In this weeks episode I share with you the 3 Steps that can help you build more confidence and start moving out of the anxious-shit-storm-cycle.I think we can overcomplicate things when we have anxiety playing a part in our lives, or when we lack self-belief. We allow the outside world to take a hold We allow comparisonitis to take a hold We crave validation as a 'check-in' to make sure we are actually doing shit right. But what we forget is that we are all so different With different skills, personalities, upbringings, environments, different levels of support, We forget how bloody unique we each are And this is where we should be focussing our energy, time and learning.We need to focus on our uniqueness in order to build more confidence. The ONLY way is this way. If we focus on comparing with the outside world, we won't build confidence, because we would be trying someone elses version on. Looking at the outside world is important but important for one thing. And that is inspiration & to remind you to get curious.Turn your comparison into inspiration But focus your ENERGY & TIME on - Education/Training on learning YOU- Trial & error on learning what works well for YOU- Repeating over and over until you feel a 'fuck yeah'- Use YOUR passion/determination in your learning to not ever give upDownload your FREE Value-Packed Resource to get you get startedGRAB YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD HEREhttps://theanxietyproject.com.au/from-anxious-to-more-confidence/EnjoyBig loveLouxNEED SUPPORT?
