Here is my problem today. Sometimes when overconfident, I find ways to discourage myself. I get depressed and don’t see why I should bother to rebuild myself or my esteem or why I should seek help doing that. Trying different ways of “following” behaviors of others, only to learn there were reasons I held my confidence close. Then I remind myself, an achievable goal is more productive than than something beyond my immediate reach.

I am a procrastinator, but hold onto my anxieties and fears only in small doses. Some people enjoy journaling in this regard. For me, writing is one of my least favorite things to do. I don’t care for journaling because I feel misunderstood with anything beyond a basic greeting or hand shake. If I do journal, I like to then transform a successful entry into something useful, productive or something nice to look at. That is the spark I love most. Whether that be a painting, a poem or sketch or other form of creative expression. Once done I get a feeling of accomplishment, thus building my own confidence in myself.

Timing is very important to me. Time alone is also very important to me. If your body says, today is not a day to stick your head in a book, maybe your body has a point. After all, we are all connected in mind, body and spirit. Another thing, I can’t read your mind, so stop asking me to. My own mind, I am comfortable with. If I can’t create, I read. If I can’t read, I practice yoga. If I can’t yoga, I nap. If I can’t nap, I bike or spin. If I can’t bike I go for a walk. Personally, my outlets all manage different stressors(what may also be called triggers or triggering events)and I know I can be dark (and I can also be a dork) about it. If I am not in a state of mind where I want to explore my interests, I take a walk, I talk with someone, I talk with my 11 year old pup, Ember, or I practice a simple task with confidence.

Your confidence is built within yourself and your own esteems. My priorities are to not let a minute of my life be taken from me and to be my own me. Everyday, I am my own example. Everyday, there is a you and there is a me. I am not forgiveness, but I practice forgiveness everyday and everyday I forgive myself too.

My advice on confidence is more or less this. Don’t take on anything you can’t handle on your own. That is how I feel today. So here I’ve answered my own questions on confidence. Only on days that I am not practicing do I still feel like I am better (only a little more or less moody) than and able to build myself up again. I believe in me.
