Personal Confidence Training
Summary of main points.
Confidence is a natural state which, if it’s lacking, requires you to build it up. When you have true confidence you don’t think about it, you don’t feel it, you just get on and do what you want to do.
Confidence is about being comfortable with who you are and having the skills, knowledge and habits to do what you want. It’s about being satisfied with where you are in your life’s journey right now. On this journey you can expect to learn more, change your priorities and acquire different passions and aspirations. If you’re not changing you’re just standing still. If you’re focusing only on the destination rather than the journey, then you’re introducing tension.
Whatever it is you choose to do that’s important to you requires a certain amount of knowledge, skills and habits. When you have those then you can do those important things. When you don’t have them you’ll struggle or worse, won’t even try doing even those things.
Since confidence is a natural state of being, it’s only when you have a lack of confidence that it becomes an issue.
The gap is the difference in your mind between where you think you are right now and where you think you should be. Both are made up by you, and the bigger the gap the more stressed you’ll tend to feel. Tension and stress most certainly undermine confidence.
We all have a false idea of where we currently are, but you can change both where you want to go and how you perceive things right now. Learning to be mindful about your daily life will get you more rooted in the here and now. Rather than slowing you down it allows you to remove distractions, allowing you to focus more of your energy on living the life you have. And the amazing things - that boosts your confidence.
