I'm your host, michelle Rios, and today we're diving in deep into the topic of confidence and, specifically, how keeping promises to ourselves can be a game changer in our personal growth journey. So go ahead, grab your favorite beverage, find a cozy spot and let's get started. First, let's start by defining what confidence really means. Confidence is so much more than feeling good about yourself. It's about trust, particularly the trust in your ability to handle whatever life throws your way. And it's built through experiences, whether these are small or big victories in our daily lives. But here's the catch Confidence doesn't just appear out of thin air. It's cultivated through consistent actions, especially the promises we make and keep to ourselves. So why is keeping our word so vital to building confidence? Because when we make a promise to ourselves and follow through, we're not just completing the task itself, we're proving to ourselves that we're reliable, and that reliability becomes the foundation of self-trust. Think about it how do you feel when you say you'll do something like wake up early or finish a project, and you actually do it? It feels good, right? There's a sense of accomplishment. That's the seed of confidence growing right there. And conversely, what happens when we break these promises? Well, each time we fail to follow through, we're chipping away at that trust, which leads to a decrease in our self-esteem and confidence. So it's like telling ourselves that we cannot be trusted, which can really be damaging over time. This is why it's crucial to set realistic goals and commitments that we can actually keep. It fosters a positive cycle of trust and confidence building.
Speaker 1:
So how can we get better at keeping our promises to ourselves? First and foremost, it's about setting clear and achievable goals. Start small and gradually build up. Also, either keep a journal or tracker on your phone to monitor your progress. This not only helps you keep accountable, but allows you to visually see the progress you're making.
Speaker 1:
And I can't overstate this enough Be patient. Confidence building is a journey. It's not a race. So be patient with yourself. So to wrap building confidence through keeping promises to ourselves is one of the most empowering actions we can take. It leads to a stronger sense of self, more resilience and, ultimately, a more fulfilling life. So I challenge you, as we end today's episode, to set a small promise to yourself and keep it, and then watch your confidence grow as you prove to yourself that you can do what you say you will.
