Confidence in yourself is what helps you to feel confident in your career.
Confidence in yourself is about your belief that you can do what you set out to do. For example, if you believe you can run an effective meeting at work… You are confident that you can run an effective meeting at work. Signs that you are confident that you can run an effective meeting at work would be signing up for the opportunity, preparing with ease, and showing up to the meeting with a smile on your face – feeling ready to lead!
Having confidence in your career means that you feel confident that you can continue on in your chosen career.
Want to get started? You need to find self-acceptance for who you are right here, right now. If you want to truly feel confident in your abilities (without a crash diet first), you need more self-love. Because, even if you meet all of your external goals, like losing a few pounds, internally, you’ll be unhappy.
Even if you meet any other external measure of success like a salary goal, you could be laid off. So ultimately, the only way to ensure you feel confident in yourself and your career is to achieve self-love. Doing this allows you to always have an internal source of confidence.
“To achieve a self-love mindset you’ll need to strengthen your “self-love muscle” daily.“
Here are 3 ways you can strengthen your feelings of self-love daily. First, practice mindfulness meditation for just 2 minutes a day. Then, add in a self-forgiveness practice. Lastly, identify 3 things you are grateful for every day and write them down. And, if you have been holding yourself back from achieving self-love because you aren’t at your “ideal” weight, self-forgiveness is what’s going to radically change your self-perception! If every day you forgive yourself for judging your body for what it looks like, you can then work towards actually loving your body and doing things that align well with your body’s needs and reach your goals (which is the only way to make sustainable changes!).
While these 3 self-love building techniques are simple, the consistency factor is what makes it effective.
If you were trying to build your triceps, you would need to work them out daily or lose them. Staying consistent with your self-love habits shows yourself that you are worthy of taking care of. It also builds the belief that you have value to offer in this world and deserve to be nurtured.
Once you truly know, accept, and appreciate who you are you can then start making well-aligned decisions for your life and career and practicing self-care at work.
With self-love, you can easily see what is and isn’t a well-aligned career decision to make for yourself. Making well-aligned career decision will help you feel more confident in your career. You will know what you are and are not good at. You will know what you do and do not like to do. And, you will know what your long-term goals are and are not so you can easily carve out your path.
