Embracing the Unknown: Thriving Through Risky Actions & Leading With Confidence with Paige Easter

It’s time to step into the unknown and unleash your inner badass! In today’s episode, co-hosts Ben and Paige Easter are back to talk about confidence building through having the courage to take risky actions that are outside your comfort zone. So many people mistakenly think they need to wait until they feel confident to take certain actions, but that’s not the case! Confidence does not require you to overcome perfectionism. All it requires is the self-belief that whatever you wish to achieve is possible and that even if you do not succeed, you will still be okay in the end. 

A few tips for confidence building and embracing your inner power:

• Don’t wait until you feel confident to act. Taking courageous, risky actions creates confidence. 
• When someone gives you a compliment, accept it and say thank you! While you should not aim to rely on praise as your sole source of confidence, it can be useful for getting the wheel going and helping you to generate authentic self-worth.
• Develop an inner story where you view yourself as the successful, confident person you aspire to be through the use of visualization.
• Remember that you do not have to be perfect to be confident. We all know people who are very confident even when it may not seem totally deserved. 
• Start to cultivate confidence through writing and referencing your own personal badassery list where you give yourself credit for all of your capabilities and achievements

You have everything you need within yourself to be the confident badass you were always meant to be. Each time you step into the unknown and navigate it successfully, you will become more and more confident in your own abilities. So stop waiting around and start taking action!
