Confidence & Self-Assurance
Hey guys! Hope you guys are feeling good as you are reading this and if you are not in the best space I am hoping and praying you feel better. Keep in mind to allow yourself to continue to feel what you feel and that it is okay to not be okay. Be human and give yourself grace.
Speaking of giving yourself grace — it is something I have been struggling with as I have been trying to be more consisent with skating. Just to give you a little bit of background, I used to rollerskate as a kid but once I got older to my teenage years I stopped and just really haven’t skated in a really long time since I was about 15 years old. Two weeks ago, I brought some new skates and have been skating at the skating rink near me for consistently for the past weeks now. I have been going 4 times a week and it has truly been fun/helpful mentally. I will say though, I have been having some challenges with gaining confidence on the skates and trusting myself. I know it has been a while for me since I skated but just like everything else I am very hard on myself so trusting myself in anything I do takes time for me to gain and built. Facing these challenges with my confidence as of lately have truly been teaching me a few lessons about myself and how to trust myself. Getting a rhythm back in skating is not the easiest because its all about your balance and practice really. Trusting the process is not always something I keep in mind or follow but getting my rhythm back in skating has been making keep that in mind. Thankfully though, I have been able to have a couple of people help me master the basics and but I know things take time especially when its fresh and something new. I just have to keep in mind that practice makes perfect and patience is key.
I say all this to say that struggling with confidence I feel is a natural human thing that occurs more often than none in different moments in your life or things you might want to do in life such as hobbies, etc. Just keep on believing in yourself is all I can say as you try things. Life is all about trying new things and seeking out new things to keep you happy because we all know life is super stressful as is. My question to you this week, what are some things you do to keep your confidence in tact? I would love to know your thoughts and answers or even situations that you have or currently going through that has been testing your confidence.
Hope you guys have a good week! 💐
Peace yall,
Tay 💛✍🏾
