\"Meditation<\/p>\n

Self-confidence is indicated by how strongly we believe in ourselves and in our ability to complete a task or speak up what we\u2019re thinking and feeling. It is an assuredness in ourselves for who we are.<\/p>\n

A confident person means what they say, and says what they mean.<\/p>\n

A confident person is not someone who has mastered all things, but rather, someone who is comfortable with failure, with process, with figuring things out on the fly as they go.<\/p>\n

How can meditation<\/a> help build confidence?<\/p>\n

Inner Noise<\/h2>\n

When we first are still and sit in meditation, it is common for us to hear all our inner riff-raff share their ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh man I didn\u2019t email that person back!\u201d
\u201cMy mom\u2019s birthday is next week \u2013 what am I doing for her gift?\u201d
\u201cI really messed up that report at work today, crap\u2026\u201d
\u201cHow long have I been meditating? This isn\u2019t working!\u201d<\/p>\n

and on and on.<\/p>\n

As we practice witnessing and not reacting to each of these thoughts, we start to discern which voices are really worth listening to, and which are just static.<\/p>\n

Right now, as you are reading this, your eyes are focused on these words.<\/p>\n

However, your eyes are also receiving signals from the rest of the screen as well as from the area around your computer or phone.<\/p>\n

But you are focusing on these words only, and though you are aware the other things are there, they turn into background noise that we filter out.<\/p>\n

This is what happens for us in meditation<\/a> with our own thoughts. We learn to discern what is really worth our attention and what is just noise.<\/p>\n

Inner Knowing<\/h2>\n

As we continue with our practice, the tinny, whiny, passerby voices reveal themselves as temporary wisps that talk a lot but actually have very little to say.<\/p>\n

What remains beyond their chatter is our deeper, truer voice.<\/p>\n

This voice is one that is always there. On some level, we always know about it, and always have known about it.<\/p>\n

It is the voice that may quietly throw up a fuss if we decide to date that person, take that job, or have that next drink that our passerby voices are suggesting.<\/p>\n

This is also the voice that knows we\u2019re in love.<\/p>\n

When questioned about our love, it doesn\u2019t need explanation. We just know.<\/p>\n

The answer isn\u2019t, \u201cWell, she buys me my favorite foods, and she is nice to my sister, and she has a cat, and her eyes are green\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer is beyond words. It just is. We KNOW it.<\/p>\n

Our true, deep, inner voice has staying power. While all the others come and go with their yips and nit-picky complaints, this voice never goes anywhere.<\/p>\n

Confidence<\/h2>\n

Listening to this deep, inner knowing is a sure-fire way to self-confidence.<\/p>\n

When we act on what our deepest knowing is telling us, our actions don\u2019t really need long justifications and drawn-out defenses.<\/p>\n

We simply know what we\u2019re doing is right.<\/p>\n

We just know it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a matter that you will sit in meditation and will be instantly confident in yourself.<\/p>\n

However, if you stick with the process, and let your thoughts fly around without hyper-reaction, your true, deep voice will be easier to discern.<\/p>\n

Listening to that voice brings about a peace that emanates out as true, solid confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
