A Pro Tip For Growing Your Self Confidence

I see you working hard on that self acceptance girl. If you’re feeling stuck or want a boost, here’s a tip.

Tell me if any variation of these scenarios feel familiar:

• Your fitness instructor just called you out in front of the whole class and made you feel incapable.

• Your boss just made you feel like you’re failing with that one subtle comment.

• Your barista just gave you a judgey ass look because of what you’re wearing.

• Your mom is being so critical of your life choices right now.
  

Yeah? Maybe? Cool.

Here’s a magic nugget for your consideration:

The areas where you feel you are being rejected, criticized or judged by others — anyone! — are precisely the places that you are rejecting or judging YOURSELF.

What YOU fully own, stand behind and compassionately accept about YOU can rarely get used against you.

In other words: You rejected that part of you FIRST— not your barista, boss or mom.

It’s all on you, babe.

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

So next time you feel like you just got side eyed, judged, made to feel less than, or flat out rejected in any way, ask yourself this:

How did I just judge/reject MYSELF here, and what can *I* do to be more accepting, loving or secure in this?

When you start to learn how to do this work for YASELF, there’s not much anyone can do to make you feel inferior. (Including, ironically, yourself).

And THAT is when the real freedom and power of self acceptance begins.
