If you lack confidence, it is a vicious circle.
You lack confidence so you don't do “the thing” and because you haven't done “the thing”, your confidence doesn't grow.
Remember:
It's like learning to swim by just reading a book.
You have to jump in the water. You don't have to jump in the deep end. Don't jump in the deep end because you may traumatize yourself.
Jump in the shallow end. Just tinkle your toes in a little bit of water. Just get a little bit wet and then run out. Put your clothes on and go home.
If you do those little things and then keep practicing more and more and more. Until then you're diving off a hundred foot diving board.
If you don't and you just learn, learn, learn, you're going to reinforce the belief that you can't do it and you’ll think confidence is just for other people.
You're going to stay stuck.
You will become overwhelmed with information. There are so many things that are on your reading list that you can listen to, watch, and consume.
Sometimes that information isn't helpful and isn't important.
You'll just read this book, read this blog post and save loads of bookmarks of things that you need to do.
The thing you should do is TAKE AN ACTION.
When you do take action, it's going to automatically build confidence if you do it in the right way.
Remember, don't jump into the deep end because you could scare yourself. Just a little tinkle of your toes over the water.
That's going to build confidence and you'll gather momentum.
You can still have that reading list of the hundred things that you need to read, but also you can be doing “the things” and experience freedom.
You will learn that if you’re gently with yourself you can actually do scary things.
You didn't die when you wore that dress.
You didn't die when you wore a sleeveless top.
You didn't die when you looked at your body in the mirror.
You survived and can do it again and do even more incredible things!
