What’s one important fuel to a energetic mind and a raging body?
I would say that it’s confidence. Like they always say, be confident but not cocky. It’s a trick to finding the right balance between Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient.
Picture it as a magnet, just that this magnet attracts the likes of it. Confidence attracts positive thinking, a will to tackle challenges head-on, the ability to remove limit barriers, the ability to exceed all expectations set upon you, the ability to exceed yourself, surprising even yourself in the process. Confidence allures.
When’s the last time you’ve felt damn confident about yourself? When you’ve planned and prioritize your schedule to meet a real tight dateline. When you’ve planned for a real sweet surprise for your significant half and pulled it through.Probably when things are going your way the whole day. Simply, when things work out the way you’ve planned it to be.
Let me make a bold assumption here then. Confidence comes to you when you’ve planned for something thoroughly and follow through the plan till the end. When you’ve reached the end, you’d feel damn good ’bout yaself, won’t ya? Spend 1 minute now, and recall the last time you’ve felt that tingling sensation and a tiny smile appearing at the corner of your mouth.
Now let’s pause for a moment. Human have a tendency to enjoy the moment, and store that moment somewhere deep within the brain thereafter. Compliment yourself. Pat yourself would even be better, what’s important is that you register that feeling with a physical reaction before you store it. Tons of research have shown that the brain remembers stuff that’s tightly connected to the 5 senses (God knows who’s the researchers, credit to them anyways).
With that done, you’ll be able to somehow regain part of that confidence. Bad days are bound to happen, Murphy’s all around us. Take it with a pinch of salt, regain that posture you once had and enjoyed.
You’ve done it once, what’s stopping you from doing it again? Only yourself could stand in your path, if you let yourself be.
