Hi Everyone
Welcome to the new addition to the Phenomenal Woman series. It’s been a busy a period for me and I’m excited to share developments. I have more great interviews lined up but the one thing my listeners keep asking for is more information on how to handle situations such confidence building, impostor syndrome, staying motivated, building resilience and the like, so I’ll be introducing a new element to Phenomenal Woman – Real Talk!
Each week I’ll be sharing tips on how to tackle various topics as requested by you to help navigate your own success journey. So once you’ve listened and enjoyed Real Talk be sure to share it with all the Phenomenal Women you know. If there are any topics you’d like me to cover, feel to let me know either by commenting on any of the shows, emailing me at info@janicesutherland.com or via FB – iamjanicesutherland, instagram – therealtalkist, twitter - therealtalkist
- For those of you who’d like a little help increasing your confidence – maybe you have a big interview coming up, need to tackle a challenging conversation, or generally just want to improve your overall confidence – I have the prefect antedote – join my Confidence Booster Challenge starting 14th February – yes I know that Valentines Day but who’s going to love you more than you?
- Join the challenge via my FB page – iamjanicesutherland to gain tips and fun challenges to boost your confidence. It’ll be better than any box of chocolates or bunch of flowers – I promise
- Confidence plays a key factor on how many of my interviewees have approached their life goals and each have pretty much said they’ve had to work on their confidence and that it’s pretty much always a work in progress.
- However, when we lack confidence or self-doubt it really stops us from pursuing what we really want be that a new career, a promotion or relationship, so I thought for my first episode of Real Talk I’d focus on confidence and as it’s the month of love we’d focus on learning to love ourselves.
- The first step is to realize that you have confidence within you, even if it has been hiding for a while you just have to reinforce it. Deciding that you want to retain and focus on your self-confidence is the next one. For many who live with self-doubt, or are in challenging situations, believing that we are even capable of feeling confident can seem difficult.
- If you are feeling this way, find some quiet reflection time to help you see that somewhere inside you lies a confident thought or two. And that is all you need to get to the next level
- A little exercise is to think back to a time when you felt good about yourself and your life. These are confident memories, and we all know that if you’ve done it before, you can do it again.
- Reflecting on past successes and allowing yourself to feel the positive emotions connected with them will help you create a greater ability to tap in to your confidence, because you aren’t just wishing and hoping; you are seeing that you really have been (and can be) a more self-confident person.
- Confidence isn’t about taking over the world; it is about enjoying your world as much as possible. It doesn’t take much, and you do have it inside your heart and soul, so take a little time and look for it. I think you will be more than pleased with yourself by what you find.
A few Confidence Boosters
When things get out of control and you momentarily lose your confidence, there are any number of little things you can do to regain it. Here are a few tools to help get you started.
- Wash your hands and face, and brush your teeth. It cools your body, which is relaxing, and gives you that “fresh start” feeling.
- Look at any diploma or certificate of achievement you have. And if it isn’t framed and on the wall, do it now. These are reminders of your accomplishments, and taking in your success is important to maintaining your confidence.
- Remember your last (or greatest) success and think about it for 60 seconds. Taking in your success as often as possible will help you reach another and another. Quite simply, it reminds you that, because you have done it before, you can do it again.
- Give yourself a facial, a manicure, pedicure, restyle your hair. It’s another refresher and in addition, when we know we are looking our best, we are naturally more confident.
- Know you are the person your kids, significant other or other loved ones think you are. Knowing that you are unconditionally loved can’t help but make you feel good about yourself.
- Cook a lovely meal. Even if you are by yourself, preparing a tasty dinner, setting the table, and treating yourself to a wonderful culinary experience will lift your spirits. Sharing it with someone you love and/or respect will make it even more nurturing.
- Look around you, remember where you started and know that everything you see, you created.
We can all lose our feelings of self worth, especially when something goes wrong. The real truth is that, if you have done it before, you can do it again. No matter what.
None of these tasks has to be uncomfortable, and won’t take you much time. Finding ways to give yourself a little boost when you’re not feeling at the top of your game is a trick that truly confident people use on a regular basis.
- Remember if you would like some support to increase your confidence join the Confidence Booster Challenge starting 14th February – on my FB page – iamjanicesutherland to gain tips and join fun challenges.
I hope you enjoyed the show and would love to hear your feedback! If you enjoy what I share in this episode, please leave a review and comment on iTunes. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
