The Confidence Project Entry 1: Identifying My Area/s of Focus
Why did I join the Confidence Project?"
Henry David Thoreau once said:
I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
I believe that the Confidence Project is a good stepping stone for me to improve my confidence. I am positive that as long as I also cooperate, my objectives will be attained.
My area of focus and 3 activities:
I think that the area I should improve on is that I am not very much confident in speaking in public. I always get nervous and end up not taking the chance to speak in front of a very large crowd.
- I plan to start small. I will try to speak in a group of 3-5 people first. With this, I will be able to share my thoughts to others without stressing out.
- I will speak in front of the mirror. I would like to see myself speak in order to become my very own audience. I will try to be my own critic.
- I will reward myself after I speak in front of others. I will assure myself I did a great job instead of focusing on my mistakes.
This is my entry for @thegaillery 's contest: https://steemit.com/projectconfidence/@thegaillery/the-confidence-project-takeaway-1-identify-your-areas-of-focus
I believe that everyone has the opportunity to improve. As long as we just focus on our goals and follow the procedures, we will surely achieve what we aim.
@brokemancode, congratulations on identifying an area that matters the most to you 😁 We are looking forward to seeing your progress. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much. Thanks also for taking time in guiding us to become more confident. :)
Good luck!!! ^^ And kudos to @thegaillery and team for starting this project. :) Be confident.. Be YOU! (^_^)/
Thank you so much! I will try my best to participate in all the activities designed to help us be more confident. :)
Kaya ra kaayo na... Just enjoy, but don't force yourself.. :) Slowly but surely... ^^ I've been there... But through my experiences, I've been able to overcome my insecurities... I learned to love and appreciate myself... It should always start within you... ^^ SMILE sa bi.. hihihi :D
Mao lage. Thanks sa advice and encouragement! :)
You're welcome.. ^^
I can actually relate to this. I, too, have a stage fright. Speaking engagements are a torture for me. Maybe because I have lots of bad experiences before when it comes to speaking in a podium. But good thing you identified that as your area of focus @brokemancode! You're on the right track.
We're totally the same. Everytime I speak in front,bad things occur. That's why speaking in front is really a challenge for me.
I think I have stage fright too! Especially when I need to talk to people I just knew. It seems I can't think of anything to say. I become too silent.. 😁
Just like me! I encourage you to join the project @wandergirl !
Great start @brokemancode! I'm excited to see your progress. We share the same issues with public speaking.
I'm excited too! I know the process of becoming confident will take a lot of effort but I'm willing to cooperate. I agree, many people struggle to keep their cool while speaking in front of others.
Congratulations @brokemancode! We're excited to know your progress on this aspect that you want to improve.
Thank you so much!
