Is there a secret to confidence building? I think there is…We’ve all felt our confidence waiver. How can we get our confidence back? Or in the first place?! Confidence can elude us at times. But today, I am going to share with you the work that I give to clients in my chair seeking a confidence boost. Mostly, you need a bit of mindset shift, and a couple thought tweaks and BAM! A new, confident you! Spoiler alert: My clients rarely find these tips intuitive. The secret may really surprise you!**In this episode we will learn: **Defining confidence: What is means and does *not *mean and how we can get this to work *for *us. ~What we can learn from middle schoolers (!) about confidenceHow true confidence can create a whole new outlook on life~ Imposter Syndrome and how to let it go~Ham Sah meditationJoin Cheri Flake on her next Meditation and Yoga retreat!In the MOUNTAINS: )https://thestresstherapist.com/retreats/)At the BEACH: )https://thestresstherapist.com/beach-retreats/) Love the show?

This gives you this beautiful freedom to act and be and go after whatever it is you want and whoever it is you truly are and whatever really lights your fire and brings you joy. It’s actually kind of a relief!”-Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW“That “weird” thing about you, that thing you don't like, that horrible thing that happened to you, whatever it is. It's all beautiful because it's made you exactly who you are today…A beautiful and holy and divine creation and creator. So, own it. Just be who you are. Don't worry about it being arrogant. You didn't create you. You can't take credit for it. So just go ahead and be the beautiful creation that you were intended to be.”-Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSWInteresting mentions: **The Reluctant Medium Podcast *Website: https://drmariarothenburger.com/)Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmaria_lpc) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMariaRothenburger/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarialpc/)YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thereluctantmedium*Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/DrMariaLPC/_created/) ******Return to Love *** and other Books, quotes and teachings by *Marianne Williamson www.marianne.com) The Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSWThe Stress Therapist and Author* Twitter: @stresstherapy**Instagram*: @thestresstherapist Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheriaugustineflake)Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheri-augustine-flake-719b044)Website: https://thestresstherapist.com/)YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thestresstherapist) ****Stay in touch with Cheri: https://thestresstherapist.com/contact/) ********Join Cheri Flake on her next retreat! https://thestresstherapist.com/retreats/) https://thestresstherapist.com/beach-retreats/) ********Want Cheri Flake to be your therapist?
