Manufacture Your Day by BEING CONFIDENT
Have you ever experienced a situation in which you lacked confidence in your life? I think we all have to a certain degree.
I lost my mom last year but the greatest gift I received from her was my unwavering confidence. Don’t you think this is the best thing parents can do for their children?
Does this mean I have never doubted myself? Of course not but in general I had a greater belief in my abilities than I allowed self-doubt to creep in.
In general, I have noticed that women doubt themselves more than men.
Did you know that “Men are judged based on their potential; women are judged based on their past performance?”
Interesting, right?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want women to get into the victim mode because there are also more than enough men who lack confidence, and I believe that a lack of confidence is often the missing link between getting your dream job and not.
Today I would like to give you 3 quick tips to build your confidence:
- Embrace a growth mindset: When something doesn’t go the way you want it to go, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. There is no failure, only feedback about what works and what doesn’t.
- Improve your self-talk: I speak about it all the time but it is so important to evaluate what story you tell yourself about yourself. If you put yourself down, how can you feel good about yourself?
- Take note of past successes: Small or big we all have something we are good at. Evaluate what it is. For me, it has always been trying something new and proving to myself that I can.
Confidence is important in every aspect of life. Make sure you work on it.
Food for Thought:
Does it sometimes seem like everyone around you is confident and seems so sure about himself /herself?
