GOOD MORNING.....Confidence for me is a very delicate thing. I had more disruptions in my life than support, and a lot of betrayal and meanness. Some of us are more fragile than others, so some of us have a harder time with confidence than others. We tend to doubt our own feelings and thoughts. We also conger up a lot of guilt about things. We always think we can do better which makes us feel insufficient. We struggle through life. Life as I always say is about change, big and small, epic and unseen, incredible and horrific. Confidence crumbles when we reinforce feelings or insecurity The more we believe these feelings, the harder it becomes to go through life, happy and running smoothly. Normal we could say, but our version of normal becomes weakened and compromised. Thats when we start questioning ourselves in any situation. They may be simple things, but to us they are big issues. Im not super brave, but I dont carry much as far as physical fear, I am a fighter, but truly lack of bravery makes me feel less confident than most.The thought of following through makes my stomach turn into knots. But I have to work on my self esteem, To rebuild confidence I have to feel like I belong somehow, feel like Im worthwhile and capable. It makes me uneasy, but I could ask for someone elses help, even though that is difficult for me. But not everyone will reject me The root of my confidence is in my perception and knowledge of the world and people around me. Reading motivational and inspirational books, meditation and prayer is my thing. What could help me more to build my confidence. Maybe I could even join in an intelligent conversation about something I know, something I have real passion for. Through learning and applying ideas I can connect with people. I need to develop a level of slight ego, in order to make my feelings known, and then maybe theyll stick. My ambition may be a bit lost but it comes naturally to me to write. They say stick with what you know. Well I must know some, because I am always writing about something. Whenever you have that yes go ahead moment, dont let yourself slip into old thinking. Prepare for new opportunities, with the skills you have. Its my confidence and I am owning it. Everyday I can, I will learn to regain things I have lost through hard times and hurt feelings, Then I can finally say Yes its me and I am confident. {~~ Believe in yourself!
