This week's episode is about self worth. Special guest, Larisa Dalton, shares with us that we are born with self worth and it never leaves us. We've just been taught to unlearn that we are worthy. Larisa shares advice and tips on how we can truly start to rediscover our worth. Larisa is a certified confidence coach who helps women overcome self-doubt and empowers them to accomplish their goals. Make sure to follow Larisa on Instagram @larisa_dalton and check out her website larisadalton.com. Larisa has her own podcast called Diaries of a Life Coach. Make sure to check it out after this episode! QUOTES “Confidence refers to a belief in a person's ability. It's related to competency and self efficacy. As your competence increases, your confidence increases.” [5:10] – Larisa Dalton “The problem with confidence is that if we base feelings of worth on competence and achievement, we fail…there is no worth. Worth on the other hand is your spiritual chords, like your spirit. When you are born, you are born with it. You are born worthy.” [5:35] – Larisa Dalton “Worth is more of an intellectual thing. You have to just believe that you're born and you're borth with worth. And it's hard but affirmations can be a very powerful tool in building that belief. It's that spirit. It's that liveliness in us that makes us worthy.” [7:09] – Larisa Dalton “I think of worth as a seed. You are born with all the potential. So when I look at self esteem, I look at it in three components: your worth, your love and development. That makes up your self esteem….that really is in this analogy is the soil. You take that seed and you plant it in the soil. The development part, the third component, is the fruit. The fruit reflects what was inside that seed or reflects our worth.” [9:11] – Larisa Dalton “If you don't see yourself as valuable, as deserving, as important, why would you love yourself?” [15:57] – Larisa Dalton If you enjoyed this episode, please spread the love!

You don't have to change a single thing about yourself to be confident! In today's episode, your host Meagan Fitzgerald gives you insight on boosting your internal confidence and how to leave people-pleasing behind. She explains alternative ways to think about self-confidence and two easy strategies to help you become your most confident self.  Meagan explains three important thoughts that will help you embrace your self-confidence and allow you to feel like yourself. She preaches that confidence is a choice. You can be confident exactly as you are without changing anything, and that not standing up as your true self is the ultimate act of people-pleasing. She encourages people to feel their feels and move forward anyway. Tune into this week's episode of Resting Bliss Face with your host Meagan Fitzgerald to learn about letting go of fear and embracing your inner confident queen! Learn simple strategies to improve your self-confidence and live your best authentic life.   Quotes • “Confidence is a choice. It probably doesn't feel that way, but there is no confidence gene that you are just born with or without. This is something you can change.” (3:50-4:09) • “It is possible to be confident exactly as you are. At your exact weight, your income level, your relationship status, your fitness level, your new mom status, your IQ, whatever. You can be confident right now, this second, without changing one thing about you.” (4:57-5:14)  • “I don't like everyone, why do I need everyone to like me? I don't. I don't even have the capacity to work with everyone or be everyone's friend. So why the hell would I even try to appeal to everyone. Can't do it. It's impossible to have everybody like you. What if playing small and not standing up as your true self was the ultimate act of people-pleasing?” (6:46-7:30) • “It is safe to be seen. It is safe to be heard. It is safe to be me.” (10:12-10:15)   Links Connect with Meagan!  Website | meaganfitzgerald.com/allthethings  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/megfitz.gerald/  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/thrivebodyproject/  Pinterest | https://www.pinterest.com/meagan_fitzgerald/    Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm 

Imagine you’re at an event or in an elevator, and you get introduced to a VIP that you’re honored to meet. Then they ask that dreaded question: Tell me about yourself. The typical default is to respond with your name, title, employer and work focus, right? Imagine you no longer have that job or title. How would you tell your story? When we’re asked to introduce ourselves, we often miss the opportunity to share our story in a powerful way that makes us stand out and highlights our unique value proposition. Instead, we respond to that question with our work history that explains our WHAT but not our WHY. In this episode, you’ll meet Lisa Gates, a leadership and career story coach, and founder of Story Happens Here, a practice focused on helping women master their brand stories, control their narratives, and rise up. Lisa is committed to helping women be seen, heard, promoted—and rewarded—as the agents of change the workplace and the world is dying to see. Lisa stresses the importance of being able to morph your story for any situation that you are in. And how your story isn’t a one-time thing but rather a living breathing story that can always change. Lisa has also authored several online courses available at LinkedIn Learning, including Asking for a Raise, Negotiation Foundations, Conflict Resolution Foundations, Coaching and Developing Employees, and Coaching for Results.   Highlights: [02:50] Lisa’s story [09:21] The key to building your story [12:57] Techniques for overcoming fears and limiting beliefs [19:46] Overcoming failures and setbacks [24:23] Making decisions with confidence [27:46] Gaining access to influential leaders [30:00] Lisa’s daily success habits [33:48] Advice on staying ahead of the curve   Quotes: “Confidence comes from repetition, practice, and advocating for yourself and others.” – Lisa Gates  “Be diligent about spending time every week cultivating your influence.” - Lisa Gates  “If it’s not on your calendar, it’s not going to happen.” – Lisa Gates  “You will forget something you learn in about three days if you don’t start to implement it.” – Lisa Gates    About Lisa Gates: Lisa is a leadership and career story coach, and founder of Story Happens Here, a practice focused on helping women master their brand stories, control their narratives, and rise up.

