    Ep. 15: Confidence Part 2 Weird is Good Embrace our weirdness.Take inventory of what we do that is unique. Be detailedWeird should not get labeled personally as a stigma, but a strength.Weird usually brings new ideas and creativity to the world.Things that remain the same or fit the mold don’t move the world forward.A band you like that eventually everyone falls for. Those that shame “weird” actions often times lack confidence and creativity They don’t want change and have significant interest in things remaining the same.How the world currently works for them.They may be threatened by change To Embrace the Weird, We Must Build Our Confidence It increases as a result of our experiences.Stepping into the void and practicingAchieving mini wins & milestonesProgress is progress Those that have joy & those who struggle to find it The Joy-us The Joyus find the process to be life givingThey reflect back on the journeyThey are grateful for each experienceThey feel as if they have lived and are grateful for itHardship is part of it (I’m Still Standing by Elton John)This approach helps confidence to row and manifestThey know that the hard times are part of the overall equation that ultimately creaes the next better version of them.Lean into courage. I will go. I will move forward. Send me mentality The Strugglers  Those who struggle to find joy only concentrate on the end product.Good will only come if I am able to complete it.The process is viewed as a struggle and their is a narrow view of its actual harvest True healthy confidence is hard to obtain with this state of mindHard to establish consistency because the confidence is always being undermined by the hardships. Can You Be Both? Some aspects of my life I’m in the Joy-us state of mind. Some areas I struggleIt is a battle between the light and darkness.I fight for the light. I fight for life. Lean into the Joy-us and establish internal and external triggers that return you to it when struggling. The Joy-us Athlete What does it look like to be a joyus athlete?Find a role an embrace itStop comparing your role to those that are further down the road than you.Small seat at the table “Confidence is not knowing you have the ability to do something, but know you will try to do it.” Rob BellCheck out additional content at Youniversalife.com The best way you can support the show is to follow us on Spotify and Apply Podcast then leave a review.
