🚷 How many times you put YOUR needs as your last priority? 🚷

I often see successful professionals coming to a huge burnout because of a constant deprioretization of their own needs over the long periods of time.

I also see them losing any interest in their careers, relationships and life in general.

Reasons of this burnout could be different, but here are the common similarities:

1. The benchmark has been set unreasonably high
2. Chasing the success expecting that it will fill the emptiness inside
3. The reality appeared to be very different to their expectations

Whenever you are in your journey, take a moment to pause and ask yourself a very simple question:

“Why I’m doing what I am doing?”

And if the answer isn’t – because I love it. Then something is wrong.

Positive affirmations can have a huge impact on your life if practiced regularly! 🤩

These are 10 strongest affirmations to attract Confidence and Abundance to your life! 💪🏼🔥

Feel free to grab them and use for your daily routine 👇🏼

1️⃣ Whatever I do, I do it confidently as it comes from my values, authenticity & heart

2️⃣ Wherever I go, I attract friendly, wise & prosperous people who are willing to collaborate with me

3️⃣ Whenever I am, I always have enough support, resources & opportunities to be my best

Do you believe in affirmations? Which impact does it have on your life?

I see a lot of people sometimes trying to use existing information as an ultimate truth and thus limit themselves!

E.g.: One of my current clients is convinced that he isn’t going to be a successful entrepreneur because he has failed previously two times!

The pattern is that we willingly jump in to conclusion and put a NEGATIVE LABEL on ourselves very easily!

It simply because our brains want us to save energy so it’s easier to categorise something with less mental effort.

But the downside can be disastrous! 😱

Just imagine if Steve Jobs giving up trying to push through his ideas after seeing no evidence of success!

📌 So when you are labelling negatively yourself next time, your brain is simply saving energy rather than stating the truth!

But what is the truth?

I’ll tell you a secret… 🤫

👉🏼You are the one creating your own truth!

✅ Think about a Manager who got promoted simply because he started to embody the managerial mindset prior his promotion!

Remember:

➡️TO WIN IN LIFE, YOU NEED TO WIN IN YOUR HEAD FIRST!

🚫 So there is no ultimate truth about you!

Moreover there are no limits 🌀

Is there anything about you that you believe is true that limits you?

🙋🏻‍♂️ Confident Leader vs Insecure Leader 🙅🏻‍♂️

You can spot the difference by looking at these 3 behaviors:

1️⃣CONTROL

🙅🏻‍♂️Insecure leader is in total control of his team as he’s chosen weak employees who can’t stand up for themselves. He keeps his power by using fear & punishment

🙋🏻‍♂️Confident leader doesn’t feel threatened by his team & encourage different opinions. He trusts his team by default & try to avoid any micromanagement

2️⃣BLAMING & TAKING CREDIT

🙅🏻‍♂️Insecure leader blames his team even publicly. He never admits that he is at fault & does maximum efforts to protect his reputation. He eagerly takes credit for other’s achievements

🙋🏻‍♂️Confident leader takes full responsibility for the mistakes of his team & never blames someone publicly. He proudly promotes his team & celebrates their wins as his own

3️⃣TRANSPARENCY

🙅🏻‍♂️Insecure leader creates a mysterious aura about his internal cuisine. He’s extremely protective & convinces everyone that only he can deal with it. No one really knows what he does

🙋🏻‍♂️Confident leader is transparent & willing to share. He doesn’t feel threatened by other departments & creates a collaborative environment. Everyone likes cooperating with him

What else you can add to this?

Every new suffering, every next challenge is your opportunity for growth.

Whatever you’re going through, reflect on how this can make you stronger.

🔺Stronger leader.
🔺Better entrepreneur.
🔺Wiser family man.

Your challenges might help you to:

– Grow a bigger belief in yourself
– Be even more committed to your project
– Embrace an uncertainty and your new you
– Or let go your Past

🌟Everything happens for a reason.

Celebrate your challenges and grow from them!

To build your Confidence at work let’s explore Top 3 situations that keep you “small”:

1️⃣ You are not speaking your mind ❌

All your brilliant ideas die in your head because you are either not sharing them or not promoting them enough. Basically you’re simply executing without contributing your own insights

✅ Solution: Be more opinionated and share your ideas even if you aren’t sure how they come across

2️⃣ You are saying “yes” to too many things ❌

There’s always too much “on your plate”. You are always super busy and working long hours including weekends. It’s hard for you to say “no” and reject other inquiries

✅ Solution: Stop trying to keep everyone happy. Follow your own priorities that are confirmed with your Manager

3️⃣ Your focus is only on your daily routine ❌

Your mind is occupied with daily tasks and you don’t spend much time thinking about the future. When changes happen it’s hard for you to adapt to the new way of working

✅ Solution: Keep yourself up to date with the strategical plans of your company and reflect on how your role can be helpful

All these situations are 100% manageable and by addressing them you’ll see the radical improvement of your Confidence!
