10 Things Confident Women Should Refuse to Do
Confident women should refuse to do certain things. Why? Because their strengths lie in focusing on the right things and ignoring the wrong ones.\n\nConfident women do and think certain things, but they also avoid thinking and doing certain things. If you want to have more confidence, consider avoiding these things, too. It\u2019s easier to climb a mountain without carrying a rock. Drop the habits and other behaviors that burden your ability to feel confident.\n\nWithout these obstacles getting in your way, you\u2019ll create a new ceiling for your confidence. Make it as easy as possible to have confidence in yourself.\n\u200bRefuse to do these confidence-killing \u200bthings:\n\n\u200b1 \u200bEngage in Negative Self-Talk\n\n\u200bYou can\u2019t feel confident and say negative things to yourself. If you want to feel positive about yourself, it helps to have a positive inner dialogue. Negative thoughts drain away positive \u200benergy, including the positive feelings that come with confidence.\n\u200b2 \u200bComplain\n\n\u200bComplaining is insidious. It suggests that you can\u2019t fix the challenges in your life. Instead of complaining, work on a solution. Know in your heart that you can handle any challenge in your life and then do it without taking it to death.\n\u200b3 \u200bLet a Lack of Information \u200bBe a Show Stopper\n\n\u200bPeople that lack confidence need 100% certainty. Those that are confident can take action with far less than complete information. 70% is usually enough to get started. Be confident and get busy.\n\u200b4 \u200bRely on Luck\n\n\u200bLuck is for those without the confidence to take responsibility. Wish, hope, or pray all you like, but keep moving your feet. Confident people will take luck when they get it, but they don\u2019t rely on it. They know they will succeed without it.\n\u200b5 \u200bFocus on Other People\n\n\u200bBe confident that you have a good plan and are capable of executing it. Let everyone wonder what you\u2019re doing instead of worrying about what they\u2019re doing. If you are focusing on others who is focusing on your dreams and goals?\n\u200b6 \u200bApologize for Taking up Space\n\n\u200bShow up big, bold, colorful, confident, bad-a**, etc. Don't betray yourself by shrinking from your big moments. When you are feeling yourself, let it show. Let your walk, the way you stand, the seat you choose, etc. let the room know how you feel about yourself. Don't hunch, apologize, whisper or indicate that you don't want to make a fuss. SHOW UP.\n\u200b7 \u200bBe Overly Self-Critical\n\n\u200b\u200bWe are too good at criticizing ourselves. What if you remind yourself of your successes and keep self-criticism \u200bto a minimum? Be your own best friend and supporter.\n\u200b8 \u200bSeek Undue Attention\n\n\u200bConfident people don\u2019t need a lot of attention from others. If you\u2019re confident in yourself, you\u2019ll be too busy taking care of your business to worry about whether or not others are paying attention. Only those lacking in confidence need attention and approval.\n\u200b\u200b9 \u200bInvest Good Time with \u200bSaboteurs\n\n\u200bThere will be people who want to sabotage you. Don't give them the time \u200bor the place to do it. \u200bUnfortunately, there are a lot people in your life who don\u2019t want to see your success rise too far above their own. If you want to maximize your self-confidence, it\u2019s best to avoid these people as much as possible. I said they were in your life, not your circle.\n\u200b10 \u200bMake Excuses\n\n\u200b\u200bExcuses are a way for those without confidence to justify quitting. If you\u2019re confident, you don\u2019t look for excuses. You look for solutions and then implement them. If you catch yourself making excuses, ask yourself why you\u2019re doing it.\n\n\u200b\u200bHow confident are you? What would happen if you could become the most confident \u200bwoman you know? The difference in your life would be staggering.\n\nConfident \u200bwomen avoid certain things. If you want to be confident, it makes sense to avoid those same things. The question to ask yourself is 'How confident do you want to be?'.\n\nShow notes available at https://allegrasinclair.com/066
