Are you Confident? Do you lack Confidence?

💡Pretty confident if you lack #confidence, or heaven forbid you've been TOLD you lack confidence, then this is for you.

🤔 How you think about it matters a great deal in practice in how you experience situations, environments and decision making.

🧠 Have a think about separating your competencies from your thoughts and beliefs.

🧰 Muddying the two can diminish the skills, experience and knowledge you do have to draw upon.

💪Your external behaviours might not model what someone else thinks confidence look like - doesn't mean you aren't.

✔️ Knowing where there is a gap is how you build confidence by figuring out how to fill it - seeing what resources you have to draw upon to get the job done.

🙈 There are plenty of incompetent overly confident folks out there and environmental and systemic factors that have a role to play too - are you accounting for those correctly?

🎒 We can carry things that aren't ours which impact our self concept.

🪞Don't go comparing yourself to others or worrying about what someone else so called 'confidence' looks like.

⛔️ You do NOT want to be doing is wandering around with a lack of self belief.

🍬 The sweet spot is the place you land on where you can can appropriately appraise the necessary competencies in your self, others and environment. Have a healthy concept of the self and trust in you.
