Favorite Self Confidence Quote
For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is being compassionate, to others and herself.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Leannah was taught to take good care of the people around her. She learned to put people’s needs before hers and became a major people pleaser. In personal relationships at work and she started to undervalue herself.
The “AHA” Moment
Leannah learned that she can make herself a priority and also be there for the people that she cares about. She started doing a lot of things alone, which I had never done before such as eating by herself, hiking, surfing and more.
It’s like she learned to fall in love with herself and love spending time in her own company.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Leannah still get moments of feeling like she loses her confidence. She just knows how to get back to her strong and confident self now. When she takes good care of herself and makes sure she is fully resourced, she is better at work, for her clients, and the people around her.
Her brain works better, she has more patience, she makes better decisions. She can’t mess up and even if she does, she knows that her intentions come from a loving place and she can fix whatever she messes up.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We’re all so hard on ourselves sometimes and we talk to ourselves in ways that we’d never let anyone else talk to us. Be compassionate, be gentle. Don’t judge or expect too much of yourself. Accept that you’re doing your best. And don’t expect more of yourself than your best. Confidence comes when we learn to love and accept who and where we are now
