Uncovering Confidence Beneath Fear - October 31

Do you ever find yourself working hard to build confidence? There’s actually another way. In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz reminds us that true confidence isn’t something we have to create—it’s already within us. Instead of getting caught up in fearful thoughts about how to feel confident, notice that your confidence has always been there—it’s simply been hidden beneath the noise.

It could also depend on our beliefs. When with friends we believe in our self worth, our standing. When in another environment there could be the clouds of self doubt that cluster in and subdue our belief in our skills and abilities, thereby dulling our confidence and calling it into question, especially if we have made some wrong decisions, or choices in that environment?

Thankyou Liz 🙏🏼
I like the metaphor of the blue sky as being our confidence.

The first time I flew above clouds on a cloudy day and saw the blue sky was still there, was also a metaphor.

A very useful image…and the clouds cover lots more than just my confidence!🙏🏻😊

Interesting! I would also say that as a late diagnosed neurodivergent adult who has undertaken years of therapy, the better I've got to know myself (and realised that I spent much of my life masking) the more confidence I have 'gained'. Perhaps this is due to no longer believing the thoughts I had about myself and allowing the 'real' me to come to the fore, thus dispelling the cloud of thought for one of clarity.

Exactly what I needed this morning, thank you! I also think it’s neat that although we’re thousands of miles apart, our weather patterns are always the same! 🍃🍁🤍🙏🏻
