Our intention, with this essay, is clarifying.

Clarifying what?

A story from my own life, centered on confidence/my own sense of confidence.

But, also, two “daily investments,” as well as confidence, itself.

Sort of.

Regardless of those details, let’s begin!

A Quick Story

Sometime in September of 2021, a wish came to me.

A yearning, come to think of it.

The yearning was simple: confidence.

Right within this yearning, there was another yearning: feeling comfortable with myself, my speaking, my beauty.

And so on and so forth.

To help me become confident, a notion came to me.

“Conduct two daily investments, each one rooted in appreciation and, in turn, visualization.”

Just as you might assume, that is what happened.

Every single day, two daily investments, as it were, occured.

Or, were conducted; whichever is more grammatically correct.

The end result of this was, strangely enough, a greater sense of confidence, better speaking, as well as peace.

A kind of inner peace, that is.

None of this lasted forever. But, it persisted for a while and, with these “daily investments,” my confidence can, and does, return with far greater ease than it used to.

2 Daily Investments For True Confidence

Our first “daily investment” was, and is, appreciating your/my speaking.

Just as an example, you can think all sorts of nice, loving thoughts, regarding your speaking, to yourself.

“I am a really great speaker, and I love that I speak so well, so clearly, so eloquently, in a manner that, I feel, is so controlled and measured and just lovely!”

You can think those thoughts every single day, for a period of several minutes.

Give or take, of course.

Our second “daily investment” was, and is, seeing yourself as a person of confidence.

You can see yourself in a situation that requires the confidence you seek.

A situation that may, as per one example, involve you at a party.

You are speaking with several people, while enjoying some nice food.

And, with the above in mind, you can see yourself, from a third-person perspective, enjoying this party and speaking confidently, while acting confident in other, equally relevant to your own aims/vision, ways.

Right after you let this scene play out, you can imagine flowing into your body.

You are now seeing this party from your own, interior, perspective.

And, right within this perspective, you are experiencing your own confidence.

Your own effortless, loving, and fundamentally delightful confidence.

If you conduct these two daily investments, you will be confident.

Conclusion

Just to wrap this up, thank you so much for reading!

If you enjoyed this essay, you may enjoy using the “daily investments” outlined within it!

My apologies for the odd use of quotation marks for “daily investments.” This was purely intuitive.

No matter what, though, please have a fantastic day!
