Dear Wonderful Woman,

I hope you're well.

Do you believe in yourself?

Or do you have have doubts or fears that you "can't do it"?

I know that it can be a challenging to believe in yourself when you're not getting the results in your career that you want.

That is exactly why we need to work on building up our self believe, so that we don't let fear cloud our judgement or so we don't become a self-saboteur and give up on ourselves.

We need to actively cultivate self-belief, a positive mindset and to build our confidence through action.

I wanted to remind us to keep working on our self-believe actively as we journey to creating the career success that we desire.

Because when we believe in ourselves, that's when are proactive, we are resilient, solutions focussed and we take action to do the things that serve us.

Today I'm sharing 3 tips to build belief in yourself:

1 Believe it's Possible

I am in no doubt that you've had some pretty amazing and wonderful accomplishments in your career. In the past there would have been a time when you thought that accomplishment would never be possible for you! It was a goal that you set, you overcame challenges and now it's a distant memory. We so easily forget what it took, the journey and what we endured to get there. Take a moment reflect and engage in some positive self-talk on your current career goal. What will it take to get you there?

2 Surround yourself with positive and encouraging people

The people that we spend the most time with have an effect on your mindset, beliefs, motivation and what you believe is possible for you. Don't let some else's small thinking curtail your dreams or ambitions. Take a moment to reflect on is there anything more you can do be in networks, groups or to follow people that inspire you to grow in confidence and self-belief. What action do you need to take?

3 Don't let challenge's mean something about your ability to achieve your career goal

As you're taking action towards achieving your career goal, you will face challenges internally in your mind about your ability to achieve it and externally in the environment that you're operating in. Challenges are obstacles that we can work to overcome. Don't let a challenge, obstacle or a failure equate in your mind to a belief that you can't do it.

Believe instead: It's a temporary setback, a useful data point and something that you can learn from.

Take a moment and ask yourself, have you let a setback become a limiting belief?

And finally, let's all remember to actively invest time in believing in yourself, because when you do so that's when the magic happens!

Hit reply and let me know what's 1 thing you will actively do to build up your self-belief today?

I hope you have a great day ahead and weekend.

Warm Regards,

Ekua 💛
