If you’re reading this, if there’s air in your lungs on this November day, then there is still hope for you. Your story is still going. And maybe some things are true for all of us. Perhaps we all relate to pain. Perhaps we all relate to fear and loss and questions. And perhaps we all deserve to be honest, all deserve whatever help we need. Our stories are all so many things: Heavy and light. Beautiful and difficult. Hopeful and uncertain. But our stories aren’t finished yet. There is still time, for things to heal and change and grow. There is still time to be surprised. We are still going, you and I. We are stories still going.

[wordsnquotes]

I’m tired and a little distressed and I work too hard and too long …and I feel like I could be doing more but I’m tired, and frustrated, and a little distressed, and I have to type and make a list and remind myself I’m doing my best. You are doing your best. You are doing your best. You are doing your best. You are doing your best. You are doing your best. You are doing your best.

Have a mantra - I remember finding my stepmother’s self-talk cassette when I was in high school. I popped it into my boom box and immediately burst-into a fit of giggling at the sound of her voice, “I am enough. I am beautiful. I am capable [repeat].” I didn’t understand the concept of mantras at the time. I even thought it was plain silly. But as I’ve watched her change and grow throughout the years, I often think back on that day with humility. There is a reason people practice mantras; they do work. You don’t have to record yourself, write yourself a note and stick it on your computer screen to keep yourself on track. Take a course - Each time I take a writing course, my confidence is reborn. There is always something to learn; this approach applies to any industry. If you feel like you’re capable at the technical side of your job, there may be another subject you want to study: emotional intelligence, marketing, management, conflict resolution, and the list goes on. Never stop learning. Not only will this help you with confidence, but it will keep your mind fresh as well. Give yourself permission to be great - Sometimes there are deep-seeded issues that cause us to hold negative judgments about ourselves. Once you identify the psychological barriers holding you back, you can let go of them. When it comes to your work, no one else is going to lose anything when you start showing up as the confident, competent person you know you are. In fact, it is just the opposite. As you start showing up fully, the people around you will become motivated to do better as well.
