Perfection can be crippling because it feels unattainable, especially long-term. Consistent self-discipline will not only get you results, it will increase your self-confidence. You need to learn to trust yourself, and that starts with your daily choices and decisions, because it's not just others who are worth your time and efforts - you are worth showing up for too.

It's often easy to show up for others, keep our word and be praised for our efforts. But when it comes to keeping our commitments to ourselves, it's often the easiest thing to delay or break. You are arguably your most important investment. Learning to practice self-discipline is one of the greatest strengths you can exercise as you grow.

Rest is often viewed as weakness. It can be tempting to adopt this belief and try to push yourself as hard as possible to be increasingly productive and present. Productivity and presence are important, but their quality and your happiness skyrocket when you take care of yourself. Learning the importance of rest and that your worth is not tied to what you can do for others is one of the most mature lessons you can learn.

It's tempting to think that because you're busy, you must be important. Busy is not the goal. Learning to rest your mind and body is one of the wisest, most mature things you can do. When we are too stressed and tired, we become more irritable, sick, and unhappy. A healthy boundary to practice is in your schedule, learning to include intentional rest.

Boundaries are necessary to help you protect your peace. Even if others don't understand or like them, if you are implementing them to help you feel safe and increase your confidence - you need to hold to them for your sake. You do not need to continue to explain your rational or stance unless you want to, because this is your life that you are responsible for, so you need to find peace and have confidence in your decision and choices.

Over-explaining is a common habit, but comes from a place of insecurity. The more we can have confidence in who we are and all we're becoming, the more we can show up confidently in our life and relationships. Healthy boundaries allow us to create guardrails for our thoughts, emotions, time management, and overall habits. They help guide us towards our goals and to be who we want to be. Boundaries are not selfish, but in fact are one of the most respectful, mature, loving things we can do for ourselves and others. You don't need to explain yourself when it comes to your boundaries, but you do need to hold true to your values and practices to continue to be all you're meant to be.

The way people treat us can affect our self-confidence and worth. You are not what they say or how they treat you. You are capable, confident, and amazing. Everyone is fighting battles we know nothing about. The sooner we can see people's actions for what they are, acting out in misbehavior - the sooner we can heal, and offer grace, patience, and walkaway confidently in peace.

Not all childish ways get left in our childhood. Unfortunately, one of the things that many still experience in their adulthood is bullying. Bullying is never ok, no matter which end you're on - giving or receiving. Knowing your worth, that the behavior is unacceptable and really a reflection of the bully's struggles - we need to talk about healthy ways to handle and process it so it doesn't affect our confidence and growth.

Overwhelm and stress are sneaky, and will always try to work themselves into our life. Although we can't completely avoid them, having the tools to recognize and quickly work through them is powerful.

Being "always on" or available is not healthy. People love it because it serves them, but I would argue it does more harm than good - for others and yourself.

None of us are perfect, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work on improving. Change is uncomfortable, but it is within your control - which is exciting, and also scary. If you want to see your life and relationships improve, you need to commit to being uncomfortable to work on your blind spots. When we improve our life, it improves others' as well. It's another way of loving the people in our life, but modeling what's possible and becoming better - for ourselves, and them too.

Friendships are one of the most amazing things in life to me. How er can meet people throughout our life, connect so naturally and deeply - it's often like we're really family. Like any relationship though, friendships take effort. If you want good friends, you need to be a good friend. How you show up matters. How you're available matters. How you treat others, trust them, invest in them and their lives - it all matters.

Friendship is similar to dating, it takes time and effort. The big gestures are fun, but friendship is really built in-between the fun, celebratory moments. Making friends often reminds me of The Golden Rule, treat others the way you want to be treated. When it comes to friendship, be the type of friend to others that you want in your life. Whether you feel you're struggling to make friends or simply want more quality friends, presence and reciprocity will help get you there.

Excuses are dangerous. They can quickly become a habit that causes disbelief and distrust, among others and ourselves questioning our reliability and character. The sooner we commit to not choosing excuses and acting maturely, the sooner we can improve our planning, address the situation, and be honest about that is happening and what needs to improve. We have more power and control over our situations than we think, but we have to first start by making better choices - to prepare, and be honest.

Having support in life can make such a difference, with confidence and assurance. Not feeling supported can also have an impactful effect, making us doubt and question ourselves. Whether or not you feel supported can have a lot to do with your personal belief and perspective, your willingness to share and open up to invite others in, and how much you rely on others for your decision-making. Today we're diving into the reality of others' comments, our need for building our personal confidence and assurance, and how to better support those we care about too.

Just because something seems complex, confusing, overwhelming, difficult, or involved does not make it better. Simple can be better and should be our goal. As Albert Einstein said, "if you can't explain it simple, you don't understand it well enough." We need to keep the main thing the main thing, as Stephen Covey says in his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (linked below). Don't get tricked into trying to do everything and it needing to be stressful and overwhelming all the time. Do what you are meant to well, and keep it simple - for everyone's sake.
