Self-Confidence as a mind tool

Self-confidence has become the most explorable topic of stress management on the internet. Things that were common among people earlier have now become a stress factor. Why we have created such a complicated environment now? The world demands a lot of things from human beings that make us struggle with the outside world for being competent. While the process of competency endures, we tend to lose the self-confidence during the transition. Yes, building the competency is necessary for the sustenance, but at the same time, we always need to ensure whether we are losing ourselves in the process. The world never demands to be competent by losing ourselves in the flow. Maybe we are not aware of what the term means generally. Do we?

Self-confidence is one of the most important characteristics of any human being. It is all about how we trust our own acumen and potential, and that we value ourselves and feel ethical, regardless of any shortcomings or what the society may believe about us. While we are competing for the sustenance, we forget to be alert and conscious about our own thoughts. I recollect reading about "high-performance habits" wherein, it is mentioned that every thought we allow to enter in our mind should be sieved with acuity. Today, during this unfortunate pandemic, where we are being conscious of our health and also about what we allow inside our homes, it is also necessary to monitor and purge what we allow ourselves in mind too. Low-confidence is such a poisonous thing, that conquers us without our own recognition.

We get down to impress the opposite sex to fall into a relationship with that person. Every time we do it, we are making ourselves to be a part of the pool of available singles on earth which concomitantly doubt our own self-confidence and self-respect. The hardest truth that I listened from a podcast on relationships is to be an "asshole" in the approach! Seems terrific and strikes us like a thunder-bolt, isn't it? All it means that we need to be our own selves with self-esteem and aplomb in whatever we do. Gone are the days, where people fall for the opposite sex based on physical attraction alone. Now, the trend is to be independent and mentally attractive with the vibe you create with your presence. Let your infectious energy do the talking!
