<ul><li>Step 1: It’s okay to stumble (Forgive yourself). Everyone I know misses a workout here or there. It’s nothing to feel shame over. </li><li>Step 2: Have a plan! Without scheduling your week’s workouts, how do you even know if you’re being consistent or not?</li><li>Step 3: Have a backup plan! (Lose the “all or nothing” mindset). If your first plan falls through, nbd. Just move onto the next one. “Some” workout is always better than “no” workout. Do the best you can. </li></ul>

When it comes to working out consistently, remember to: 

<ul><li>Step 4: Make it fun. Your workout doesn’t need to be something you dread. If you like hiking, go hiking. If you like swimming, go swimming. Any movement is beneficial and should be encouraged. No one said you have to hate it. </li><li>Step 5: Find an accountability partner. Going alone is almost always harder. If you can find a friend or coach to team with, it will make working out consistently easier. </li></ul>

<ul><li>Step 6: Embrace “action” not “motivation.” If you have to wait around for motivation to start working out, you might be waiting for quite a while.

“Building confidence is like building momentum: Just keep taking action and you'll feel more and more confident with each positive step”

What is your purpose in work and in life? Once you identify your "why” you'll be more confident because you'll be coming from a place of purpose.

1. Define your purpose

In almost every case, when you compare yourself with someone else, it takes the form of negative self-talk about how you're not good enough. Doing this weakens self-confidence. The only person you need to compare yourself with is the version of yourself that you want to become.

2. Avoid comparing yourself with others

There will always be challenges. But focusing solely on a problem is a self-defeating practice. Instead, acknowledge that problems will arise, and when they do, focus on finding solutions as a strong leader. The more problems you overcome, the more confidence you'll build and the easier it will be to find solutions.

3. Focus on solutions

Sometimes we spend more time making up for our perceived weaknesses than we do honoring our strengths. While I certainly agree with improving weaknesses, you might find that your confidence will increase when you play up your strengths. For example, if you're not good at math (like me), don't be a CFO. Stick with your strengths.

4. Play to your strengths

If you suffer from imposter syndrome, or the untrue belief that you're not good enough, just pretend to be confident. Keep embracing the idea that you're already successful. You might not be convinced at first, but eventually your thoughts will follow your emotions and you'll become a more confident person.

5. Fake it till you make it

Fear can be paralyzing. Ignore the voice in your head telling you that you can't do something, and take action anyway. The more you let fear hold you back, the stronger the negative voice will become. It works in the other direction too: The more you take action, the quieter the negative voice will become.

6. Take action

When you look good, you'll feel good. When you feel good, you feel confident. Wear the clothes you want to wear. Invest in how you look and you'll invest in your own success.

7. Take pride in your appearance

Negative self-talk and pessimism are a vicious cycle, and a drain on your confidence. Focus on your positive attributes instead of perceived weaknesses; focus on your accomplishments rather than on your perceived failures. Keep focused on what is working instead of what is not working.

8. Focus on the positive

Success is part preparation and part opportunity. Study, practice, and do what it takes to prepare yourself for when the right opportunity knocks on your door. If you're prepared, you are more likely to have the confidence to capitalize on the opportunity.

9. Be ready

Body language speaks much louder than words. When you're feeling down on yourself, change your posture: Pull your shoulders back, hold your head high, stand with your feet wide and put your hands in the air like a superhero. Notice how the new stance quickly changes your mood and boosts your confidence.

10. Embrace the power of body language

There is no magic solution that will suddenly make you a more confident person. But when you focus on making consistent and small steps, you can transform yourself from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Just Be Confident!!

Here are 10 ways you can develop the mindset shared by the most confident people.

Your success is directly correlated to your confidence. Here's ten ways to develop a strong and confident mindset.

