Success for 2014: How to grow your inner confidence

Hello Theo,

I hope you are enjoying the summer months and the warmer weather. I've been visiting gardens and flowers shows, hoping I can improve my gardening knowledge and skills!

Many of us can experience moments of self doubt and lack of confidence in our work, which can impact us in different ways, from missed opportunities to lack growth.

The good thing is, whatever our level of confidence in the past, we can change our thoughts, beliefs and behaviours going forward.

Confidence is about having faith in yourself and your ability to achieve despite any obstacles.

When you trust yourself and your decisions you are more likely to bounce back from mistakes, take risks and try new things.

Here are a few tips which have helped me to grow my inner confidence….

~ Focus on positive outcomes and confidently expect the best. Instead of imagining all the things that could go wrong and how it won’t work, get excited about the possibilities and opportunities.

~ How you talk to yourself matters, as it impacts your identity and self-image. I like to use statements that support my value and self-worth, for example ‘I don’t seek outside approval, I approve of myself”, ‘I am capable of finding solutions and overcoming difficult obstacles’

~ Do more of what you love. Last year I committed time, money and resources to learning photography. Initially, I was worried about sharing my photos with a group of experienced photographers, but I’m so glad I did as it helped me develop my skills, knowledge and self esteem in a supportive community.

~ Surround yourself with others who are willing to get out the of the comfort zone. And spend time with people who encourage, elevate and inspire you.

~ Imagine what a difference having greater inner confidence could make to your work, your relationships and your finances!

Would you…

~ Be more visible by showing up, having a voice and expressing yourself?

~ Listen to your own inner guidance and not be overly influenced by other’s opinions and expectations?

~ Raise your fees, organise events or write a book?
