Confidence and Self-Confidence As An Empty-Nester
from Intelligent Intoxication · host Terri Bradway
Confidence requires proof or evidence. Think of something you do really well and have evidence that you’re good at. You’re “confident” that you can do this thing well. Self-Confidence does NOT require evidence. It is the commitment to yourself that regardless of what happens or what someone else says or does, you will have your own back. We have our back by: Sleeping/resting Eating well/hydrating Exercising Monitoring our stress levels and calming or energizing our bodies when needed. Saying NO when something doesn’t align with our value or when we aren’t willing or capable of meeting an expectation. Talking kindly to ourselves. I invite you to consider these questions: What evidence do you have that you’re going to thrive in a new stage? How willing are you to have your own back in this new stage? If you know you could use some support as you navigate the empty nest stage with both confidence and self-confidence, email me to schedule a complimentary happy hour call: [email protected] Thank you for investing your valuable time and energy into listening to the podcast.
