Building Self
Confidence is a Process:
A
Process of Becoming Aware of Who You Are as a Unique Individual!
Building self
confidence is a process of discovering who you are as a unique
individual. And the only way to feel confident about who you are is to
investigate everything in your life that makes you you!
- What
do I like myself?
- What do I want
out
of life?
- What are my
goals?
- What are my
skills?
- Who am I outside
of my job, my kids, my husband/wife, my family, my friends?
- What do I want
to
change about myself?
- What do I value?
- What are my
weaknesses?
- What are my
beliefs?
- what are my
priorities?
Building
self confidence takes time, patience, experience, and most of all,
choice. And anyone can make a choice to feel better about themselves at
any point in their life. When you have made a choice to start feeling
better about yourself, your life will begin changing.
Also,
understand that building self confidence is a journey of failures,
lessons, insights, light-bulb moments, and disappointments creating an
overall character of your unique self.
So
please know that whenever you are struggling or feel hopeless, find
peace within that moment and know that you are building character and
confidence.
This
is the beginning of a life long relationship you will have with
yourself. And there is no better time than now to begin knowing who you
are, where you want to go in life, and fulfilling your God given
purpose.

get started on building your self

I recently had the
pleasure to read a book written by Catherine Pratt called "3 Questions

aimed toward helping one develop awareness of thoughts.
These questions are
so simple that I found myself using them during various parts of my
day. I believe that this book is a wonderful guideline for those who
need help with changing negative thinking. For a further explanation of
her book go to, 3 Questions That Will Change Your Life written by the
author of Life with
Confidence.
