Good afternoon!
Confidence is one of the key elements of our wellness. It is dependent on routines, habits, abilities, prevalent attitudes, and moods. But sometimes, we fall short. Sometimes our ego causes us to lose sight of our skills, knowledge, and capacity to adapt quickly to changing situations. When this happens, we must look in the mirror and adjust our self-confidence to reflect reality.
In this email, we will take a look at how to identify when our confidence is lacking and how to change it.
“Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.”
– Michelle Obama
Maintaining mental toughness is difficult when we have unrealistic expectations of our capabilities. Conscious determination and persistence are enemies of self-doubt and arrogance. While arrogance may give us a little boost, it will ultimately ruin us. Practice assessing your emotions and actions to evaluate whether your confidence is enough; if it’s not, you will need to increase your confidence.
Building confidence is a great way to cultivate another essential aspect of mental stability: a positive attitude.
On one hand, it’s a conviction that you can positively impact your present situation and conquer any difficulties with your abilities, talents, and flexibility. On the other hand, it reveals the following:
• Your commitment style and the importance you place on it
• Your ambition to pursue consistent progress
• Your ability to put an end to self-pity and be grateful to yourself
Your inner critic is one thing that could ruin a positive attitude. When bored, it could occupy itself by lowering self-confidence and self-esteem, but your inner critic can sometimes help evaluate productivity and contribute to improvement. This critic’s crafty tactics usually include:
• Creating boundaries between success and failure
• Catastrophic thinking
• Making you feel guilty
Here are five methods to silence this annoying voice inside your head:
• Analyze negative thoughts as soon as they occur
• Question the facts
• React logically to the generalizations made by your inner critic
• Stop spending time with negative-minded people
• Imagine you have a friend who has faced the same problem as you and give them advice
Be your biggest fan and your own reasonable critic.
Keep going!
