Fast Self-Esteem Builders: Ideas to Spark Your Courage
Fast self-esteem builders is what today's post is all about. There's also something to be said for simple, actionable tips or confidence hacks.
Pick Something You're Scared of and Do It Anyway!
Self-Esteem Builders:
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR TODAY
It's simple and something you can, and should do today. While it's simple, it's not always the easiest thing to do. The idea is to pick something you're scared of (or worried about, or putting off because you're not sure you can do it) and do it anyway.
I challenge you to start doing this today and then continue it as often as possible. Going forward, you should be doing something that scares you several times per week.
Obviously what you pick to do will be very individual and different from person to person. That being said, it helps to look at some ideas to get started. This will give you a feel for the type of stuff I'm talking about and the scope of it.
Maybe you thought it had to be a big scary thing that I'm asking you to do and by looking through the examples below you realize that it can be something much smaller that you can actually see yourself doing. Maybe you like the idea of doing something you're scared of, but can't think of a single thing you could do today. The list of ideas may spark a thought for something unique to you that you can do.
