Today we
are talking about deep self confidence. How to get it, what it
feels like and how to make it attainable. I’m a big fan of taking
complicated concepts and turning them into simple daily
actions.
Here is how I define confidence.
A belief in yourself and clarity of purpose.
A feeling that is grounded in authenticity and comes
from doing.
Confidence
is often talked about like this big feeling at
the finish line, but that feels unattainable and hard to
figure out how to make progress on.
My
favorite quote about confidence is by Alex Hormozi. He
says “You don’t become confident by shouting
affirmations in the mirror, but by having an undeniable stack of
proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self
doubt.”
I love
this way of thinking about confidence because it
puts you in the drivers seat. Your self confidence
isn’t based on what other people think about
what you are doing or some level of success, but it’s more
about the process and more about what you
do, than what you say.
When you
feel this deep self confidence, it impacts all
other areas of your life. You’re less likely to be
offended and more likely to let little things go. You’re more
likely to charge your big goals and less likely to
let judgment slow you down.
It’s a
superpower and we’re talking about how to tackle
it!
Why have
deep self confidence:
-It makes you less affected by the opinions of
others.

happiness.

comfortable expressing yourself clearly.
-It positions you as a leader rather than someone who
is easily influenced.

ability to navigate change.

passions.
How to get
deep self confidence:
-Put things on your daily
habits like that move your towards your
goals, personally and professionally.
-Every
week, try new things, do hard things, continue to learn and
push yourself.
-Since we
know that confidence comes from doing, just keep
doing things that align with your goals
and priorities.
What it
feels like to have deep self confidence:
-Confidence comes from doing the things
you say you are doing to do. It’s this deep feeling of trusting
yourself.
