What a learning experience the past 2-3 weeks was.... a laptop overtaken with malware, trying to patch and fix it... and eventually throwing in the 'fix-it' towel and reinstalling the whole thing. The learning from it deserves a separate blog
post.... just to share why I've been scarce.
On to today's topic:
Confidence - or the lack thereof - can be a show stopper for many of us.
I've heard this line from my clients so often:
"If only I had the confidence to..... " and it's followed by so many wishes like
- to make this big decision
- to do something about this problem
- to start a business
- to market my business
- to start writing my book
- to go for my goal
Not having the confidence can feel like:
-
procrastination
- your fears telling you not to even try
- envying those who ARE stepping out and doing their thing (apparently with confidence)
- worry and anxiety
- push-pull between 'I want this AND I don't want it" (inner conflict)
- I'm scared to go for my
goals
- it's not SAFE to go for my dream
- .... and so many other 'symptoms'
We talked about how it works that events in our childhood shape our confidence, what to do when you want to increase yours, and how
finding our strengths can lead to a huge increase in this magic quality we call 'confidence'.
It was originally aired on Facebook, and the interview now conveniently plays from my website as well. The magic of technology!
