Have you ever allowed what someone says about you influence what you think about yourself? Do you believe you have less worth or more worth based on what other people say about you? We cannot outsource our thoughts about ourself to someone else. It just doesn't work. The second problem with this is that when you outsource what you believe about you, you never will find peace. Other people have different life expectations and they have different experiences that influence how they interpret their world and you in the world they're in. So outsourcing your opinion of yourself to what other people think about you can be confusing and cause us to feel insecure or doubt our own abilities. On the other hand, when you take responsibility for the thoughts that you have, the feelings you have about yourself and about the world around you, you ultimately take responsibility by taking and managing your thoughts and managing your feelings, you get to manage the result in your life and how you feel. Your self-esteem will not be dependent on how others react to you or what someone else thinks about you. Then you also stop fearing what other people think as much because you realize, oh, I'll be okay. Even if someone thinks something bad about me, it's okay. They are allowed to have their opinions. They may keep those opinions indefinitely, and they may change those opinions over time as they watch you grow. When you begin creating more belief in yourself and your confidence grows, then you grow. I've learned to let go of what other people think of me, and I can help you do that too. I help people uncover doubts that they've developed, that prevent them from truly connecting to other people.  I have helped kids as young as 12 years old, and there are women in their seventies that I've helped peel back layers and layers of walls that they've built over the years. I can tell you no matter. How many layers you have or how much in your head that you're stuck with, you can do it.  You can become a more confident version of yourself. You can let go of what your mom or your dad have said about you or believe about you, or what you believe they believe about you. You can finally forgive a friend for what they did or said or how they hurt you and.  If you're listening to this and you are someone who outsources your belief in yourself and your value to other people, you need to hop on a call with me. The longer you wait, the more problems that you'll have and the longer you will struggle With this. I want to help you have less frustration and struggle with your relationships. Open yourself up to having deeper connection and not being scared of connection due to things that have happened, or people have things that people have said in your past. There is a way that you can live in this life without doing that outsourcing of your value. Email me at heather@hcedwardscoaching.com. Grab Your Freebies:The best planner you will ever use!
