Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Logan Creuz here your friendly neighborhood guide to
navigating the crazy roller coaster of life. Ever feel like
you're constantly second guessing yourself, like you're stuck in a
loop of self doubt that just won't quit. We've all
been there. But guess what. Building confidence isn't about magically
(00:21):
becoming someone else. It's about digging deep, understanding yourself better,
and making peace with the awesome person you already are.
To day on dopamine Reset Journal, We're diving into the
power of self reflection and mindfulness to unlock that inner
badass you've been hiding. We'll be breaking down some key
(00:41):
strategies that might just change how you see yourself for
the better. Of course, first off, let's talk about the
importance of self awareness. Think of it like this. You
wouldn't drive a car without checking your mirrors and understanding
where you are on the road. Right. Well, your mind
is kind of life that we need to regularly check
(01:03):
in with ourselves, our thoughts, feelings, motivations to understand what
makes us tick. Journaling can be a lifesaver here. Just
jotting down your daily experiences, even the mundane ones, can
reveal hidden patterns and help you gain clarity about who
you are and what truly matters to you. Next up, mindfulness.
(01:27):
This isn't just some trendy buzzword. It's about being fully
present in the moment without judgment. Ever, notice how easy
it is to get swept away by worries about the
future or regrets about the past. Mindfulness helps us anchor
ourselves in the now, appreciating the little things and breaking
free from those thought spirals that can really drain our confidence.
(01:52):
Take a few minutes each day to simply observe your breath,
your surroundings, your senses. It sounds simple, but it's incredibly powerful. Now,
let's talk about identifying and challenging those negative self talk
scripts we all carry around, you know, the ones I'm
not good enough, I can't do this, people will judge me.
(02:15):
These thoughts are like sneaky saboteurs, constantly chipping away at
our confidence. But here's the game changer. We have the
power to rewrite these narratives. When you catch yourself thinking
those negative things, ask yourself, is this really true? What
evidence supports this thought? Often we realize that these thoughts
(02:37):
are just distorted perceptions, not facts. Start replacing those negative
voices with positive affirmations and empowering beliefs. It takes practice,
but trust me, it makes a world of difference. And
don't forget about celebrating your wins, big or small. Did
you ace a presentation at work? Finally tackle that project
(03:00):
you've been putting off, give yourself a high five. Acknowledge
those accomplishments and let them fuel your confidence. Remember, building
confidence is a journey, not a destination. So imagine this.
You're walking into a room full of people, maybe for
a networking event or a presentation. Remember that feeling of
(03:23):
butterflies in your stomach. Ever felt like you wanted to disappear,
blend into the wall. Well, I used to feel that
way all the time. Public speaking terrified me. I'd get
tongue tied, my palms would sweat, and my mind would
go blank. But then I started practicing self reflection and mindfulness.
(03:43):
I journaled about my fears, identified the negative thoughts holding
me back, and challenge those beliefs. And guess what, the
more I practiced mindfulness, the calmer I became. I started
focusing on my breath, visualizing success and reminding myself of
my strengths. Fast forward to today. Public speaking is one
(04:06):
of my favorite things. Let's recap. We learn that building
confidence starts with understanding ourselves better. Through self reflection and journaling,
Mindfulness helps us stay grounded and present, breaking free from
those negative thought patterns. Remember to challenge your inner critic,
replace negativity with positive affirmations, and celebrate your wins, big
(04:30):
or small. So are you ready to unlock your inner badass?
Take a few minutes today to journal about what makes
you feel confident and identify one thing you can do
this week to practice mindfulness. Share your thoughts on social
media using dopamine reset journal. I can't wait to hear
(04:51):
from you until next time. Keep shining bright, my friends.
