I'm so glad you're here. So what we're talking about today.
Is that confidence is built one moment at a time. It is not this, oh, you're born with it or you're not. It's not this one pivotal, at least it wasn't for me on my journey.
What’s the first big decision that sparked my confidence journey?
It's not one pivotal moment. It is one decision at a time. One decision at a time. Okay, so I remember really struggling. Really struggling. There's like a specific moment in grad school that I always come back to where I was finishing an exam and I needed to walk my exam up to the front. There was like a desk up at the front, teachers sitting up there, and you need to go and submit, you know, just set the paper up at that table and then you can go. The anxiety, the insecurity, the worry, the oh my gosh, sweating, butterflies, sweaty armpits, like all of the things that happen. In that moment leading up to I just need to go walk and possibly be up in front of people for a minute and I'm worried I'm gonna trip on something.
I'm worried I my zippers down. I'm worried I have toilet paper on my shoe and I hadn't gone to the bathroom in hours, you know? Like just so many thoughts and insecurities and things flying around in my brain. Just so much worry. There was just so much worry in that moment. And like that is that is what I flash to when I imagine what I used to struggle with is that moment in grad school. And that was in my mid like early mid-20s. And when I think about how I slowly built my confidence over the coming years, and really it's like over the last ten years, it was one decision at a time. It was well, okay, there was one big decision actually, if we're being really honest. One big decision of I want I want things to be different.
Лик адитін пере I'm I'm over it. I'm over it. I wanna show up differently. That's the really one big decision. That's the one big moment.
Why does confidence grow one decision at a time, not all at once?
And then the rest are one little moment at a time. Right. So I imagine with the gym. It's like, okay, I'm deciding that I'm gonna start being more active and I'm gonna start working out, right? That's the one big decision. And then it's a lot of little decisions along the way of showing up, going to the gym, going to the gym, going to the gym, right? It's the same thing. And I remember getting to a point where I was like, Dude, I like this, I'm This isn't how I want to show up in my life. This is not how I want to show up in my life. I felt like I was scratching the surface of who I actually was here to be, what was actually possible for my life, like scratching the surface. I was like, I'm done. I'm good.
I'm good on this.
