Growing your confidence and how it can change your life!

In the words of educator and activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham, "Confidence is the necessary spark before everything else that follows." Confidence is the driving force that turns inspiration into action and turns vague intentions into 'nothing is going to stop me'. Confidence is the key to picking ourselves up after a fall, facing failures, and moving forward with certainty.

In this blog post, we'll explore how confidence plays a pivotal role in various aspects of our life, from achieving personal goals to embracing a healthier lifestyle and making lasting improvements and changes.

The Power of Confidence

Confidence isn't just a personality trait; it's the bridge between aspiration and achievement. Without confidence, we find ourselves stuck at the starting line, burdened by self-doubt and paralyzed by the fear of failure. Confidence on the other hand is the invisible force that propels us forward, urging us to take the first step towards our dreams.

Gaining Confidence is a Journey.

While some may seem naturally confident, it's a trait that can certainly be acquired and nurtured. How confident we are is often dependent on our upbringing, who we have been influenced by and by our community and social settings. When we step from out comfort zone repeatedly, we grow stronger, smarter and more confident over time. 

When we consider the impact of making positive changes in our life – adopting a healthier lifestyle, getting stronger, or making better dietary choices. The fear of judgment or societal expectations often holds us back from pursuing these changes. However, breaking free from these constraints is the first step towards building confidence.

Seeing is Believing. Always Start with the End in Mind.

“You can’t be what you can’t see.” This mantra holds true in the context of confidence-building. Visualising yourself as the person you aspire to be is a powerful exercise. Envision the positive changes in your body, envision the strength you'll gain, and imagine the person you want to become. Acting as if you're already living that reality can significantly boost your confidence.

Surround Yourself with Support

Confidence needs a support system to thrive. Embarking on a journey towards health, strength, and self-improvement can be intimidating. Having a group of friends or a community that supports and encourages your efforts can make a significant difference. Surround yourself with individuals who motivate you to keep going, even when the path gets challenging.

Use Curiosity as a Tool.

Be curious about your own journey. Ask yourself questions: What can I do better? What was my intention for the day? Is my intention geared towards success, or am I sabotaging myself with thoughts of "I can't do this"? Cultivating curiosity and awareness of your intentions, thoughts and actions can be a very powerful pathway to self-discovery and help to continually grow your confidence.

Confidence is the Key to Freedom

Confidence allows you to be free, both on the outside and within. It's the powerful and liberating force that unlocks the doors to your big, bright and beautiful future. For many, confidence begins with being comfortable and assured in their own bodies – both physically and mentally. Feeling great about yourself enables you to face challenges head-on, stand tall, and approach life with a sense of calmness and relaxation.
