👍 I don't know anyone who doesn't want more confidence. The power to stand within your own skin and stay there.

Confidence is achieved by honoring your word and your mind.

😡 An example of this is when you are mad at somebody, and part of you wants to forgive them.

And then you don't, for whatever reason.

But if instead, you honor that part of you that wants peace, you will gain confidence. 🕊️

So if you want confidence, start doing what your mind is prompting you to do .

🇺🇸 The more that you realize that your self-hate has more to do with denying those good thoughts, the more freedom you'll have.

And the more confidence you'll gain. 💪

💡 The first thought you have, it's quick, is your conscious, or the light of Christ.

Let's say you're walking down a hallway and you see a piece of trash. Your first thought might be to pick it up. 🗑️

But then you don't.

That is self-betrayal.

The authentic you would have picked up the trash. But the prideful side of you said no.

This self-betrayal adds up over time.

💔 It secretly and slowly breaks you down.

The reason that your life isn't where you want it to be isn't because you're lacking something.

It's because you forgot that the excuses you created are just that- excuses.

It's because of self-betrayal.

❤️‍🩹 So strive to be true to your conscious. Act on your first thought and trust your conscious.

See how it changes your life.

💬 I'd love to hear about a time you listened to that first thought. Tell me about it down below 👇

💥 Your life was going just fine and then bam!

It got turned upside down by an event or sickness, injury, pandemic, and you just can’t seem to be okay with any of it.

🪦 Most people don’t know this, but when something changes that used to be reliable, it induces grief and although nobody died, SOMETHING died.

And when something dies, the longing for what was must be accepted.

You need to know though, it’s common for us to long for what was, and resist accepting what is.

💎 Confidence problem, or worth problem? 💎

In our last post, we discussed the problem with over-identifying.

🛑If you haven't read that yet, go take a look and then come back. 🛑

Rather than over-identifying, try viewing what you do as a craft.

Focus on what you do as a profession, as something that is fun.

👌 Think to yourself "I am trying to perfect my craft and become the best that I can."

When you do this, confidence comes as you execute the things that you learn. 🤩
🚗 But if you mess up, fail, struggle, it's all part of the journey. You don't have to be so afraid of it.

So if you think you have a confidence problem, consider if you actually have a worth problem.

😩 Why do I struggle with confidence? 😩

Chances are that you've over-identified with what you're trying to do.

For example, if I over-identify as a therapist, I will NEED them to get better and I will NEED to see great results every single time. 🔮

Because if they don't, it says something about me personally.

Why?

🤩 Because I have equated my self-worth, with what I do.

So rather than struggling with my self-confidence, I am actually battling is my self-worth.

This is a problem because if I have a bad result, I will feel like it is all my fault. I should quit. I'm a bad person. 🙈

This becomes very dangerous, and yet it's really easy to do.

🤺 Follow along to hear the other side of this issue, and learn how you can combat it in our next post.

💬What is something you've over-indentified with?

💢 Most of us stop at anger. 💢

Let me explain.

😡 I don't believe anger is a secondary emotion. It's very final. We all feel it.
-
😕 Sorrow means feeling let down and disappointed. And sorrow tends to linger.
-
I believe there is usually sorrow behind anger. But we don't want to feel it because it lingers.

If we would allow ourselves to feel that sorrow rather than jus the anger, could that sorrow help us make decisions that are more inline with our character?

🌎 Would the world be a less hostile place?

I'm not saying you should feel sad all of the time, but that sorrow can momentarily help you to avoid making rash decisions out of anger.

❤️‍🩹 Take a look at your anger, and push deeper. Is there something inside of you that could turn to sorrow?

And allow yourself to feel it, and see how it impacts your actions.

Men are stuck in shame.

🧭 Envision a compass. At the center stands a man.

⬆️ He decides to go North, the strongest direction, but then he hears a message of "don't be too strong, don't be in charge, don't be in control."

