How would your life change if you could feel confident every day, without fail?
Without confidence, it's hard to achieve much of anything. Where a lot of people get stuck is that they listen to their inner critic.
You know that voice that tells you all of the reasons why you'll fail or why you're not good enough?
I've got great news! This voice isn't you. It's merely a conditioned part of you that can be changed. Even better, you can transform your inner critic into your inner ally.
Confidence is a state of mind, meaning that it can be developed.

On a scale from 1-10, how confident are you?
The quality of your thoughts determines how you feel about yourself. According to the National Science Foundation, an average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. Crazy, right? If confidence doesn't come naturally to you, its time to reflect upon how you speak to yourself on a daily basis.
I'm not saying that it's easy to wake up every morning feeling unstoppable, but it is possible. If you commit to flexing your self-belief muscle, you can feel confident every day. However, keep in mind that nobody is born confident. Confidence is something that you condition and create with practice.
The moment that you start doubting yourself is the moment that you have to change your state. One of the best ways to take back control of your day and your life is to create an empowering morning ritual. Every successful person in the world has one. Taking time every single morning to nourish your mind, body and soul is an act of radical self-love. If you don't make yourself a priority, everything else in your life will suffer.
By proactively putting yourself in a powerful state from the get-go, you set yourself up to win. You'll be in a better frame of mind to handle any challenges that you encounter throughout the day. The go-to confidence ritual that I practice every day is reciting incantations.
These are empowering phrases that you verbalize using your entire body. Incantations are about embodying the meaning behind the words. This is how you reprogram your mind and cultivate new and empowering beliefs.
In this proactive state, taking action is effortless.
Challenges become opportunities. Failure becomes feedback. Whatever emotional state that you choose to live in on a consistent basis becomes your default way of being. I used to be a shy and anxious kid. That was a state of being that I conditioned every day by engaging in behaviors that were enabling my shyness.
It's fair to say I had zero confidence or belief in my abilities. I knew that if I wanted to be a more confident person, I needed to practice being confident, even though it felt uncomfortable to do so. Doing hard things builds resilience.
It is what has allowed me to overcome my greatest insecurities in life and build the self-confidence that I have today. If your life feels like it's limited right now, it's only because you're limiting your mind to what is possible. Another effective tool for boosting confidence and training your brain to be unstoppable is to create a daily visualization ritual.
Close your eyes and envision what it would look like and feel like to have unshakeable confidence. Reflect upon a time when you felt really confident. Put yourself back in that place. Imagine all the details. The more you repeat a thought or a feeling, the sooner it becomes a belief, a part of who you are.
The next time you're in a similar situation where you desire to have more confidence, anchor yourself back to that confident experience you once had, and recreate those confident feelings. You'll be amazed at how quickly your emotional state will change.
Are you ready to feel confident every day?
Here's the hard truth – if you don't believe in yourself then nobody is going to believe in you. Believing in yourself doesn't have to be hard. Make it a ritual to show up for yourself every day. Flex your belief muscle on a consistent basis and watch your entire life change before your eyes.
In Steve Jobs' Stay Hungry Stay Foolish commencement speech to the Stanford class of 2005, he said – “For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? ‘ And whenever the answer has been ‘No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
If today was the last day of your life, would you want to feel how you're feeling right now? Your answer may be the very thing that sets you free.
