Affirmations Build Confidence
Affirmations are positive messages you can repeat over and over. They are helpful at changing what you believe at a subconscious level. Many people use them so they feel better and to become more positive.
What you think of yourself is more important than what others think of you. Here are some confidence boosters as we move forward.
I am confident, happy, healthy, and powerful.
I believe in myself and my capabilities.
Every day I am becoming a better version of myself.
I find the beauty in life.
Challenges are opportunities to grow and improve.
I make a difference every day by showing up and doing my best.
All I need is within me.
I have unshakable faith in myself.
I am confident this too shall pass.
When you put one foot in front of the other, sometimes you find yourself two-stepping around the room.

This is No Joke
A shy priest greets the wedding guests at the Chapel. He's very nervous and doesn't say much. As the couple approaches the altar, the priest steps up and gives the best speech anyone has ever heard. He's full of confidence, incredibly expressive, and has everyone in fits of laughter!
After the vows, the priest is extremely shy and barely says a word to anyone. The groom approaches the him and asks, "why are you so shy? You seemed like a different person when you were giving that speech!"
"I know..." Says the priest, "but that was just my altar ego".
