72: Create the Confidence You Crave

Creating confidence is something that comes with practice, experience, and well, faking it. That whole “fake it till you make it” concept – it’s true. Although, I like to say, “fake it till you become it.”    Sometimes you have to try on a new and improved version of yourself to see how it fits. From there, you can tweak, evolve and grow into the person you want to be. Practicing is critical. Without practicing being the new, confident, self assured you, you will NOT become the new confident, self assured you. So, get out there and try her on for size.    It’s ok to strive to be the person you truly want to be. It might feel a little awkward at first. Others might wonder what’s going on. That’s ok. Just keep being the you YOU truly want to be. You will grow in to the role. Your life and landscape will evolve with you, which is fabulous.    Know there will be uncomfortable moments. Anticipate them, prepare for them, own them.    As you start to behave more confidently, you will actually become more confident.  Then others will see you as more confident, and you will, in turn, continue to carry yourself more confidently.
