Building your confidence is all about you!

Building your confidence is all about you!

Really, it actually is?all about you!

?Has this ever happened to you: You’re sailing along, having a wonderful day, and all of a sudden, you look over at that person “over there” and start comparing where you are, to where they?appear?to be.

?If you’re working on building your confidence, the quickest way to shoot it down? Start comparing yourself, or your current situation, to anyone else’s. As tempting as it may be, it usually doesn’t end up well.

?You don’t know someone else’s back story or circumstances. You’re probably making a lot of assumptions…and you know what assuming does…

?The interesting thing for sure??Everyone thinks that everyone else is looking at them and judging where they’re at; when in fact, everyone else is feeling the same way!!

?When you make it about yourself, however, that’s when you’ll start to appreciate that you have your own specific trail you’re on, and it is?exclusively yours. All your lived experience to this very moment is YOURS. No one else has had exactly the same experience as you and never could.

It’s your uniqueness that makes you…you!

?So…how do you remember this, especially when those moments occur?

When a moment of “I should be or I wish I was” crops up, ?check in ask yourself:

  • What assumptions am I making?
  • What’s true about me and my situation?
  • Remember, it’s quite likely that someone else is looking at YOU in exactly the same way.
  • Take a moment to look back at your own path and see how far you’ve come…impressive I bet!
  • Stay in your own lane…it’s uniquely yours!
