⚡️If You Want More Confidence...

Do you ever find yourself going around in circles with your brain?

• 💬 I’m not good enough
• 💬 No, wait, maybe I AM as good enough – I did get a great review last week
• 💬 But… they were probably just being nice…
• 💬 No, wait, that doesn’t make sense, why would they lie...

And around we go. 

Look, this is a good start if you’re working on confidence. At least you’re challenging the negative thoughts, rather than just believing them.

But if you want to finally stop the merry-go-round…  🎠

They key is to stop arguing with your brain.

In an argument about whether or not you’re “good enough”, your brain will always find evidence that you’re not - and reasons to discount evidence that you are.

• ➡️ The praise wasn’t justified for some reason.
• ➡️ The accomplishment didn’t count because you had help.
• ➡️ You’re not actually very good, you just work harder than them.

Your brain’s top priority is alerting you to potential dangers.

It WILL find a way to win the argument.

But here’s the magic. You don’t HAVE to participate. 🤷‍♀️

In the same way you wouldn’t engage in an argument with a toddler about why they can’t have the sixth bar of chocolate. It’s just a “no”.

“Maybe I’m not good enough” is just a thought.

As soon as you engage, you’re back on the merry-go-round.

Time to step off. 🔥
