6 actions to build monster confidence in yourself when you feel the world's against you

•

I used to be bullied to no end • for the way I looked • for the interests I had • for my family's background Until I learned 6 actions to build monster confidence Do these when you feel the world's against you

1. Laugh When I got picked on I'd get SO upset If I didn't lash out I'd run home, up the stairs, slam the door shut, and steam or cry for hours I let their actions get to me And it wasn't until I learned to control and direct my emotions that I began to see this clearly...

Bullying triggers the inferior in all of us But if you know yourself You'll see right through a coward's lie Don't take what they say personally Laughter is a sign of strong confidence And those kind of lies are funny But if you still feel emotional, do this...

2. Bet on your flaws Since I was young, I got told • I looked weird or ugly • I was super odd and didn't fit in • I wasn't skilled enough to compete And for years, this used to eat at me constantly I was never happy looking at myself Until I realized this...

Some people will always look at your shortcomings And they will think they're "helping" you Don't accept that help "Imperfections" point to your gifts They're the other side of the same coin Because if you flip it, you have a strength Never water down or ignore your power

3. Unleash your fire Society will tell you • Play nice • You're a precious snowflake • If you're hurt you're oppressed I listened and I felt trapped This BS makes you easier to control The truth is raw power is scary And YOU have it So what you need to do is 2 things...

A Keep things in perspective B. Leverage your emotions Remember, if you feel emotional by what others say There's some truth to it And if you don't want that to be true about you You need to get hyped up about proving them wrong Take responsibility and go for what you want

4. Fall in love with what you have I used to constantly feel ashamed about who I was I was a brown girl living in a culture that • Discriminated me • Stereotyped me • Exoticized me And I always felt inferior to those that weren't Until this happened...

I asked myself what it would be like to admire and have pride in my heritage What could I do to pass on a legacy? This mindset changes you to realize you're never without Learn to appreciate your • upbringing • hardships • tragedies Not doing so is a hallmark of immaturity

5. Pour positive attention into yourself Listening to so many voices say negative things to me ended up getting embedded I then started to talk exactly like them I'd spent too long looking at what I lacked That it began to poison what I had But this one thing changed it all

I replaced my negative self-talk I made a daily practice of listening and writing positive affirmations down People don't realize this fact... Your brain is desperate for positive attention from you Once you give it to yourself Your world starts to reflect it in multitudes

6. Strive to be one of the greats I used to try things out and get rejected And I felt that was it for me But it's not The reality is, you haven't built the skills to give anyone a reason to be interested in you And this is something you can change with two things:

Discipline and consistency What's the smallest thing you can do that can stack up and make a huge difference? Do that. Don't stop. Success always comes in iterations If you start now while looking back on what you've done It's always a massive confidence booster
