SMALL WINS BUILDS MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE

Do you know the feeling of setting big goals and dreams, but keep letting yourself down because you can't stick to them? The key here is that small wins builds more self-confidence! 💕✨

"If you want to be responsible, keep your promises to others. If you want to be successful, keep your promises to yourself" - Marie Forleo

If you are like me, you are extremely good at keeping all your promises to others. You don't like to disappoint people, so you always keep your promises to others - also if sometimes means not keeping the promises you've made to yourself.

Does that sound familiar?

But I have something important to tell you, of course we should stick to things we promise others - but it is just as important to stick to the things you promise yourself!

If you keep saying to yourself that "from now on I'm gonna do...." or "every day I'll do ..." - and then you keep NOT doing it, then guess what? You're going to disappoint yourself more and more. You'll keep letting yourself down. This will tear down your belief and trust in yourself, and your love for yourself.

And I know it can be the hardest thing sometimes to stick to the promises you've made with yourself, because then life comes around and you have too many things going on and then it's easier to just stick to the obligations you have made to others, and then "skip" those you've made with yourself.

But the BEST thing you can do for yourself is to keep those promises you make to yourself! This will build your own trust and belief in yourself, it will boost your self-confidence and your self-love!

How do you do that successfully?

You start small. Like, really small. And I know this is so hard, because you're probably really ambitious and have big dreams (I feel you, I'm the exact same - and I'm ALL about dreaming big and going after the big things). But if you fx want to implement a new habit, then instead of going from fx never practicing yoga, to saying "I want to practice yoga every day for 30 minutes!", the goal is beautiful - but be realistic and start small and build yourself more and more up.

Start with saying that you want to fx practice yoga every morning for 5 minutes, or once a week for 30 minutes. Stick to this smaller habit for a while, and make it a successful experience for yourself

In that way you'll feel empowered every time you accomplish that "smaller win", and perhaps you'll even start doing a longer practice now that you're already at it - that's just a win-win!

But my best advice would be to start small, and then build it up - and feel the self-love and your self-confidence boost along the way as you keep your promises to yourself! 💕✨
