Motivation | 3 Unconventional Steps To Build Your Confidence | Note 279

Stop second-guessing yourself.

 
For Note 117 of the Sincerely HER podcast, I told you that you have to believe in you. I sang a few lines from the song ‘You Gotta Believe’ by the Pointer Sisters from the movie Car Wash.

 
You gotta believe in somethin’
Why not believe in me?
 

I love that song. Here’s the deal. It takes confidence to believe in yourself.
 

Step 1
Believe You Can
 
Stop second-guessing yourself. If you don’t believe you can do it, no one else will. Motivation is great, but belief is everything. What you believe, whether negative or positive, shapes your confidence. You decide what you believe.
 
Step 2
Block Out The Haters 
 
Remove as much negativity from your life as you can. Don’t fall victim to other people’s doubts and insecurities. Surround yourself with positive people that encourage and challenge you to be better.
 
Step 3
Change Your Self-Talk
 
Worrying about things that are unimportant or things you can’t change is a waste of time. Shift your perspective from limiting thinking to believing anything is possible. Replace negative thoughts with encouraging thoughts.
Think I can, I am, I did.
 
You can do it. If you doubt you can, use these three unconventional steps to build your confidence.
