In this episode, we continue Mini-series on Confidence [ Eps. 04 - 06 ] 
  
 I hope you’ve already listened to eps. 04 + 05 which talk about becoming aware of what confidence really is, where it comes from and how under-confidence shows up and sabotages us. (The more awareness you have here the easier it is to build confidence that lasts). 

Today, we will be diving into some ways to build + boost your confidence. 

Ways to build confidence : 

[3:06 - 4:47] Rationalizing technique - Noticing, asking, labeling 

1- Notice the moment of under confidence 

2- Ask yourself where it might be coming from (biology, upbringing) 

3- Label it … Hey, ____ I see you! 

4- Rationalize and separate yourself from those feelings 


[5:00] Watch out for the inner critic or “judge” 

  • This “character” we all have fuels the fire for more underconfidence.


[6:08 - 7:11] Building a GENUINELY supportive community. 

  • Look for individuals that are strong, loving, and gentle people who support and root for you in a genuine way. 


[7:13 - 9:50 ] Aligning tasks and objectives with your current ability level 

  •  The +1 or +2 rule 
  • Cultivate mastery (mastery favors confidence :))  and prove to yourself that you can! 


[9:55 - 10:40]  Change your perception of failure. 

  • Looking at failure and embracing it as information, experience, and knowledge. 


[10:39 - 11:22] Working with a coach … 

  • A real coach who has you tap into YOUR resourcefulness, because otherwise, you’ll be building confidence in someone outside of yourself. 
  •  If a coach promises to give you specific answers and solutions likely they are a consultant, even if they call themselves otherwise. 

If you are interested or just curious about coaching and how that could help you build your confidence …
