Growing up, I honestly don’t think I had much confidence at all. Like… barely any. I wanted people’s approval so bad. I didn’t really speak up, I didn’t stand up for myself and I don’t think I ever had the confidence to be fully me most the time.
It’s crazy looking back now, because I’m not that same person anymore.
Somewhere along the way fitness faith and wellness changed that for me. Not overnight, but slowly… through reps, consistency, and doing things I didn’t think I could actually stick to. I started proving to myself that I could follow through. That I could show up even when it was hard and no one was watching.
That built confidence in me!
Now I don’t really seek validation from people like I used to. I’m rooted in who I am my values, and honestly my relationship with God. I know who I am now and I’m confident in that.
I think that’s what confidence really is… it’s not something you wait to feel. Its something you build by keeping promises to yourself over and over again.
So after 23 days… I’m curious… are you feeling more confident?
