Increase Your Confidence to Stay Calm

 I follow the philosophy of the Indian Proverb A House With Four Rooms by doing something daily for my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Living this Intentional Lifestyle allows  a strong foundation for being in control so that you can choose how to respond in any given situation. One way to live intentionally is to learn how to stay calm which increases your confidence. When you are confident, you know whatever you are doing is the right thing to do. It is only natural that you will be calm when that happens.

People can learn how to be confident. It does take a bit of out-of-the-box thinking, but, once you take the steps, you will be happy you did. It does, however, require a commitment on your part. That is not always easy for people to accept. Sometimes, they start out with high energy but then the effort to become confident fizzles out.

This is where a program like Achieve with UNLIMITED Laser Coaching can help...take the first step to learning more confidence and self-love by getting your UNLIMITED Laser Coaching session.

A large part of success with confidence is your attitude. If you are a negative thinker, you will have a difficult time being confident. This difficulty makes sense since negative thinking will cause anxiety which may lead to panic in situations where you should be calm.

Affirmations are a great way to turn your negative thinking around. You need to constantly tell yourself that you are a good person and that you are confident. It also helps to focus on a particular area where you want to increase your confidence. For instance, if you are not assertive at work, start telling yourself that you are an assertive person. Continue this until you strike up the courage to be assertive. Then, it becomes easier once you break the barrier.

Confidence is about conviction and belief. If you believe what you are doing is the correct plan of action, you have a better chance of achieving what you want. It also requires a leap of faith to help you when parts of your plan don’t pan out as hoped. Just keep your eye on the prize, knowing that you will eventually get there. Confidence will help you significantly in achieving any plan.

An unintended consequence (positive) of your confidence is that it can help others stay calm. When they see that you have the situation under control, they should relax. If they don’t, you can be the one to help them through it. They will appreciate you for taking action.

We are all bombarded daily with negativity. The news channels broadcast a constant barrage of negative news. Your coworkers are complaining about the boss or the company. You may even have family members who can’t seem to cope with situations. However, when you learn to be confident, you can tune much of this out, and this by itself can be calming.

How calm are you? 

Until next time...
