Hey there, Friend. Today, I'm dispelling the myth that you can build confidence by faking it.
Once upon a time I believed this myth. I acted as though I knew what I was doing and felt completely comfortable in my own skin. Even though I didn't.
And guess what? It didn't work.
In fact, faking it made me feel like a fraud. I constantly wondered whether anyone could see through me. Leading me to feel even less confident.
Talk about creating a horrible cycle for myself.
Thanks to some wise words from a good friend, I eventually came to my senses and decided to drop the fake it till you make it mindset. Which required that I figure out how to build my confidence naturally - without faking it.
Sadly, I see clients (and friends) buying into the fake it till you make it mentality. Given that it's likely to lead to less confidence (not more) and extreme disappointment, I want to convince them to stop. And to adopt some techniques better suited to work for them.
Which leads to my latest YourTango article. In this article, you'll learn 6 ways to increase self-confidence. For real.

Once you've read the article, I ask that you share it with someone you think would benefit from it. Most of us can always use a bit more self-confidence.
All my best,
Heather
