Being trapped in anxiety, we easily, subconsciously, even if we don't want to admit it, would say we are... not valuable, not good enough, awkward, embarrassing, not interesting, not good with people, scared, anxious... And coming from that place, having those thoughts, yes, that's how we would feel. That's what we would be reinforcing. I felt like that for over a decade of my life because those were the thoughts I kept feeding. However, I reached a point where I had 2 decisions to make. Keep making my life worse, feel more anxious with time, or steer life in the direction of confidence. I chose to see for myself if change and confidence was possible and it worked! It worked because I kept moving in that direction until change became apparent. The same is possible for you if you decide to choose to unleash a different version of you. In order to unleash your confidence within, you must let yourself become someone different. Someone who views anxiety as just the gym through which a more powerful version of you is born.