10 Habits of the Most Confident People

Forse il titolo è troppo forzato, ma credo che rispecchi la realtà. La durata della connessione-lettura ad una pagina web, nel migliore dei casi, non supera i trenta secondi. Bisogna essere non solo particolarmente veloci nella lettura per arrivare alla conclusione del primo paragrafo. E’ importante anche che chi legge sia interessato all’argomento. Può anche accadere che si conosca chi scrive ed allora l’interesse del lettore aumenta.&nbsp;

Trenta Secondi

Non bisogna essere delusi o illusi, la realtà è questa. Data l’infinita quantità di materiale presente in rete, una “realtà liquida” che scorre inesorabilmente 24 ore su 24, una vera e propria alluvione incontrollata ed incontrollabile. Non è una questione di attenzione per i contenuti, non è colpa di chi scrive. L’uso del web ci ha fatto diventare tutti più veloci e ricettivi a discapito della lentezza, ma anche della riflessione, elementi entrambi decisivi per affrontare contenuti complessi.

Realtà Liquida

La cosa curiosa, però, è che gli “scrittori” fioriscono come funghi. Le "scritture" in rete fioriscono in tutte le stagioni, per ogni tipo di argomento, in tutte le possibili forme che il digitale offre: parole, suoni ed immagini. La ragione di questo va ritrovata nel fatto che la scrittura ha assunto una funzione senza dubbio terapeutica.&nbsp;

Scrittori come Funghi

Tutti concordano sul fatto che scrivere porta benessere, soprattutto per chi scrive. Chi comincia non ne può più fare a meno. Scrivere migliora la capacità di introspezione, mette ordine nei pensieri e genera una narrazione, uno “storytelling” per dirla con una parola alla moda, che completa la propria personalità, affina il proprio “business”, aumenta la creatività e gli interessi.

"Storytelling"

Lo “storytelling” è uno strumento di persuasione, comunicazione ma soprattutto di riflessione. E' in grado cioè di interpretare la realtà e costruire significati. Questo lo verifichiamo ogni volta che scriviamo. Da un'idea confusa, nasce un concetto, un progetto mentre si scrive. Io personalmente non so quasi mai dove andrò a parare una volta che mi sono messo alla tastiera. Se provo ad usare la penna, incontro difficoltà impreviste ed impensabili quando non c’era, non dico il pc, ma nemmeno la macchina da scrivere.&nbsp;

Strumento di persuasione

Il mio pensiero va a quando, ragazzino, nella tipografia paterna osservavo i compositori i quali dai grandi cassettoni delle lettere di piombo, le prendevano una ad una e componevano la riga sul tipometro. Riga dopo riga, davano poi vita alla “forma”, la quale, messa in macchina, opportunamente inchiostrata, generava la pagina.&nbsp;

La "Forma"

Adesso io, con le mie dita sulla tastiera, in maniera veloce e dinamica, in poche battute, dò vita alla pagina, andando dritto al cuore della comunicazione, quello del “senso” della scrittura, e la propongo al lettore, in tempo reale, superando spazio e tempo.&nbsp;

La Pagina

Essa rimane nel tempo e si allunga nello spazio infinito della rete. Vi pare poco? Ma se la scrittura è terapeutica, liberatoria e libertaria, la stessa diventa del tutto inutile se non diventa lettura. In un prossimo post mi occuperò della sua importanza.&nbsp;

Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatma’s life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhi’s struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between India’s Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture India’s economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhi’s thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him—family, friends, and political and social leaders.

Drug Addiction: How to get rid of it

Research by psychologist Carol Dweck suggests that there are two basic <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-mindset-2795025">mindsets</a> that influence how people think about themselves and their abilities: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.<ul><li>People who possess a fixed mindset believe that things such as <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/theories-of-intelligence-2795035">intelligence</a> are static and unchangeable. They tend to give up more easily in the face of a challenge.</li><li>Those who have a growth mindset, feel that they can change, grow, and learn through effort. People who believe that they are capable of growth are more likely to achieve success.</li></ul>
