“I’ve got the promise of new possibilities pumping through me!” announces Leslie as she kicks off the New Year with a new episode and a self-confidence cheat sheet for you to cultivate more confidence in the year ahead. While the concept of more self-confidence feels like a reach for some, Leslie explains that it is available to anyone who is willing to make one simple change. And that change is not what you might think as the messaging about goals and “New Year, New You” floods our feeds and collective conversations.
All you have to do is to change the way you think about yourself. Not just happy thoughts, but deliberate thoughts that focus on your unique strengths and gifts only you can offer the world.
Too often, we suffer from what Leslie has coined “as soon as” syndrome. We think that as soon as we get that job, that dream partner, that promotion, then we have permission to feel good about ourselves. But actually, it’s the opposite. The more we believe in ourselves, the more that version of ourselves shows up in the world, along with the self-worth that comes with it.
Setting goals is a good thing. But you don’t have to wait to achieve them to become the best version of yourself. That change lies in the power of your thoughts, and you can change your thinking at this very moment!
Quotes:
- “As we start a new year, I want to offer you an approach that, when put into practice, allows you to create that potential and promise that perhaps you’re yearning for in the new year.” (3:25 | Leslie)
- “We’re bombarded with messaging of ‘New Year! New You!’ Like there’s a version 2.0 of you that does everything right, (right in air quotes). And when you do everything right, then you’ll feel the confidence needed to create what you want in the year ahead. Then you will feel worthy.” (4:16 | Leslie)
- “All that needs to change is your mindset.” (5:02 | Leslie)
- “The thoughts you think aren’t just the soundtrack in your mind. They are the compass of your life.”(6:10 | Leslie)
- “Believe you can do something and you will find the way. Believe in yourself and you won’t stop until it’s yours. Believe in yourself and you will forever have a friend on the journey to creating a life you love.” (6:19 | Leslie)
