Confidence

One of the words that I try and use daily, with the clients I see and groups I facilitate is confidence. Being confident for self. What does that mean? Self has the ability to be confident when self is in the moment. Ask yourself this question. When you are balanced, working your routine, utilizing your higher power (what ever you choose) is life fun again? Confidence comes when you are doing things that help you learn to like and love self again. Sometimes we want to be confident instantly, right this second. As we all know, being confident takes time time. We need to slow our thoughts down and work our steps, one thought at a time. Being impulsive and making quick decisions are not going to help you be confident in your thinking or behavior. Remember, confidence starts when you are in control of your thoughts. When self is confident, the negative things around you slowly start to bounce off or go away. You are not dwelling on the negative, or making the negative thoughts bigger in your head. You glean how to work through struggle when you are confident in a healthy way! Exercising, journaling, and eating healthy will help with your confidence. Those past negative behaviors stay in the past when struggle is present. A inner confidence begins to build in your personality. Sure, you still may be sad, or struggling with some things in your life, but you are confident that you do not need to go back to the addiction or unhealthy behavior that you once portrayed. You begin to like who your are at this second! Today be confident in your thinking and you will see positive behavior. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
