Learning that I CAN and reflecting on the fact that I DID

 This time last year I shared with you all this personal blog – Confidence My Story

I reflected on my journey back to the confident me I always knew I was and how I built up my own self-belief by discovering my superpowers.  

A year down the line I can safely say this is still so real for me. There are moments – and always will be – where self-doubt strikes me down. Especially as I’m running my own business…. Questions like;

·      Did people like that sequence

·      Do they even want to come to class

·      Is this the right class time, day, space

·      Did I explain that well

·      Did that sentence make sense

·      Did I create the environment for them I intended too

Etc etc ….

But I know that I CAN, because well I DID.

Holding Space for my full Yoga Retreat Day

I started my own business, I’ve built a beautiful community of yogis, I created a life I love, I built friendships that light me up, I learn new things, I have hobbies that bring me joy.

Superpowers

I focussed on my superpowers, remembered what makes me unique and even though the self-doubt was there…. I said “f**k it” and did it anyway!!!

Because small actions, create outcomes that build trust in yourself and your abilities. Proving over and over that you have your own back and you really can do it. You can believe in yourself.

Embracing my confident queen energy!!

 Reframing thoughts

I remember sitting with my therapist and saying “I’m not good at the commercial side of my job” …. Lies!! I was actually one of the best in the team at the commercial side of my job – but somewhere along the way I’d been convinced that wasn’t true. NOW I know it wasn’t true as running my own business means you need a considerable amount of commercial sense!

Once I started to reframe my thoughts ….from ‘I’m not good at this’ to ‘I am good at this’ that self-belief started to come back. It’s slow and it’s a journey but it does reappear.

I still use these techniques – focusing on my superpowers and reframing my thoughts whenever I feel that nasty little voice in my head telling me I can’t. I’m calling her Regina George and I soon shut her up! Haha
