Welcome to Bee Yourself Counselling
SELF-CONFIDENCE
The irony of struggling with self-confidence is that you will find it hard to reach out for help because you lack confidence! Keep in mind, we all struggle with self-confidence to varying degrees and for various reasons. Be kind to yourself.
Here are my definitions of self-confidence/self-esteem - remember, nobody will have all these ducks in a row at one time! Well, at least, I've never met anybody who does. If we can work on even a couple of the areas below that you would like to improve on that is a huge accomplishment.
- You feel safe in your own skin
- You have healthy boundaries - ability to let in what helps and keep out what doesn’t
- You feel safe to be yourself around others even if they disagree with you
- You want to try new things even if you know you may fail (because you know it's not really failing!)
- You want to enjoy your life, not endure it
- You form close relationships while honouring your own desires and needs
- You listen to your feelings
- You know you have areas for improvement but you don't judge yourself harshly for this
- You listen to your own needs and don't feel guilty for having them
- You have the ability to live in the moment and enjoy the simple things in life
- You have peace of mind
- You have a sense of ease and trust in the universe/God. You know God/the universe has your back at all times, even when bad things happen.
