Do you feel like you’re stuck in this perpetual cycle that’s dominated by self-doubt? Low self confidence has a way of sneaking in and stealing the spotlight, and thankfully it’s not permanent, and you’re not broken. Let’s call out these little habits that may be keeping you stuck, so you can finally step into that awesome power of yours!
Avoiding Risks
If you’ve ever avoided taking a risk or turned down an opportunity faster than you decline a telemarketer’s call, low confidence might be pulling the strings. It keeps you in a “safe zone” that’s not safe—it’s just small and stagnant. But here’s the truth: Your potential lives outside that box, and it’s time to step out.
The Comparison Trap
Scrolling through social media and thinking, “Why does she have it all together?” Here’s the truth: She doesn’t. Comparing yourself to others is a confidence killer. Your journey is yours, and trying to live someone else’s story is like squeezing into a gorgeous pair of shoes that’s two sizes too small—uncomfortable and totally unnecessary!
Struggling to Speak Up
Have you got something to say but find yourself swallowing the words instead? Low confidence thrives on keeping you quiet. But here’s the thing: Your voice matters. Whether it’s sharing an idea at work or saying no to something that doesn’t serve you, it’s time to speak up and own your power.
Overthinking Everything
Should you send that text? Wear that dress? Did you say something weird three weeks ago that someone’s probably forgotten? Overthinking is low confidence’s favourite game. The thing is, most of the things you’re overanalysing don’t even matter. Trust yourself—you’re doing great.
Seeking Constant Validation
Are you waiting for someone to give you a gold star before you feel good about yourself? Validation is great, but relying on others for it? That’s a confidence trap. Start cheering for yourself like you would for your best friend, and watch how things change. You may be surprised!
Feeling Unworthy of the Good Stuff
Low confidence loves to convince you that you’re not good enough for success, happiness, or the life you want. It’s lying. You are worthy—of the big wins, the small joys, and everything in between. The sooner you believe that, the sooner the good stuff will start showing up.
It Is Time To Step Into Your Power!
Low confidence has had its fun, but it’s time to show it the door. You’ve got what it takes to take risks, stop overthinking, and create a life you love.
