This is stopping you from taking your life seriously

Before we get into tips on how to gain confidence, we have to cover one really basic premise - how to take your life seriously?? 🔑

Not taking your life seriously means procrastinating.🕒

That includes procrastinating on anything- learning something you’ve always wanted to learn, starting a new job, studying, writing an e-mail, getting ready on time… anything that you could do right now, but are postponing.

It could also mean engaging in activities you know are no good (or are even harmful) for you or your goals, but are engaging in them anyway for a cheap dopamine hit. 💊

procrastinating = not taking yourself seriously

But I take myself seriously. I am literally stressed all the time because I care so much.

Oh yeah? Then why don’t you just do it? 🤨

I’m calling you out and I don’t care.

I’ll even tell you why you’re doing what you’re doing.

It’s because, deep down, you don’t believe you deserve good things. You are not confident enough to act like the main character of your life. 🎬

Because let’s be real - you know how to do it. You know the steps. You’re just not doing it.

Think about it. Let’s say your life dream is to become a rocket scientist, okay?

You love space, you love science and think it would be the coolest thing ever to send a rocket into space.

The most logical thing to do in that case would be to act like a rocket scientist would. Learn about space, study math, educate yourself and work on things that will slowly but surely bring you closer to your goal. 📚

On the opposite, the worst thing you could do is daydream about it for a bit, spend your days scrolling on TikTok and eventually give up on your dream because it’s ‘‘not attainable’’ and math is hard. 💃

That would be such a sad story.

There are so many fantastic life stories you could live, but if you don’t think they’re possible for you they all end up the same - with nothing.

For you to start taking steps toward your dream, you have to believe you’re good enough for it. 💎

That, of course, doesn’t mean you are competent for the rocket scientist job right now, but you know that you’re good enough to eventually acquire the skills.

That’s the real reason why confidence is so important.

It enables you to take yourself seriously and do the things that improve your life and, subsequently, the lives of everyone else.

So, in the next newsletter, we will be discussing some actual tips on how to gain confidence. 🌟

Stay glowing and growing,
