Are you in need of a mid-year refresh? I've been coaching for many years now, and from my experience the biggest thing I've learned is that - Clarity and Confidence are the keys to Achieving RESULTS!
Here are the TWO Keys to help you build your Confidence! 1. Get To Know Your Values Personal values are a big passion of mine because they are at the core of who I am. They are one of the most important things you can know about yourself and are vital to cultivating genuine inner confidence. Your values form the foundation and cornerstone of who you are. They represent your deepest priorities and the principles you hold dear. Research shows that aligning your life with your core values is a key factor in achieving greater well-being and satisfaction, as it leads to a more authentic, fulfilling life. A value is something intrinsic to you, a guiding principle that matters most. This could include beliefs, family, fun, nature, achievement, or freedom—whatever you cherish most in your life. So why is it that certain people or situations can leave you feeling angry, frustrated, or even deflated? Often, it's because these interactions are clashing with your core values. When something or someone opposes what’s fundamental to you, it naturally creates an emotional response. Recognizing and honoring your values empowers you to make choices that reinforce your true self, bringing greater harmony and resilience in challenging situations. It’s often because one or more of your values is being denied, suppressed, or repressed—something research shows can lead to negative emotions and even stress. When this happens, we experience it as a negative experience because it denies a fundamental piece of who we are. You know those times when you’ve felt really alive, amazing or buzzing? Those are the times when one or more of your values are being honored, and you can get more of that by continuing to put yourself in situations that honor your values. Your values are all yours, and no matter what happens, no one can ever take them away. You can have absolute confidence in them because they’re there all the time just waiting for you to notice and use them. When you get to know your values, you can start to make choices and align your life around them. It’s so simple and it feels amazing because all that really means is that you’re allowing who you are to live in the real world. 2. Exercise the Muscle Confidence is a muscle, and like any muscle you need to exercise it so that it doesn’t shrink and waste away. The problem is that unlike your biceps or glutes, which tend to stay in the same place, your confidence muscle can be harder to find. How do you develop your biceps or firm up your glutes? By doing exercises that are designed to work that muscle over a period of time until you see the results you were looking for. It’s just the same with confidence. Let’s say that you’re the kind of person that doesn’t take many risks, the kind of person who goes through each day doing what needs to be done and doing it well, but not really stretching yourself. You might talk yourself out of doing something because it’s too scary or because you think to yourself - "I’m not good enough" "That’s not who I am" or "I don’t really want it anyway." That kind of person lives within what they know and what keeps them safe and comfortable. The fewer risks they take, the less confident they need to be and so the less confident they become. To work your confidence muscle you need to be prepared to take risks – big or small. You need to be willing to stretch yourself in an unfamiliar direction, to try something new or try something in a slightly different way. In my experience, opening yourself up to the possibilities around you—and pushing yourself to expand what you know, what you do, and who you are—can be transformative. The more open you are to risk, opportunity, and new possibilities, the more confidence you’ll need. And with each step, the more confidence you’ll develop. That’s your confidence muscle at work.