In this episode: Getting good at complimenting yourself Making frequent confidence bucket deposits Choosing things that challenge you Consistently upgrading your thoughts Hey girl! I am so pumped you are here today because this episode is so IMPORTANT!  This episode was sparked by something that I find really interesting, but also really heartbreaking, which is that we as women find it so difficult to compliment ourselves. We can rattle off our flaws without a second thought, but too often when we are asked about our strengths & what we LOVE about ourselves, we struggle to point those out. Confidence is often portrayed as this thing someone is just born with, like a natural trait some people have, when in reality confidence is LEARNED. This is such an important topic & today I really wanted to dive into a few ways that have helped me personally to build self-confidence. I know you are going to love this one & hope you share it with someone who could get something out of it too!   Quotes: “Confidence builds from honoring the promises that you make to yourself.” “I think it’s really difficult to feel low confidence or just to feel low or sad if you’re helping someone else build their confidence or build their happiness.” “If you are doing your best, that is always enough. And then, when you know better you do better… beating yourself up is not going to build confidence.” “There is a future more confident version of you who is so damn proud of you right now for the work that you’re putting in to just keep getting better.”  Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?

Gwen Fox, a professional artist, instructor, and coach, joins the show to talk about building confidence. We discuss the difference between a belief and a truth, silencing our inner critic, how to overcome setbacks and deal gracefully with unwanted commentary. Gwen shares some of her own affirmations and gives specific ways in which we can use goal setting and visualization to create a life we may have never even dreamt was possible.   In this interview, you will Gwen hear talk about: What you can do when your confidence is dashed, and how perfectionism and negative self-talk doesn’t help. Why some people appear more confident than others, and where confidence doesn’t come from. Why it’s crucial to surround yourself with those that give you confidence. Gwen’s personal experience of an authority figure questioning her intellectual capabilities, and how she finally shed the belief of not being “smart enough” that plagued her for years. The difference between beliefs and truths, and how to acknowledge and then silence your inner critic. Why so many artists suffer from the imposter syndrome, and how to combat it. How the words you choose to describe yourself shape the entire creative process. Examples of affirmations that Gwen herself uses for success and confidence. How Gwen looks at failure and mistakes as learning lessons and highways to success. The two best words you could ever ask yourself: “what if”. The importance of using visualization, affirmations, and goal setting as tools to shape confidence and release your artistic voice into the world. Why Gwen fully believes we produce better art when we are kind to ourselves.   Resources: Gwen Fox   Quotes: “Confidence is a mindset.” “Creating comes from your soul, and it’s where you reveal the deep, intimate side of yourself.” “Your creativity is what is so important. No one has your voice.” “What we feed ourselves mentally is what we bring about.” “The most important real estate in the world is the 6 inches between your ears.” “Know that failure is an event, it is not personal.”     *** This episode is brought to you by the Art Biz Inner Circle.

I would guess that when you first launched your business you felt isolated, lost, and on your own. It’s okay, I did too. Deciding how to advertise, what to charge, and how to get on your feet is new and uncertain ground. You might have felt pressured to be the best out there and stand out among all the competition right out of the gate. I bet that was exhausting! Today, Jeff Pickett is going to share some great lessons he learned when he got started to help you navigate your own journey. Jeff is the founder of Media by JP in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where he does video production for commercial social media content and weddings. Before recently reinventing his professional life as a video producer, Jeff worked in healthcare marketing and restaurants. Now Jeff makes videos that get right to the emotional heart of his subjects. In this interview, Jeff talks about how he transitioned to video production after working for years in other fields.

