Self confidence

[dandeliondraws]

How do I even begin to feel confident with all of the current standards? I have been working so hard on myself but it gets to a point where you have to wonder if you're even yourself.

Every day every person evolves.

Every person is different,every day is different so it stands to reason that you will be different but I do get what you mean.

Perhaps your giving your self to harder time and should stop kicking your but.after all if your not your self how can you know of your right or wrong.

Personally I would quiten the mind down with some mindfulness and JUST BE.

Have a break,let life come to you for once.

I hope this helps a little

Ps you will be surprised how well your doing if you write a lost down.that will give you permission to chill a little

Its just my own two cents, but I dont think self-confidence has anything to do with standards by any external measure. I think its about knowing that you exist and have every right to, and have the ability to embrace yourself, flaws and strengths. Its understanding what good you can bring into the world and finding the path forward that *you* choose at every fork in the road, not because its the "right" choice but because its just...yours. I think its...owning yourself and continuing to build towards that self.

I dont know though. Its a great question to be asking to find out what you think about it, though!

Good morning! Your post hit me this morning! My devotional encouraged me to "Make every effort" to work hard. But,like you, my thought was "I am getting tired... can I sustain working hard??" My enlightenment was I can, if I REST at least one day a week.

There is a balance which I need to strive for. Up until now, I either believe I have to work hard ALL the time and then feel guilty because I have not, or I am LAZY and believe it doesn't really matter...no one will see me. Bottom line. I believe we are called to work hard and rest!

Hope this gives you HOPE and peace. For some reason, it gave me both this morning.

Thank you for sharing!!

I struggle with this as well. Society’s standards are unrealistic and fake so just be YOU! 😊 no one can take that away from you.
