Learning Self Confidence Daily

Self confidence is defined as to be secure in yourself and your abilities.  An easy way to break it down is, can you trust yourself.  We are not born with self confidence - it is something we build up over the years, and the best way to do that is to honor commitments you make to yourself consistently.  Don’t say you will do something like drink less or lose weight, and then sit around hoping it happens.  This will cause self doubt, which is the opposite of self confidence.   

Self doubt is often readily available for most of us because we are afraid to try something and feel a negative emotion.  If you have decided to drink less, or weigh less you may be uncomfortable sticking to a drink plan or food protocol.  Truly, do you want a feeling of uncomfortable to derail your efforts?  When you understand you can handle any emotion you will see your confidence build and your life explode.  Your opinion of yourself matters, it is the most important thing as you work towards your amazing goals.  If you have the ability to feel anything you are much more willing to have a bring it on attitude. 

Spend some time this week thinking highly of yourself.  This is different than arrogance.  Arrogance has you thinking you are better than someone else.  A self confident person is going to think they are good, capable and worthy.  They are going to stick to their plan, no matter what.  Consistently having your own back and honoring commitments you make to yourself will build the trust needed to increase your self confidence.  You don’t have to be perfect, you do have to trust yourself.   Self confidence says we are all capable and amazing.  In the end, we all die.  It’s over before we know it - show up, speak up, smile and make your life amazing!
