Never say NEVER.

It’s a limiting word because the moment we say “never,” it’s like we’re shutting down all possibilities. The truth is, we don’t know everything, and life can change in a second, as we’ve all realized over the last couple of years. So, when we say, “I could never do that,” or “I’ll […]

Never say never. It’s a limiting word because the moment we say “never,” it’s like we’re shutting down all possibilities. The truth is, we don’t know everything, and life can change in a second, as we’ve all realized over the last couple of years. So, when we say, “I could never do that,” or “I’ll never get that,” or “That will never be me,” what are we doing?

We’re closing the door instantly literally shutting it down in our body, our imagination, and even in the universe. So, remove the word “never” from your vocabulary when it comes to something you’d love to do. Just opening that door can lead to so many new and incredible possibilities.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Create a playlist of irresistible songs to sing and dance to. Here’s why: when they start playing, you can’t help but move to the music and start singing. And what does that do? It brings you into your body, takes you out of your head, and grounds you in the present moment. If it’s a song you love, it floods you with positive energy. You start singing, you start smiling, and this activates all the positive endorphins and chemicals in your system. You’re dancing, you’re moving, you’re free from worrisome thoughts, and you’re totally in the present moment.

The best part is, if you know in advance it’s a song you have to sing along to, you’ll have no option but to be in the present moment and love every minute of it. Feeling good in your body naturally feeds your confidence because it makes you feel comfortable in this beautiful physical vessel.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Say yes to new experiences. The more we embrace new opportunities, the more enriched, fulfilled, and colorful our life becomes. Naturally, this inspires, motivates, and uplifts us, making us feel better about ourselves and the life we live, as well as what we can contribute to others. When we just do the same thing day in and day out, life becomes boring, uninspiring, and stagnant.

We won’t generate new ideas if we’re always stuck in the same patterns, habits, and routines. So, say yes to things you would normally say no to and see what unfolds. This enriches our confidence because the more experiences we have to draw from, the more we discover about who we truly are.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Use power poses and make them super creative. The beautiful thing about our body is that in a second, our physiology can change our entire state. If I’m standing in a slouched position, I won’t feel very confident. But the moment I open my chest, lift my head higher, and start smiling boom! Hear me roar. Finding confident poses that allow you to instantly move into a confident mindset is key because our brain and body are connected. When we feel confident, our body sends signals to the brain, saying, ‘I’m confident, I’ve got this.’

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you!

Take breaks to give yourself space to come up with brand-new ideas. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, whether you’re writing your next book, creating a series of online videos, or preparing for a keynote presentation with extensive research and rehearsal. When we feel pressure, we often push ourselves to keep going without breaks. However, this just overwhelms our brain and prevents us from staying present, grounded, and connected to our body. Don’t feel guilty for taking breaks; the space you create allows new ideas to emerge, often better than you could have imagined.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Do things that enrich your confidence levels and bring you joy. If you don’t believe in what you’re doing, sharing, saying, or giving to the world, why would anyone else believe your message? A great way to build your self-belief and self-love is to engage in activities that nourish your spirit, bring you happiness, and pull you out of mental chatter into the present moment. For me, these activities include magic, painting, writing, nature, singing, and dancing. There’s so much on this list that helps me stay in the moment and enriches me with confidence. This, in turn, allows me to give more of myself to others and the world.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Stay flexible. This is crucial for our confidence because rigidity and fixed expectations can lead to stress when things change. If we tense up in response to these changes, we’ll radiate nervousness and stress, which can be off-putting and prevent us from delivering our message effectively. Additionally, if we’re destabilized by factors beyond our control, it undermines our confidence and keeps us in our heads rather than centered in our bodies. Always be willing to adapt, pivot, and embrace change, because that’s just part of life.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.

Record yourself on camera to boost your confidence. I know this can trigger thoughts like, “I don’t like how I look,” “I don’t like the sound of my voice,” or “I just don’t like filming altogether.” But you know what? Every time you do it, you’ll push through a small milestone and a fear barrier. No one needs to see the footage it can stay on your camera reel or be deleted immediately. The process of pushing record and seeing yourself on camera will become easier each time. When it comes to creating an important video or sharing a message you truly care about, you’ll be ready because there will be no more fear holding you back.

Stop focusing on your weaknesses and instead choose to focus on your strengths. It’s so easy for us to fall into the habit of focusing on what’s not right, what isn’t good enough, or what could be better. We’ve been conditioned to do this, and it’s almost like a default mode that we easily slip into. We need to snap out of that mindset and change our focus. Ask yourself: What am I amazing at? What’s really good? What achievement can I celebrate? What’s going amazingly well in my life right now? What’s in flow? The more we focus on these positive aspects, the more we’ll experience them.

As the saying goes, “Where focus goes, energy flows.” If we concentrate on the amazing things in our lives, we’ll naturally do more amazing things. This will build our confidence immensely because we’ll see ourselves accomplishing incredible things. And as we continue to achieve with more joy, love, confidence, and a higher vibration, we’ll attract even more positivity into our lives.

By the way, confidence looks amazing on you.
