Confidence

"When you're not used to being confident, confidence feels like arrogance.
When you're used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression.
When you're not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish.
Your comfort zone is not a good benchmark."

If this resonates with you, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to check your mindset. Play with confidence and question your feelings and thoughts when for example you feel uncomfortable and arrogant when you put yourself out there. What do you tell yourself, in these moments, which emotion do you attach to these thoughts, what sensation do you feel in your body and what is your behaviour (making yourself small, invisible and maybe you go out of contact, with yourself and/or with others). It is very powerful when you become aware of your unconscious behaviour. Usually there is a fear underneath these behaviours. Feelings of not feeling good enough, not worthy, unsafe et cetera. Becoming aware of your unconscious behaviour is the beginning to healing old pain and to be able to change the way you think and feel about certain situations. You can become the director of your life again.
