WE are on to the fifth Confidence Becomes You class and I must mention what a joy it is to see the transformation in some people. I am super thrilled to start my Fifth Edition. In order for us to grow, we must develop confidence. I told a few stories about my confidence and how it benefited me in my book Living With Intention.
I told my cousin, Clem, I was going to be at Motivating the Masses with Lisa Nichols in Atlanta and I will be in the front row. I even envisioned the tiger-print outfit I was wearing in the front row without knowing how I was going to make that possible. On October 22, I sent a pic to my cousin wearing a tiger-print outfit and sitting in the front row. My faith gave me that confidence and that day is as clear as it was yesterday. I always feed my faith and starve my fear.
A confident person is not always right but they don’t fear to be wrong or fail. People buy into you before they buy into your vision, product or services.
A human mind with the ability to think well is like a diamond mine that never runs out. Teaching someone else to think better is the best gift you can give someone because it represents the gift of unlimited potential. Good thinking shapes who you are so we have to be intentional to engage in good thoughts.
I am sharing with you a few of the things I will be sharing in the class:
WHAT IS SELF ESTEEM AND SELF-CONFIDENCE?
Self-esteem refers to how you feel about yourself overall; how much esteem, positive regard or self-love you have. Self-esteem develops from experiences and situations that have shaped how you view yourself today.
Self-confidence is how you feel about your abilities and can vary from situation to situation. I may have healthy self-esteem, but low confidence about situations involving Math (this is true).
When you love yourself, your self-esteem improves, which makes you more confident. When you are confident in areas of your life, you begin to increase your overall sense of esteem. You can work on both at the same time.
To improve both your self-esteem and self-confidence, you have to be intentional in every way.
Set small, achievable goals and be committed to achieving them.
It’s this commitment that will keep you going on those days when you want to give up.
Hold yourself accountable and be responsible. It is easy to blame everyone else so don’t let us fall into that trap.
Motivate yourself every day and have positive affirmations. I AM, I MUST, I CAN, I WILL.
Just like we have confidence builders we have confidence killers. Comparing yourself to others can damage you more than you know.
Don’t compare yourself to others because you are uniquely you and only you can tell your story best.
OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINION OF YOU
If you worry about what people think, it is because you have more confidence in their opinion than yours. We all at some point have to self-doubt and it may bother us but don’t encourage such thoughts to linger. Confidence makes us say, ‘Yes I can then figure it out after’.
LOW SELF-WORTH-I DON’T THINK I CAN
It is not the difficult that defeats us it is the lack of confidence in ourselves that defeats us.
We will also be discussing how to develop your core message, how to manage your time better and how to present yourself and brand better for you not to rob the world of your amazing contribution.
We will also be discussing the 15 Laws of Growth by John Maxwell.
What are your plans to raise your self-esteem and confidence level?
You have an open invitation to join us for the next Confidence Becomes You Class and our private FB group.
