Episode 48: Circumstances The Confidence Catalyst

    • Society & Culture

There is a tendency to want to blame the circumstances for how we feel. 
"I'm offended because of what that person said to me"
"I'm angry because that person is judging me"
"I'm worried because there's a pandemic"
"I'm frustrated because I'm stuck in my house"
We think it's the "circumstances" fault and when we think this we're stuck and our confidence takes a huge dive. The truth iss that there are circumstances but those circumstances are neutral. They aren't good or bad until you interpret them as good or bad. This is empowering! This is a skill you can practice and master, seeing the circumstances AS NEUTRAL. Then you have power over how you want to see them! The more you do this, the more confident you'll feel!
