Want to Be More Confident? 🙋‍♀️💪 Start Here! 🚀

Hello Shiny Minds,

I kept hearing the same joke for years: "If you could just get over your shyness, Shiny!" :)

Obviously I was never perceived as a "shy" person by others around me, who knew me. On the contrary, my confidence and assertiveness was even "too much" for some people that I interacted  with.

But...

I had something similarly challenging inside.

I did not feel strong enough to speak my truth. So I either held back or said something I didn't really feel like.

I was too afraid of being judged, being shamed and being wrong.

Until I realized that I was the one judging myself... limiting myself... not allowing myself to express freely, truthfully, vulnerably...

Because of my childhood conditioning...

Let's call it "recovering people pleaser".

Can you relate?

If you can, you're also gonna enjoy today's topic.

Key Strategies to Overcome Shyness

1. Shift Your Focus 🤓: Instead of worrying about what others think, concentrate on your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
2. Challenge Negative Thoughts 🤯: Replace self-doubt with positive affirmations.
3. Listen to Your Empowering Voice 🦻: Your mind is a battleground of different voices.

Overcoming shyness is a journey, not a destination.

By implementing these strategies and cultivating a positive mindset, you can break free from the limitations of shyness and embrace a more confident and fulfilling life.

Remember, you are capable of great things.

You just gotta believe in yourself, even though when all the odds are against you; even though nobody else believes in you; even though you are the only one rooting for you!

Shyness is a symptom, a signal, inviting you to look at what's beneath that so that you can accept all parts of yourself and go from all kinds of shy'ness to shiny'ness!
