THIS is Sabotaging Your Confidence

Ok, if true confidence comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself…then it would make sense that the fastest way to sabotage your confidence and momentum is by NOT keeping those same promises, right?

But here’s the thing…I bet you rarely wake up and say to yourself, “I’m not going to keep my word today!”

If you’re anything like me, you probably get more creative with the ways that you let yourself off the hook, something I lovingly refer to as the “cute quit.”

Instead of admitting that you’re uncomfortable, bumping into major imposter syndrome, or fearful that you won’t succeed, the “cute quit” sounds more like:

“I’m giving myself grace”

“This isn’t aligned right now”

“I’m so overwhelmed…I’ll take action later”

Does any of this sound familiar? 

Don’t get me wrong, there ARE times when the above statements are true and you really need to give yourself grace…but as soon as I was willing to get honest with myself about why I wasn’t moving toward my dreams the truth was that I was hiding behind these excuses (and maybe you are too).

If you feel personally attacked by today’s message 🤣 I highly recommend checking out this recent podcast episode! EP323: The Art Of The “Cute Quit” And Why It’s Chipping Away At Your Confidence

In this episode I talk about:

• How to believe and trust in yourself more 
• What happens when you break the promises that you make to yourself 
• Facing the deep-rooted fears around your big ideas  
• Getting honest about busy work vs. work that moves the needle 
• Having an extra layer of accountability to keep you on track with your goals 

Remember: keeping your word to yourself (especially when you don’t feel like it) is the fastest way to build belief in yourself and start to know yourself as someone you can count on!
