FIND YOUR FIERCEST SELF

Do you ever struggle with self-confidence? I think we all do at times. Especially in today’s world of social media, filters and photo shop, it’s way too easy to get caught up in comparison. The theme I’ve built my business on is Fierce and Beautiful – with the goal being to help my clients reveal a stronger, more confident, sexier, healthier and happier version of themselves. And I believe that building confidence is a key component to one’s fiercest self.

I would love for each and every one of you to become a life coaching client of mine; to help you work toward your goals as you conquer one by one. And I am always a message, email, DM or phone call away if and when you’re ready to take that step. However, I realize some who are reading this may not be ready for that level of commitment (yet ;)), and I want you to know there are steps you can take, even on your own, to find your fiercest self!

Find Your Passion

If you were my client, one of the first things on my agenda for you would be to help you discover what your passions are. What are you working toward? What is driving you to make a change in your life? What lights you up inside? Uncovering your passion will boost your confidence and conviction in yourself!

As someone wise once said, “you weren’t made to just pay bills and die.” In other words, life is too short to do things without a purpose that means something to you. What inspires and makes you feel fierce? What are you good at? What sets your soul on fire? Find your purpose behind day-to-day activities and you’ll enjoy them much more. When you’re passionate about what you’re doing, you’ll discover “work” that truly doesn’t feel like work.

Seek Growth

If you’re not growing and learning, you’re not thriving. When you look back on the previous year, do you want to feel that you are exactly the same person, in the same spot as you were when it began? Of course not. You want to be able to see growth from the person you were to the person you are. Seeing and feeling that growth is fiercely confidence-building.

But growth doesn’t just happen by accident, it’s like a bank account, and you must add to it and invest in it over time to see results. Big personal growth is created by “investing” in small decisions and actions consistently. Each page of a book you read, podcast episode you listen to, coaching session you have, workout you do, etc. is helping you to develop and grow into the fierce person you want to become. Make it your goal to learn something new or grow in some way each and every day.

Look the Part

Want to feel fierce and confident? Look the part. Now, this is going to be different for each person, because this is all about YOU feeling good about the way you look. It could mean dressing up or dressing down; putting on a full face of makeup and fixing your hair or keeping it simpler; rinsing your face with water or maintaining a strict skin care routine. Decide how much time it takes to put yourself together in a way that makes you feel ready to take on the world each day. Then, make that time a priority. It’s a form of self-care and an investment in yourself that you deserve! Remember, it’s not about how others perceive you, it’s about how you perceive you.

Set Boundaries

To feel your fiercest, you have to protect yourself from outside influences that might detract from your confidence. Be aware of how you are affected by things like social media, people around you and even trains of thought in your own head. If spending too much time on Instagram makes you feel inadequate, take a break. If a certain person or group of people make you feel insecure, spend less time with them (or even none). You can even create a plan for if/when you catch yourself in a negative headspace. Often times the person who needs to be reminded of your worth most is YOU. Distract yourself with a healthier activity that boosts you up. Participate in things that fill you and limit things that deplete you.

At the end of the day, you need to find what works for you when it comes to feeling beautiful, confident and fierce. But if you’re chasing your passions, seeking growth and setting boundaries, that’s a great place to start! You also might consider things like repeating affirmations, journaling, daily exercise, prayer, etc. As your confidence begins to rise, you’ll see how it becomes contagious to those around you. And by lifting others up, you’ll slowly create a community of positivity and fierce confidence around you!
