Finding Confidence in the Face of Storms: A Work in Progress ✨

There’s this image we have of confidence – a bold stance, unwavering eyes, a smile that says “I’ve got this.” And while that’s a beautiful portrayal, let’s be honest: sometimes, confidence feels more like a flickering candle in a hurricane. ️

This piece, “Confident,” isn’t about pretending the storm isn’t there. It’s about acknowledging the wind whipping at our hair, the rain blurring our vision, and still choosing to believe in the light within.

Here’s the truth about confidence in adversity:

• It’s not about feeling invincible. It’s about acknowledging fear and choosing to move forward anyway.
• It’s not a destination, it’s a journey. There will be setbacks, but each one can be a stepping stone.
• It’s not about going it alone. Find your tribe, the people who believe in you even when you doubt yourself.

**So, how do we fan the flames of that inner fire? **

• Identify your strengths. What are you good at? What makes you unique? Write it down, shout it out, own it!
• Celebrate small wins. Every step forward, no matter how tiny, is a victory.
• Practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself, especially on tough days. You’re human, and that’s okay.
• Seek inspiration. Surround yourself with stories of resilience, courage, and triumph.
• Take action, even when you’re scared. The best way to build confidence is to do the things that scare you.

Remember, confidence isn’t a magic switch you can flip on and off. It’s a muscle that needs to be exercised, a flame that needs to be nurtured. ✨
