60 Seconds of Positivity: Confidence Part 1 Carlos Camacho Psychology


Many people erroneously believe that Confidence is something people are born with.
They mistakenly believe that people who are confident are lucky to have The Confidence Gene.
This of course is not true, its actually the opposite.
Confidence like every other skill is learned.
People decide a goal, then they define their plan and then they practice it.
Whether its kicking a ball, running a business, writing a blog or simply confidence building.
These 3 steps cannot be avoided, especially the practicing or the Doing part of it.
Confident people are not actually confident, they pretend to be confident.
They take up a role, or a character, a confident character and they perform the task.
I can assure you that as they are performing they experience the same fears that others do,
but they have convinced themselves, starting with their brain, that they are confident
and therefore their brain allows the process to continue as opposed to releasing anxiety.
It is the anxiety that makes you look and feel not confident, insecure and uncertain.
If you can convince the brain to not  release anxiety you will be half there.
