If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that confidence and rock solid inner peace don’t come from something outside of you. No amount of Botox injections, workouts, job promotions, coveted reservations at the hot new restaurant or club or designer shoes and handbags will sustain you in the long run. You might get the emotional equivalent of a sugar rush, but that temporary high will be just that – temporary.
Maintaining real confidence is work – a daily practice and commitment. It requires patience, dedication, forgiveness, and an incredible amount of self-compassion. Which is why I’m such a fan of master life coach and author, Cara Alwill Leyba’s new book, Like She Owns the Place: Give Yourself the Gift of Confidence and Ignite Your Inner Magic.
In Like She Owns the Place, Cara is like a best friend who holds your hand and walks you through the tangible steps to you need to take to upgrade your thoughts, change the habits that are holding you back, take action and step into your most authentic, confident self. Cara’s own vulnerability and willingness to share her own stories, insecurities and missteps is refreshing – and smart. She connects and empathizes with her reader from the beginning.
So how do you get unshakeable confidence – the kind that can’t be knocked down by a negative incident, challenging situation or unkind word?
According to Cara, it all starts with looking at what’s happening on the inside and asking yourself, “Am I happy?” and “Do I feel good?”
If the answer is no, then these are the steps you need to take to “own the place” (which, by the way, means having control of your inner life – your attitude, your thoughts and how you view the world.)
6. Burn the rule book – understand that no one career opportunity, dream or experience can bring us success. Success is an inside job, a state of being.
In order to feel confident, to feel successful, you have to come from a high vibe place. And the only way to do that is to start from within. Prioritize your well-being, trust your gut, let go of people and situations that drain you, and know that you have the power to choose a different thought in every moment. If you’re ready to feel good and vibe higher, you can pick up a copy of Cara’s new book right here.
