Need more CONFIDENCE?!

I think the #1 thing every single person struggles with is CONFIDENCE.

It doesn't matter how much success, skill, or experience we have under our belts. We always have to do a CONFIDENCE check.

For those of you who might be closer to the starting line, don't you worry!

If you're working on it, then you're off to a great start.

The great thing about becoming confident is it's a SKILL. This means you can intentionally put effort into improving that area of your artistry.

Isn't that good to know?! I think so!

In case you haven't heard of The Confidence/ Competence Loop, here's what that means.

It says that the MORE you practice and do an action, the better you get at doing the activity. It's a loop.

So you want to FEEL confident? Practice it!

You might be asking, "How do I practice confidence?"

Well, I'm glad you asked. 

1. The very act of NOT feeling confident means, at some level, you're NOT doing the action FULL OUT. You MUST start practice the energy of full out. 
2. Stop giving yourself an out by staying small and safe. Stop being okay with playing shy and "nice." Here's a hint: You can be a nice person and confident at the same time. Don't let one negate the other.
3. Develop your OPINION. Even if you're wrong. Take it from me. I did not have the level of success I have because I am afraid to speak up. Besides, being a great dancer, creator, and performer requires you have to KNOW what you want to say.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Now get to it!

You know what they say, "Practice makes perfect." Yeah sure. What they really mean to say is, "Practice makes CONFIDENCE."

Weeeeeerrrrrrrkkkkkk!!!

With Lots of LOVE,
Teresa
