Building and having continual confidence isn’t something you
can do with just one personal development skill. It takes several skills to
have the ingredients to mix a batch of lasting confidence.
In this short series we will look at some of the basics
needed to “mix up a batch” of self-worth and killer confidene.
1st of all.. Just what is self-confidence?
Have you ever accomplished something that took a lot of
effort and made you feel proud, but you still felt less than confident about
yourself in general?
In psychology, this feeling that we don't really deserve
what we've earned is described as the Imposter Phenomenon. No matter how much
you accomplish or acquire, it won't satisfy you unless you have self-confidence
on the inside.
True self-confidence has nothing to do with what you've
accomplished and everything to do with your belief that you have the ability to
accomplish anything you want to do. Your confidence is based on who you are,
not what you did. No one or no adverse outcome can take that away from you.
Have you ever thought about confidence in this way? It makes
sense, doesn't it?
Why We Don't Have It..
Is there something in your life that you would like to do
right now? Are you afraid that you'll procrastinate, or get sidetracked, or
that you won't finish it?
To do something, no matter what it is you want to do, you
need to realize that you're starting from the beginning. You will make mistakes, probably lots of
them. It's ok. :-)
Are you waiting for the magic to happen that will take all
the fear away and make you feel certain of success? It won’t come. The only
magic is in not waiting and taking the first step in spite of the fear.
We have an amazing tool to help you get started. :-)
