“Fake it till you make it” is not sustainable and often fails to deliver. Why? Because if we don’t believe in our own worth, pretending that we do is not going to cut it long-term. To building confidence, we need to search deep and fix what’s broken, not act as if it never happened.
True confidence comes from competence, from knowledge, from knowledge, from experience. So how do we become better versions of ourselves? BY emptying our cups – that is, by being willing to quiet our minds, listen, observe, learn…💕
Words are a powerful weapon in your confidence battle. Speak to yourself gently, be forgiving and understanding of yourself. And remember–your mind and thinking should be your best allies and helpers, not your biggest bullies.

So, when you feel a lack of certainty, do this: breathe deep, identify the intruder thoughts and silence them. Let them pass and be on their way. Learning to quiet our minds, in the chaos and …
The root of our discontent with the world is often a disguised discontent with ourselves. For the world merely reacts to our own feelings toward ourselves. Therefore, to demand respect from others, we need to first learn how to respect ourselves. To attract love, we must start by loving ourselves. Self-acceptance is, then, the requisite …