⬇️ So he hesitantly decides to head South instead. But he hears "don't be soft. Don't be weak., and don't have feelings."

➡️ He feels confused, jected, and angry. So he heads east. Only to hear "don't be too emotionally expressive. Don't exhibit any feminine trait."

⬅️ His last resort is to head west. Only to hear "don't be too sexual. Don't pursue women."

So he feels stuck. He feels shameful, and unimportant.

😩 Most men are going through this. But they probably don't know it. They never found a way to express it. But they feel lonely, and angry.

If you resonate with this, follow us to hear mental health tips for men.

😱 I don't want to be AFRAID of what people think. 😱

🖤 But I CARE about what they think. I care that they know that I love them.

By increasing your security in yourself and your confidence, you become more powerful and more able to connect with people. ⚡️

So how do you do this?

💰It's a paradox. The more that you love and invest in people, the less afraid you become about your own inadequacies. And the less you care about your own inadequacies, the more you can love and invest in people.

Face your own weaknesses and your shame, and work on your "defects". 🏋️‍♂️

And at the same time, love people. Show them kindness.

And one will help the other.

🌹Beauty and the Beast is one of peoples favorite Disney movies.

Why do we like it?

Is it because you relate to the beast? That's why I love it.

Belle is beautiful because she can see the good man within the outer shell of the aggressive beast. 💛

And that's what all men want.

👀They want to be seen, and capable, and safe, while at the same time, still possessing the strength that was there.

If being loved requires you to deny the side of you that is dangerous, then you are completely broken. 💔

Men don't know how to do that because they aren't supposed to.

What most women find so attractive and enduring is the fact that their man CAN be dangerous, and they choose not to.

⚠️And when it comes to dire situations, there is gratitude that he is there and that he can be dangerous and protect and stand up for what is right.

So don't deny that side of you. Instead accept it, and be a good man.

🍿So what’s your favorite Disney movie?

👻Sometimes, the amount of agency we have can be daunting. 👻

In this world we have extreme opportunity and options. This can make it difficult to focus and stay in the lane that is best for you. 🚗

The answer to this overwhelm?

✋🏼Discipline.

What is discipline? To be and do what you say you're going to do.

When you have discipline, you increase your self-trust. 🛑 You can block out the options that won't be in your best interest, and use your agency for good.

🚦So it stands to reason, that one of the most important things you can do for yourself is become more disciplined.

👉What is one thing you are trying to be more disciplined in? 👈

Are you a chronic procrastinator?⏰

In life, doing the hard things now, first, makes everything else seem easier to do later.

🗑️Imagine how easy it would seem to take out the trash after you just cleaned the whole kitchen.

The opposite is also true. When you do the easier thing now, first, then the hard things become even harder.

📺Imagine how hard it would be to fold your laundry when you've just finished watching TV for the day.

So when we do the easy thing, procrastinating, it makes the hard thing, the task, even harder.

💪🏼For your own sake, stop procrastinating, and make your life easier.

What's something you are procrastinating right now?

We all have excuses.

🤷Maybe they exist for a good reason.

You have to assess your excuses, and the reasons behind them.

Doing this might make you nervous. 😬

That's because we are afraid that we don't have what it takes.

🏆This is a lie that we tell ourselves. You have the resources to achieve anything you want.

Remember your divine potential, and watch as your excuses begin to fade away.

👉What are some of your favorite excuses?

🏆If you're a workaholic, do you find yourself allowing your worth to become dependent on your achievements or outcomes?

As a society we have come to value outcomes far more than we value the effort it takes to achieve them. 💎
⁣
Your worth is not negotiable!

📈📉Failure or success at something has nothing to do with your worth.

You came to Earth with innate God-given worth that will never change, regardless of your successes and failures in life. ⁣👑

🔨So yes, hard work is a good thing, but consider why you are putting in the hard work.

Send this to your coworkers to remind them that they are infinitely worthy no matter what.⁣ 🤍

💪
