Confidence plays a big role in your desire to pursue your goals & how you present yourself to others. It’s also a general sense of believing in yourself, but many of us lack confidence in certain areas of our lives or don't feel confident at all. Here are 7 tips on how to become more confident!

Show Notes:
Genuinely, I used to believe confidence would just come to me someday. I would just, BAM, have it in me, because it appeared to happen this way to others. Other people I knew just seemed to gain confidence overnight or in a moment’s notice when it was needed most & then have it for the foreseeable future. I envied it for years.

And sadly enough, it wasn’t until our daughter was like 4 or 5, so only a decade ago, making me like 26, that I finally realized I had to decide to have confidence, instead of waiting for it to appear like the tooth fairy was going to leave it under my pillow. Even in the things I was really good at, I lacked confidence. And I tell you this because I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way. I might be the only one to admit it on the internet, but still. It needs to be shared that it’s ok if this is how you thought about confidence. Or maybe you thought not everyone gets to have confidence. If you didn’t have it from the beginning, you weren’t getting it at all. But that isn’t true, either.

Or maybe you used to have such strong confidence in yourself and it did seem to come naturally, but it felt like someone took it away. And I say this lightly because I don’t believe we can blame others for changes in how we think, believe or decide to be. People in our lives & environments we spend time can, for sure, influence these things, but all the blame can’t be laid here. This doesn’t diminish the effect these things had on you that shook your confidence. It still matters & is important. And experiences like that can be sometimes worse than not ever having confidence because you know what you lost.

It’s also true that you can have confidence in certain things & not in others. Today I’m speaking more on having confidence, in general, but it’s important to note that you can still use these tips I’m going to give you, even if you only lack confidence in certain parts of your life. It should help boost it all because confidence plays a big role in your desire to pursue your goals & how you present yourself to others. It’s also a general sense of believing in yourself. So more of it isn’t an issue.

Here are 7 tips on how to become more confident in your life:

1. Surround Yourself With Uplifting People (positive people/influences)
2. Resist the Urge to Compare Yourself to Others (different seasons, different reasons)
3. Become More Self-Aware (understand your emotions, decisions, reactions, reasons)
4. Don’t Stop Growing & Learning & Changing (don’t stay stagnant, show yourself you can still be confident in new things)
5. Accept Your Mistakes & Failures (don’t let these things defeat or define you)
6. Lean Into What You Are Confident In to Show You the Way (it’s like breadcrumbs)
7. Live in the Present (don’t worry how this will affect the near future or be reminiscent of the past)
