Confidence is a skill

• Confidence is a skill and not a god given gift. And as a skill, you sure as hell have it in you to freaking nail this
• Set the intention right here and now that you commit to showing up every day for yourself and listening to the podcast each day
• As confidence is a skill, you can work on this
• How would your life change if you truly were confident in yourself? What areas of your life would shift? Think about it for a moment, please

The key to having rock-solid confidence

• I can’t give you a single “key” because confidence is (like self-love) made up of so many pieces.
  • Like a mosaic. The tiles are pretty but you don’t really get the point. But then when you put the piece together and take a step back! Boom it’s a masterpiece
• Confidence is
  • Picking yourself up after you failed
  • Speaking up even though you’re afraid
  • Wearing that dress
  • Hearing criticism and not shutting down but using it together with brutal self-awareness to grow
  • Doing the next level moves before you think you’re ready
  • Putting yourself out there

Practice being confident

• Being confident is not binary
• You’re confident (1), not confident (0)
• Being confident is a scale. Every time single time you take one confident action, you’re practicing this skill
• Think of it like this
  • You have a piggy bank (Sparschwein in German)
  • And every time you show up for yourself, you’re adding 2€, 5€, 50€ to the pot
  • Really make it a game over the next 5 days to notice the little moments in your everyday life where you react in a more confident & empowered way
  • And get ready to collect some coins :D 

Habits of a confident person to collect coins/practice being confident

• Leaving your comfort zone: Do one little scary thing
• Ditch perfectionism: Have the courage to hand something in that is not “perfect yet”.
• Notice negative comments about your body and shift your focus to one thing you like about yourself: When you’re in the bathroom and notice new cellulite, look yourself in the eyes and say “wow I love your smile, you’re gorgeous” 
• Not giving a fuck what others think
• Listen to your ass-kicking cheerleader voice: You know that voice that says “I know this is scary, but we’re doing the thing now, you’ve got this”
• Hold eye contact when you’re talking to someone
• Watch your body language: Chest up, sitting tall, open body language, firm stance
• Smile more: When you’re alone, when you’re talking to someone, when you’re sitting on the toilet. Not joking: Just adding 10 more smiles a day will increase your mood and confidence tremendously 
• Speak up and allow yourself to take up space: In a meeting, when you’re with your friends, you’re allowed to take up space and you’ve got so much valuable things to share
• Focus on your strengths: Instead of dwelling on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths and what you bring to the table.
