If you emulate the behaviours of confident people, you will help yourself to become confident.
~ Sam Owen
In each moment you are nurturing or damaging your relationship with yourself.
An external locus of identity is unhealthy and yet the very thing that social media encourages in those with low self-esteem.
Remembering our personal growth that resulted from negative life experiences makes new obstacles easier to embrace.
Building confidence comes from overcoming the voice in your head that says you are not capable silence the noise and then prove it wrong.
Arrogance based on relentless denial of faults eventually makes a person weary.
In a world of increasing fakery, genuine people are the sexiest.
Know your worth so you know when to say, “Yes”, and when to say, “Thank you but no thank you.
Confident people generally handle people with respect, compassion and integrity.
When you’re confident in what you have to say, you don’t need to add effect.
Introspection leads to insights, insights tell us what needs to change.
The long-term pain suffered by suppressing emotions is far greater than the short-term pain of confronting them.
Confident people tend to evaluate their opinions alongside those of others and then follow their intuition.
Being your authentic self exudes a quiet confidence.
Thoughts repeated over time, no matter how incorrect, become consolidated in our minds as beliefs because we’ve repeatedly affirmed them over and over again.
Healthy people learn how to frequently adjust their thoughts to make reality comfortable and realistic.
Our perspective equals our reality, tweak the perspective and you tweak your reality.
Embrace the anxiety of confronting your emotions because it’s often the emotional hitting of rock bottom that ignites our resolve to get back to the top.
Everyone feels depressed, angry or frustrated at times; it’s a crossroads not a dead end.
Depressed states can make us feel like we're constantly fighting against ourselves but we must engage in that fight for ourselves.
Life is a series of puzzles, all you have to do is solve the puzzles.
Always think in terms of solutions. Focusing on the problems usually gives us more of them.
Where you are now is the result of your previous overriding thoughts and actions. Tomorrow is still in the making so plant good seeds...
Modern day information overload stops us sufficiently engaging with our thoughts.
It takes effort and concern to really think about things.
What we do makes a difference and what we think about influences what we do.
Get in the driving seat of your thoughts. You control them and they absolutely control your life.
Our brains are like computers; it's our responsibility to programme them well, daily, and remove the viruses.
Via self-talk we give our mind instructions on what we expect of ourselves and so behave accordingly. Change the instructions and we change the outcomes.
Our emotions stem from our thoughts, redirect your thoughts to redirect your emotions.
Identifying body language changes connected with the conversation in hand gives us insights into their thoughts and emotions.
Confidence sometimes requires purposeful preparation and practice.
Confidence is subtle. Insecurity is brash.
Taking charge of our life reinforces our self-worth.
Confidence is not posting endless selfies, or repeatedly protesting how happy or in love we are, it’s a subtle yet noticeable sheen that emanates from our being - our eyes, our words, our body language.
Lack of ownership over your anger can incorrectly absolve you of all responsibility and so keep you stuck in the anger.
Trust yourself to be able to confront and work through your emotions. If you believe you can’t do it, you won’t do it and you’ll become stuck. If you believe you can do it, you will.
For intuitive people, it can be exhausting having to constantly manage other people’s emotional needs on personal social media accounts.
Negative emotional states are a breeding ground for mistakes.
