Just one little promise to yourself a day, or even a few a week is going to drastically, radically change how you feel about yourself. Because as you start keeping those promises, they become habits and you trust yourself to show up to the bigger things, to the scarier things. You trust your track record. Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And I want this to be your massive reminder that the only way to build confidence is to do challenging things and keep promises to yourself. So looking at where you are right now in your life, are you lacking confidence? Can you look back at your past week where maybe you haven't shown up for yourself? You haven't eaten healthy, you haven't done the things that make you feel good, you haven't gone to the gym like you've wanted to do, you haven't gone for that walk, you haven't called that friend that you said you would call. You haven't done the things that you've said you were going to do. Now, I don't want this to be a podcast about feeling like needing to add so much more to your plate. But it starts with one tiny baby promise to yourself that you show up for every single week. And when you do this, you build confidence and pride. It's like the exact reason why I can wake up in the morning and maybe not feel great about the day or about myself. But as I start to fulfill on these promises to myself, like going to the gym, eating something healthy, showing up to a call, sending an email that I don't want to do, all of these things are the things that let me know I can rely on myself, I can trust myself to get things done. And this is where a lot of people lack confidence, is that they don't trust themselves, they don't believe they're the people who can get things done. Because they've never started with those small promises and been able to keep them. It's not that I don't ever break them. It's not that I don't ever come through on them. It's that more times than not I'm going to show up. Because I know that this is where my true confidence and pride and just knowing, like believing in my ability and it starts with one thing. There was a time where my personal mantra was literally, I never finish anything. I said this in my head all the time. I had never finished anything. I didn't finish high school, I'd never finished a project I started. And I knew just like deep down in my soul, exercise was calling me to be consistent with it. I needed something that made me not only feel good, feel better, but help my mood and anxiety.

But.

But I needed something that I could prove to myself I could show up for. And I didn't start all at once. I remember marking on my calendar, like the days that I would go for a walk or go exercise or go rollerblading and I would just put a little E on those days on the calendar. And I remember it took me a while to get a calendar that I felt really proud of, but three months later, I had little E's in majority of the days. And I can tell you that that is one of the first times that I start to rem realizing that I could rely on myself to show up to the hard things. It doesn't mean that you're going to show up and you're going to win or you're going to show up and it's going to be easier. You're going to show up and you're going to be good at it. All that matters is that you are showing up.

Look, when I'm traveling, I'm always just a little bit stressed about how my.

Husband is going to critique the amount.

Of luggage that I have packed or the things that I have tried to cram into my suitcase. But with base, there's literally room for everything. Even if you're a massive over packer like me.

Side, all that matters is that you are showing up. Even that builds belief in yourself. Even that is building confidence behind the scenes. Even that is showing that you can rely on you. But when we don't have those feelings about ourself, that is when we feel very lost in the world. That is when we do not feel grounded. That's when we don't put ourselves in situations with opportunities or rooms with bigger conversations or the places where these people who have already proven to themselves that they show up. We don't put ourselves in those situations because we don't even trust ourselves to show up to it and be in them. Because we don't trust what we're going to do or say and we don't trust our follow through. And we know that those rooms and those people and those conversations that we want to be with require that we know that their expectation is to be with people who show up and follow through. So this is the best way to do it. Is to pick one thing, just put your 30 day calendar in front of you and see how many little check marks for that thing that you can accumulate. How many little check marks for that thing can you accumulate? So what is going to make you feel good about yourself? What is going to make you feel proud of yourself and you guys?
