Thanks for joining me out on the deck this morning. Some days I feel like my vlogs are a visit with friends. Today it feels like that, and I am talking about the idea of confidence. How do we become confident? Where does it come from?
There is a whole lot that we can unpack from the idea of confidence. This is something that I think about has a husband and a dad. How do I help Stacie D to stay or become even more confident in her self and her abilities. How do I teach my kids to be confident individuals that can just grab life by the horns?
I think that our confidence comes from our self image. I'm not talking about how we look in our speedo or bikini, but the self image on the inside. How do we see ourselves. Maybe there is a ninja thought that is buried deep inside us that keeps us from doing certain things. Maybe there is a ninja thought that we can't even remember that happened when we were just kids, and it makes us feel like we can do anything.
Are we genetically hardwired to be who we are? Do we come out of the womb ready to bang. Is it something that our parents teach us. When babies start to roll over, crawl, or walk,...is it all of the clapping and cheering that builds it up?
When it comes to life and this current experience, I believe that we have a connection between our mind (who we are) and the meat suit that we are driving around (what we are). So does our confidence come from who we are or what we are?
As someone that would fall under the category of being an empath, not to put myself in a box, but people with low energy are drawn to me. I encounter people that have some real struggles, and more than anything they are not confident. So I think about how I can possible impact someone. Is it as simple as using kind words and reenforcing positive actions? Or is it possible that they are battling those ninja thoughts, and actually need to talk through some deep issues?
There is a whole lot of depth to this idea, and I love thinking about how the human mind words. As you are watching the video or reading these words, I hope you are thinking about it also. I hope you are feeling encouraged to challenge something that you think you know, and are looking at life a bit deeper.
Thanks again for joining me for a visit this morning. Sometimes my vlogs aren't always splitting the universe open, but sometimes they are about small things that are just as important!
Be well
