What makes us lack confidence and bring down our self-belief to the point we no longer take risks or have leaps of faith when a great opportunity comes into our lives?
Did something happen to lower our confidence, and are we still holding on to past trauma?
And how do we overcome it?
Would meditation help?
How about journaling our moods daily and how we’re feeling help?
Or maybe expressing ourselves through poetry brings out those vulnerable moments and finally sets us free?
Or is it something we have to seek help for?
What do you do when you lack confidence but have the drive to say I want more, and I know I can’t get it if I don’t have the confidence or the self-belief that I’m good enough to do it?
All these questions keep running through my mind as I step into a new me, but I am still trying to shake my old thought process.
You won’t know how good you are until you do the thing you’re hesitating about, for the first step is just the beginning.
I used to lack so much confidence and self-belief that I relied on others to Validate who I am and what I stand for. But then I worked with a coach who broke down every wall I put up in my life and I found my voice and my inner child and adult self wanting to break out and voice their opinions and show the world they matter and that they are here to stay.
I know my journey isn’t over, and I still sometimes want to hide or stop when things get hard, but I know I’m meant to do more and help others, too.
I would love to know how you ladies or gentlemen handle lacking confidence or self-belief. Or if you would like to answer any of the many questions above?
I’m currently doing meditation to center myself and enhance my creativity, and I’m journaling, praying, and taking baby steps to complete the goals I set for this year.
