Build My Confidence

The “Wonderful the Way I Am” Exercise

1. Make sure you have completed the “Know Myself” section of the courses. Once you are finished, write down the things that brought you confidence while completing the section.

2. According to Reece in the video, we each have things we will do, and will not do. What are these things for you? What challenges might you face while maintaining those barriers?

3. You know your story better than anyone else in the world. Take a few minutes to reflect on who you are and your funds of knowledge. Write a few reasons why the person the world sees be different may be different than the person you truly are.

4. Write down four things that motivate you to succeed on paper, and place reminders somewhere you will see them every single day. This could be a favorite quote, a picture of a sibling or friend, or even some symbolic object that reminds you of your true worth.

5. Pick a song that resonates with your story. Why does this song resonate with you, and how does it inspire and motivate you?

6. Have you willingly placed any obstacles for yourself or for others? Do you think you’ve created an environment surrounding you that helps you to be your best, and others to be their best?

7. Humility is not about denying your strengths, but realizing you aren’t perfect. None of us are. Sometimes we have to be weak before we can be strong again. Speak out loud, and say “I give myself permission to be human. I give myself permission to learn and grow. My limitations are a part of my reality, and I can overcome them.”
