I'm not confident. I could never do that. Is that the story you keep telling yourself? Are you struggling with low self-confidence, self-belief? Would it help you to know that you are not born confident? No one is. Yet, some people appear more confident than others. How is that? We have both suffered from time to time with low self-confidence and little belief in ourselves and have held ourselves back and played small. It has taken lots of years of reprogramming and new habits to increase our confidence, effort, practice and consistency to feel it from within. Confidence has to come from within yourself. An inner belief that you can achieve great things, and succeed and is a way you convey that inner belief that you are confident to the outside world. But most importantly how you feel, behave and show up and the actions you take from a place of self-belief and confidence. And, confidence is not about being conceited, arrogant, egotistical and coming from a place of feeling better than everyone else, putting others down in order to 'feel' better or more confident. Confidence is a realistic sense of belief in your own abilities, talents, skills, intelligence and capabilities and trusting in yourself to be able to handle things and do the best you can no matter what. So, now we know that we aren't born with it, how is that some people are more confident – or appear more confident? They've done the inner work. They have trust in themselves. Confidence is a state of mind, positive thinking, practice and ultimately, belief in yourself.
