The Truth About Confidence
The Truth About Confidence
Confidence...
This is something I struggled with for most of my life! It wasn’t until this past year of really diving into God’s Word and listening to hours and hours of motivational audiobooks, that I had the realization….confidence is actually a choice! 😱
I truly believe what we fill our mind and thoughts with gives up energy or it takes our energy. Positive thoughts and encouraging stories help us believe in the good in this world. It can even spark motivation inside us to help be that good in the world! Negative thoughts or focusing on what we don’t have in life actually makes up believe less then are full potential.

Most people who have low confidence or low self esteem are waiting for someone else or something else to validate their worth. This can be a character trait that developed during childhood or during teens years. Whether it was neglect from a parent, emotional abuse or just a broken relationship that caused you to feel unworthy and left with low self esteem and negative self talk, any of those scenarios can play a huge roll in our level of confidence as an adult.
This was ME for many years!

I feel like God finally opened my eyes to this important point.
“The only person whose opinion that matters for our validation, created each of us so uniquely, and His plan WASN’T for us to all fit some crazy cookie cutter mold!”
We are supposed to embrace our differences and strive to live life as our full authentic selves! The definition of authentic is to be genuine and true to ourselves. When we try to copy someone from a magazine or another Mom we see at school, it can make us feel inferior and revert back to those feeling of self doubt or negative self talk. No matter how hard we try to be just like them to gain more self confidence, we are actually causing ourselves to be less confident. We move farther and farther from our genuine and true selves that we were created to actually become. The piece of this world that will help make it whole!

Each of us individually are supplied with confidence. It’s a energy source that lives inside each of us but, it is controlled by the power we supply it with either the positive or negative thoughts. To have more self confidence really look at what your filling your brain with.
Is it….
Encouraging
Uplifting
Positive
Empowering?!?!
These are some of my favorite ways to help fill my mind with confidence daily:
I’m sure most of you are Busy Moms just like I am so podcasts or audiobooks fit perfect into my lifestyle! I listen while getting ready in the mornings, driving, or just sitting a few minutes to fold the laundry. Any spare minutes I might have to get a positive energy boost for my day!
I encourage you to gain a new perspective about confidence and realize if you switched your “self talk” to positive thoughts daily... YOU could change the world too! 💜💥
