and I can almost assure you that These are the three people that you don't like or love. When we look at self confidence from this perspective, it is so simple. If I want to be more confident, I should like myself more, and I should love myself more. Because the people that I love, I trust them. And the people I don't love or don't like, I tended to not trust them. And time and again, I've seen this happen with a lot of my women clients, that they are very self critical, and not so self loving. Somewhere along the way, we lost ourselves, we lost our love for ourselves, our respect for ourselves, our liking for ourselves. And somehow we got so caught up in other people's journeys, or chasing our next goals that we totally forgot what self love really looks like. And when we hear about self love on Instagram and other apps and stuff, it just seems like an indulgent activity. It seems like if you have a lot of time, you should do face masks, or you should go for massages. But the connection between self love and self confidence is the key to daily practicing self confidence, it's the key to increasing your self confidence. Knowing that if I can't love myself, it's very difficult for me to trust myself. And if I'm seeking confidence in meeting rooms, boardrooms, interviews, job search, business meetings, client calls, then I need to love myself. Because if I don't, I will not trust myself. If I don't trust myself, I will have low self confidence. If you can understand this simple thing. And every time you find yourself doubting your next move, doubting your next action, doubting yourself, I just want you to slow down and ask yourself, How can I love myself more in this moment? And why am I doubting? Is it because I don't like myself? Is it because I don't love myself? Or is it something else, because Self Love is the foundation of self confidence. In today's episode, this is all I want to share is that please remember, self love is directly proportional to self confidence. The more you love yourself, the more you can trust yourself. And this week, simply do this. The one thing that helps you increase your self love. It's the Valentine's Day week.
