Got Confidence?

Got Confidence? 

Have you ever wished you had more confidence?

 Have you ever known anyone who didn't? 

 I know confidence is a concept that seemed to allude me.  The more I chased it the less I seemed to have.  

 What I didn't know was what true confidence is:  

 Confidence is the willingness to feel any emotion.  

 What?!

 When I decide to get my Certification as a life coach,  I knew it was going to require hard work, effort, dedication, discomfort and a host of many other emotions that I don't particularly enjoy feeling. 

 What I didn't know is that when I honored my goal in every little step, the inedible byproduct was confidence.  

  Here are the simple steps:

 1) Decide on a goal.  Start small.  It could be making your bed every morning for a week.

 2) Honor that goal.  Follow through no matter what.

 3) Recognize your accomplishment, every-time.  

 Simple, yes - Easy, sometimes yes, sometimes, no.

 This is what happens in our brain when we follow these steps.  

 First, we make a decision what we are going to think as it applies to something we want to accomplish.  This creates the feelings of determination, which leads to actions, which leads to results.  The bed is made! AHH

 Second, on the days we try to talk ourselves out of following through, we have to option of choosing to honor our commitment to ourselves, and do it anyway. 

 It is on the hard days that the magic happens.  The message we send to ourselves is that "I do matter", "I am capable", "I do care to improve" .  How do we do this?  By choosing thoughts, also knows as making decisions, that move me in the direction of my goals - even if I would rather not.  

 Take a minute to recognize the accomplishment.  Look at how nice that bed looks!  You did it!

Every time we navigate with our mind and through our emotions, we prove to ourselves that we can accomplish anything even if it feels scary, or uncomfortable, or hard. Recognize it.  

 You've probably heard the quote,  "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway."

I recommend these thoughts, too:
"Feel the Blah and Do It Anyway," 
"Feel the Unpleasant and Do It Anyway,"
"Feel the Discomfort and Do It Anyway,"

 What will you get?  More and more confidence (and a tidy bed, or a slimmer waist-line, or Coaches Certification 😃)

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
