and celebrate the person you ARE becoming.
