DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. STOP CALLING LACK OF CONFIDENCE OR NEGATIVITY“ BEING REALISTIC.”
Call it what it is: being negative. Does a particular thought inhibit your greatest potential? Then it’ s poison. If I were working with you as your coach, I’ d tell you to enter inspired time. That means, don’ t drag in what you think is your past experience. Your“ past experience” may be tainted by negative interpretation. Let’ s begin again. Let’ s start now. No matter what’ s happened, let’ s give ourselves another chance. Focus on the possibilities that stir you, more than the ones that drain you. If something stirs you, it gives you strength.
It only takes one thought to make you start doubting yourself. And it can be a habit.
Lack of confidence can feel real. But it’ s just a way of thinking, and it can be changed. I teach A Course in Miracles, a spiritual mindset training about living in love instead of fear. So, I am in the business of helping people not only get out of negative thinking, but also stay in an inspired state of mind that can achieve anything. Mindset is the difference between those who succeed in life and those who struggle.
