Want Magnetic Confidence? Stop Doing This
For true confidence to arise
Nothing needs to be added
True confidence simply IS
It doesn’t need anything to be
Yet doubts block confidence
Keeping it hidden - tucked away
Remove the doubts
And you’ll see
That confidence was there all along
Just as the sun always shines
Even when clouds appear to block it
Dissolve the doubts
And allow your true confidence to shine through
How?
Stop feeding them
Let the thoughts of doubt pass
Soon enough
Their illusory hold on you disappears
And you realize
The magnificence of who you’ve been all along
Raw Human Commentary
I’ve had some BIG realizations around confidence lately.
Why? Because I’ve been learning how to be more confident myself.
I’m talking about genuine, soul-level confidence.
Not the forced ego-confidence that has dominated our culture.
You see, ego-confidence comes from attaching your identity to external things.
It’s “puffing yourself up” because of accomplishments or things you have. It’s a front to make up for deeper insecurities. We’ve all been there.
Soul-level confidence simply IS. It’s intrinsic.
All you have to do is clear what’s in the way, and it shines through.
It’s your inner light. When you cultivate it, its radiance is felt.
I like to call it magnetic confidence. Because that’s what it is. It’s magnetic on an energetic level.
Now, the main thing that blocks this magnetic confidence is self-doubt.
Thoughts of doubt cloud your confidence. It also kills your magnetism.
If you think about it, most of the things associated with lack of confidence come from self-doubt: awkward body language and tone of voice, nervousness, anxiety, self-sabotage, fear of what others think, etc.
So how do you reduce self-doubt?
It’s actually pretty simple.
1: Notice the doubts
Be aware of the doubt-thoughts when they come up.
It takes practice. But the more you observe the doubts, the less power they have over you.
Practice simply noticing doubt throughout the day. Every time you notice it is like a rep in the gym of consciousness.
After noticing thoughts of doubt a few hundred times, it starts to fade away.
This is how you stop feeding doubt.
2:Practice gratitude
This was a cool finding.
Gratitude is the ultimate doubt destroyer.
If you combine noticing doubt with practicing gratitude, it works wonders.
Why? Because when you’re in gratitude, you’re not doubting yourself. Also, a state of gratitude results in magnetic confidence without even trying.
All you need to do is feel gratitude.
It doesn’t have to be some cheesy rehearsed show. And you don’t have to find something big to be grateful for either. Find something small/simple to be grateful for, or even feel gratitude for life itself.
Remember, genuine confidence is intrinsic.
You always have it. You just need to clear what’s in the way - doubt.
Then, your magnetic confidence shines through, and attracts amazing things in your life.
With Infinite Love,
