I discuss the 5 ways to adrenalize your self confidence:

1. Determine your locus of control.

We either have an internal or external locus of control. We have an external locus of control when we are controlled by something outside of ourselves. We are influenced by what others do, believe, and say about us. When we look at social media, for example, we are influenced by what is going on in other people’s lives and we assume that we lack something because the perception is that the other person has it. We feel badly about ourselves when we have an external locus of control.

2. Love yourself by staying true to your values.

When we understand what we value and learn to love ourselves, we develop the context of our confidence. Loving yourself is not easy for many people, but it is essential to living confidently.  How do we develop our love of self?

3. Stop comparing yourself to others.

Social media places our comparison to others in a very prominent spot. We scroll through social media constantly. It is incredibly difficult to resist the urge to compare.

4. Hold yourself accountable.

One of the most important steps to adrenalizing your self-confidence is to hold yourself accountable. Accountability is about integrity. It’s recognizing your responsibility in a situation.   It’s knowing that you can take responsibility for your actions.  

5. Surround yourself with positive people.

Surround yourself with people who build you up and validate what you believe about yourself.  The people in your life should encourage you to go further. They should bring out your desire to grow and be the best version of you. When you are surrounded by people like this, it develops a healthy external locus of control.

We also discuss imposter syndrome.
