6 Steps Of How To Boost Your Confidence To T.H.R.I.V.E
Philippa Gittens Apr 2022
1. Thoughts
Is it about me?
Why do I not ask for that pay rise I so want?
Why do I not start the business I have been thinking about?
Why do I feel uncomfortable about meeting new people?
You often find that you ask “why” to a lot of external factors, but very rarely do you ask that of yourself.
As you begin to answer these questions, you realise that it is not the external factors that bring joy, happiness, guilt and sadness, it is about understanding your own values, your inner feelings and vibrations.
It is about your self-talk. The conversation you have with yourself when no one is around. The constant thoughts you have.
It’s about giving your mind the room it needs to grow and expand. It is about taking a look at the things that have worked for you and being open to other ways that might work.
2. Health
Health and confidence go hand in hand. They perpetuate one another, and one leads to the other. The problem can be where to start. It’s easy to say “If my health was better I would feel better about myself,” but that is a mistaken belief. The truth is, if you feel good about yourself and have confidence in your own abilities, you will find it easier to set realistic physical goals, and stick with them. In turn, recognising and celebrating your achievements along the way will increase your energy level, super boosting your confidence at being able to meet your next goal.
Whether you are thinking about exercising more, eating differently, trying new physical activities to strengthen yourself both internally and externally. Believing in yourself will help you channel your focused mental energy into your physical health. You can be healthy and develop a healthy lifestyle regardless of your age or current physical limitations.
Here are few things you could try to begin your journey:-
- Join the gym
- Simple Yoga Stretches
- Meditation
3. Resilience
Resilience is that awesome skill that helps you recover quickly from difficulties and setbacks, like losing your job, separation, divorce or the death of a loved one. If you are resilient, when life knocks you down, you bounce back and keep going. Sometimes life’s adversities can make you emerge stronger and more able.
4. Intention
You have the power to create a reality that excites you on every level. Through your intentions you can land your dream job, travel to places you thought you would never go, and live a life that at one point may have felt out of reach. The possibilities are endless, but it is not the intention alone that brews this seemingly magical power. An intention is the budding flower given life by all of the underlying thoughts, words, and actions in the rich soil below the surface.
Intention gains it’s true power through the focus of your attention on what you may do in the present moment to bring your intention into physical manifestation.
3 examples below of intentions.
What is your intention?
My intention is:-
- To have courage
- To be heard
- To learn
Remember intentions do not mean anything without ACTION.
5. Values
Values are a core part of who you are and how you see yourself. By getting clear on your values you can gain clarity about who you are and what you stand for. This will help you understand what values are crippling your image so you can build beliefs and new habits to replace them.
Here are 3 ways to explore your values:-
- Accountability
- Commitment
- Growth
