Building Confidence

The following exercise is a gentle practice that builds self-confidence and teaches us how to own our accomplishments. Some have been taught that it is 'wrong' to claim our achievements, that this is arrogant and boastful. Perhaps well-intended, this philosophy is erroneous. It assumes that we cannot own our strengths and accomplishments and also remain humble. We can do both.

When we are able to reflect on what we are most proud of and how we achieved this, we gain strength and power. We shift the story when we are able to connect that our achievements are not a result of external forces (yes, we are grateful for the help we've received) and are also the result of our work.
