Hello friend! 👋
Confidence is critical for maintaining a life of purpose and passion.
But most people think it’s something you’re either born with or not.
Here are 7 ways you can build your confidence by treating it as an outcome and working on foundational interventions instead:
Prioritize your physiology
Often forgotten, yet the most fundamental. Confidence of the mind thrives on confidence of the body (health, strength, and stamina)
Challenge yourself with big ambitions
The bigger the aspiration, the farther you reach even if you fail.
Break big goals into micro goals
An impossible task kills your confidence, break it into chunks to crush through them.
Celebrate hard when you win
Even the smallest wins count.
Be mindful of your self-talk when you fail
We all know what negative talk does to a child, but forget that we too need compassion when we fail.
Seek professionals who can spot your strengths
Coaching with a professionally trained coach can help you unpack your confidence.
Keep commitments you make, it builds self-trust (micro goals help here)
Confidence is all about building personal accountability, much like your confidence in others being built on how accountable they are.
While this differs from the superhero confidence we see in movies, it is more impactful because it operates at a deeper level.
Want to challenge yourself?
For the next 7 days choose one of these activities and make it a priority for that day.
By the end of the week, you’d have had first-hand experience in seeing its impact.
But also have a week of building your confidence behind the scenes.
You’ll thank yourself for trusting yourself.
Have a Super Sunday! ⚡️
With much joy,
Hashim
