The #1 Way I Built My Confidence : Terri

The #1 Way I Built My Confidence

True confidence in an inside job.

Your life will never change until your thinking changes.

How do we change our thinking?
Where do you start?

Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
-Romans 12:2

Its a two step process.
1. You have get rid of that old way of thinking.
2. And fill up with a whole new way of thinking about yourself, about your future, about where you are headed, about your potential.

We have to overcome deception.

How do we do that?

The entrance of God's Word brings light.
-Psalm 119:130

Every time you hear the Word, a light goes on in your mind.

Faith comes by hearing.

You start believing in yourself a little more, through a steady diet of hearing the Word of God.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

The other thing I want to share with you is about praying confidently.

6:42
God is my constant companion.
-Psalm 23

I had to just set a goal for myself to start hearing the Word of God consistently.

God is the cure for the insecure.

How to ID Deception : Terri

This month I've been talking about tailor-made temptations.

1:48 to 3:10 80%.

The greener the grass, the greater the deception.

Don't become entangled again with the yoke of bondage you once put off.
-Galatians 5:1

1. Guard your heart with all diligence.

The way you guard your heart is guarding your 5 physical senses.
You have to guard what you allow your eyes to see, ears to listen to, your mouth to taste, your hands to touch, your nose to smell.
Guard those things as if your life depends on it. Why? Because it does.

2. Keep your spirit fed.

You have a flesh and you have a spirit.
And whoever you feed the most, is gonna make the decisions in your life.
If you continue in my Word, then are you my disciplined ones, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
-John 8:31-32
Get on a plan to hear the Word of God at least once a day.
Do something to build your spirit, so you make spirit led decisions.

Thank you Ms. Terri!!!

Be YOURSELF - (Whoopi Goldberg) : Evan Carmichael

Common Goal Setting Pitfalls and How to Fix Them : Terri

Sheila's Goals

Common goal setting pitfalls:

1. Your goals aren't in writing.
Michael Jackson
'When the vision is clear, the results will appear.'

2. Your goals are too vague.
'Vague goals produce vague results.'
Your mind has nothing to target when you are vague about your goals.

3. You have too many goals.
'If you aim at too many targets, you miss all of them.'

4. Your goals have no deadline.

5. Your goals are out of sight.
'Out of sight, out of mind.'

(People with goals succeed, because they know where they are going.)

How to Build Confidence | Robin Sharma

How to Build Confidence:

Confidence is a practice. Confidence is a muscle.

1. Study the alchemy.
Even just labelling a setback as a failure, triggers something into your mindset to release cortisol, the fear hormone, which blocks your best performance.
Study the alchemy, which is, where other people are seeing a failure or a setback or even a little problem, you want to look for the gold, you want to train your brain.
You want to practice seeing the setback or the dark time as fuel to leverage your growth.
If you are experiencing some kind of setback, whether it's large or tiny, you want to train your brain to see the treasure within the lead.

2. Flow with the seasons.
A life beautifully lived is a series of seasons.
Stop resisting the natural seasons of life.

3. Bulletproof your TBTF.
(Tight bubble of total focus)
Nothing toxic, nothing distracting, no interruptions can get in.
How do you get to flow?

4. Understand that the brain has a natural negativity bias.
You simply focus on where you are winning.
I cursed the fact I had no shoes, until I saw the man who had no feet.
-Persian proverb

5. Stop comparing.
Here's the reality, "Almost every single one of us alive today, we're struggling, we're struggling with something, we're struggling with a job issue, a financial issue, a health issue, a relationship issue, a spiritual issue.
We're all just trying to figure it out. We all have something we want to work on in our lives.
That's the human journey.
Stop comparing your life, because you know what, everyone has something that they are working on.
