Definition of Self Confidence
What if self-confidence is where you can be you without any apologies? If you knew that you can’t go wrong, what can you choose? And what if you can choose to be anyone or anything in any moment, who can you choose to be? When you own your choice, no-one or no-thing can stop you.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Yee Ley’s self-confidence was non-existent. She had low self-esteem and had no idea of who she was or able to receive compliments or conversations. She remembers as a teenager her neighbour paid a compliment about her long straight black hair and she just wanted the floor to open up and swallow her up. As a kid, Yee Ley just wanted to hide when family friends came to visit. She seemed she could not handle receiving any attention and criticism from her parents which left her wondering why she even existed to the point where she tried taking her own life at the age of 11. She found this world harsh and confusing as to why anyone would want to be hurtful to each other.
Yee Ley became known as the nice quiet obedient lady who did what she was told. She was the typical conscientious student and the one who worked diligently in her career. But as a young adult she was becoming a bit of a doormat for other people to use and abuse. This impacted her relationships at work and at home and her health and wellbeing. She suffered from eczema and panic attacks. Life was challenging, stressful and monochrome. She did not know how to speak up or say no, or let alone having an opinion.
The “AHA” Moment
Yee Ley realized that better was possible when Reiki healing came into her life by accident. She joined a local gym near where she worked. As part of the gym membership a 15-minute session from the wellness area was offered. So she randomly picked one thinking it was a massage session, but it turned out to be a light touch energy session and thought it was a load of nonsense. But just after those 15 minutes it felt like someone had literally taken the weight of her shoulders and she felt amazing. Her mind could not make sense of what just happened as this practitioner just lightly touched her head and shoulders. Even her work colleagues commented that she looked a lot lighter.
Another ‘aha moment’ which was a slow burner and more uncomfortable to receive, was the realization that ‘you are the creator of your reality’. No one else is to blame. For many this is a bitter pill to swallow including herself, but it meant that it puts you in the driver seat of your life and then you can look at ‘what is my role in this situation, and what can I do differently here?’. With this realisation, it meant she started looking at who she was being and make changes in her choices.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Yee Ley’s world full of possibilities and choices! Things come to her easily and way better than she expected it to be with opportunities, money, inspiring friends, collaborations and so on. Life is an adventure! She feels like she is living her life!
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Strengthen your muscle in choosing for you without losing you in the equation. Choices that make you feel lighter is true for you and what feels heavy is not for you.
Let go of the idea that you need to get it right first time and view choices as a way of refining what you do and don’t’ like.
Our emotions are just letting us know if we’re off course to what is true for us, so instead of going into upset, drama, and feeling like it’s a ‘lesson to be learnt’, use it as a way to go, okay, ‘what did I really want to choose here? and what else is possible now that feels lighter and will create greater for me?’
