You will be answering many questions as you move through the confidence-building community workbook.     

If you have completed section 1, let's continue...

CLOSING THE GAP

We will continue with two seemingly simple questions, which I will briefly answer in bullet points. These two questions will prime you for the journey we will be taking together.    

1. How did I get here? (the identity of one who lacks confidence/not the CEO of my life)    

  • unhealthy influences (inaccurate information and negative conditioning)    
  • tentativeness about innate abilities/preferences/desires   
  • sensitivity/vulnerability to external messaging (beliefs, expectations of others, meaning we learn to assign to circumstances)    
  • lack of clarity about appropriate short and long-range goals   
  • inconsistent efforts that do not respect the learning needs of the primitive robotic mind   
  • settling/complacency born out of frustration and a perceived lack of progress    

 2. How do I get there? (belief in self/self-confidence/the CEO of my lie)    

  • positive influences (accurate information and positive conditioning)    
  • awareness of innate abilities and boldness in acquiring new tools    
  • sensitivity to the internal environment (awareness of unique needs, desires,& helpful meaning assigned to circumstances)    
  • clarity about appropriate short and long-range goals   
  • consistent efforts that respect the learning needs of the primitive robotic mind 
  • willingness to be curious and experiment
