Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 158
Title: The One
Tactic To Boost Your Confidence
Quite a number of people
lack confidence in themselves and that has been responsible for the many
failures recorded in human history both of men and women.
Those who are less self-confident suffer a lot from
indecisiveness; they are unable to make quick choices, unable to actually know
what they want, unable to even verbalize their thoughts. Most of the time, they
are door mats, sponging in whatever dirt and liquid that is thrown at them.
They think they have all
the time in the world not realizing that time is a perishable commodity which
is either used when appropriate or wasted inappropriately.
“One day you
will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always
wanted…Do it now.” –Paulo
Coelho
When it comes to making
decisions, do you tend to hesitate or take immediate action?
Do you find yourself
second-guessing everything? wanting a no fail proof become you can commit?
Do you find yourself
needing assurances or making assurance doubly sure before making up your mind
to decide?
If you live in analysis
paralysis mode, you’re not alone.
Indecisiveness is certainly
your companion if you take more than 10 minutes to decide on what to have for
breakfast or lunch or supper; also you have an issue with self confidence if
you talk to yourself most of the time in your head playing out all the possible
scenarios, but quite unable to talk to your partner or friend in order to
communicate your thoughts
In all seriousness, it’s
exhausting when you don’t know what you want.
But thanks to this tactic
I am about to introduce to you right away, you can beat indecisiveness.
As a young person growing
up, I wasn't really that quite decisive
but as I grew older, thankfully, I’ve become more decisive.
How did I do it? By
developing my confidence. I stopped hesitating and started taking action.
About thirty five years
ago, I hit a breaking point. I was tired of caring so much, wasting emotional
energy on all the wrong people and holding back what I really wanted to say. I
resented myself for being the one thing I hate most in other people:
inauthentic.
Everything
changed for me when I started focusing less on impressing other people, and
more on connecting with them.
And trust me when I tell
you – it is SO liberating when you can make this mental shift.
Not only will you start
feeling more confident in yourself, but you will also start attracting the
right people into your life.
There are a lot of
misconceptions surrounding confidence, what it means and how to get it.
First of all, confidence is not a
personality trait; it’s a skill, and one you can strengthen with practice.
The
Power of the 5-Second Rule
Our minds are designed to
protect us from doing things that are new, scary and uncertain.
This is the real reason
why change is so hard; our brains are wired for short-term satisfaction, and
have a difficult time processing long-term gain.
As a result, we overthink
and doubt ourselves.
The good news, however, is
that you can outsmart your brain with the 5-second rule.
The way it works is
simple.
“If you have an impulse to
act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will
kill the idea,” says Mel Robbins, motivational speaker and author of The 5-Second Rule.
Research shows you have five seconds until your brain
takes over and the self-doubt starts creeping in. You have five seconds to get back
in the driver’s seat. The second you start hesitating, you’ve already lost and
your brain starts working against you.
To put
it simply, stop waiting. Start doing. Replace your habit of hesitation with a
habit of taking action.
Practice this daily with
the decisions you make and you will start to develop core confidence.
This means the next time
you’re in a meeting and have a great idea, speak up, even if people scoff on
your idea, they ain't gonna eat you for lunch.
The next time you see a
cute guy or girl in a coffee shop, smile and say hello; he or she won't bite
you.
The next time you have to
choose whether to take the tube or the cab, don't spend more than 5 seconds or
your default setting would take over
Over time, fear and
self-doubt will no longer be your default.
You will learn to trust
your instincts and believe in yourself.
That one tactic you can
use to boost your confidence is Stop Waiting, Start Doing
You gat it?
then go do it