Why do we struggle with that so much? But that’s really the big piece that I needed. I needed to know that I was valued.” [17:06] “I think that there is something really tangible to providing emotional branding versus just ‘buy, buy, buy.’” [29:55] “You gotta take time out to celebrate, but then you gotta get your head back in the game and you just have to keep thinking about how can I get better and better.” [37:17] “When you hit a struggle, brainstorm all the different ways you can get around that and over that. Talk to other people, marinate on it, sleep on it, and then come back to it. The solution, often times will come.”  [54:25]   Links: Build A Better Video Business With Our Exclusive Studio Sherpa Community Jeff’s Website Follow Jeff on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Vimeo Watch Jeff’s viral video Schoppert’s Piano Gallery Relentless by Tim S.

You’re listening to Mindfulness Weekends with Bruce Langford. Today I’m talking about confidence. I think confidence is like a tide going in and out, in and out. This is how I used to feel anyway. Some days pumped up, ready to go, feeling like the world was mine, other days, a lot more on the opposite side. More like, a little discouragement creeping in, a little frustration. You get the picture. As human beings, that voice in our head can do surprising things to our emotions. In the last few years, I realize that more and more, and now I’m ready for it. I’m in charge. As I sat down just now, I had a confidence flash. What I mean is, I thought of the word confidence and a precise moment in time popped into my head. It was a few years ago. I was in real estate. Not much was selling because the interest rates at the time were high. I can tell you; I went through some discouraging days in that profession. But I stuck with it, for awhile anyway and I did my thing. One day a woman called the office, and it was my turn to the take the call. She was calling about a specific home. She’d noticed the ‘for sale’ sign went on the lawn, so she phoned in right away. I chatted with her and made an appointment to show the house on the following Saturday. After the call, I did my research. I set up a time to show her the home, which was modest side split in a pleasant area of town, not far from the west end subdivision of Westmount, which was a highly desired area at the time. I also found two other homes to show her, which in my opinion were quite comparable. The day came, and I realized I had some nervous excitement happening. I wasn’t familiar with the term mindfulness back, then, I don’t even know if it was used much, but I did know I wanted to be calm and collected when I showed the properties. I remember sitting in my car when I arrived at the office and deciding to take five minutes or so to close my eyes, take some quiet breaths and think about good things. Thinking back, I likely visualized this woman, buying the house, but after this number of years, I’m not totally sure whether I was into visualizing or not. I know I listened to a lot of sales training talks on cassette tapes, and I learned a lot of strategies that I didn’t know till later, would be considered mindfulness. Anyway, I showed the lady the houses, and the one she had originally called me about was the third one. She was a quiet woman, with brown hair, kind of softly flowing around her face. She explained to me that she had inherited some money and had decided she loved this area, and it was in her price range. She had seen a number of houses with an agent in another company, but, she told me, she really didn’t feel comfortable with that particular agent. She walked around the home, casually looking around in the various rooms. She said, I just like to get the feel of the place. She’d go to the center of a room, give herself a little shake, close her eyes and smile a bit. It was like she was absorbing the vibes of the house. She told me, “This feels right. I want to buy it. Can you fill out the papers for me?” We talked about an offer price and right then and there, I completed the paperwork; she signed, and off she went with a big smile on her face. “I’m so happy she said.” And you’re just the right kind of real estate agent for me. Not too pushy. You get me,” she explained. I had no idea a sale could be this easy. I felt an immediate rush of confidence, joy, and satisfaction. She drove away, I gathered up my papers and picked up my briefcase. I was so ecstatic; I felt light on my feet as I walked down the driveway. Seeing that no cars were coming, I started to run across the street to my car. Right now I can taste that exact moment in my mind. Suddenly, I was jolted into reality. My briefcase went flying and landed on the pavement. I was still holding the handle; it had broken off the case, and I was standing there feeling a little sheepish, a little embarrassed. I quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching and I didn’t see anybody. I scooped up the case and held it tight under my arms as I continued to walk to my car. I was so glad it hadn’t burst open. Somehow I immediately thought this was a lesson to me. I had been feeling maybe a little too confident, or too proud, and it was like I was being given a lesson when that case came flying through the air, me standing there holding the handle in surprise. I didn’t think of it in terms of, ‘the universe’ sending me a lesson at that time, I just remember thinking, somehow this was a lesson. “Bruce, you need to act more like a professional, more like how a real estate agent is supposed to act. Imagine what someone would have thought if they had seen you, a real estate agent, just having sold a house, acting like a kid, gleefully running across the street? Totally unacceptable.” Now I know this was my inner voice scolding me. I was certainly well aware of the message I was getting from that inner voice, or I wouldn’t be sitting her right now, remembering this event in such detail. I mean there are some details I don’t remember very well, but so much of its crystal clear. Maybe I was mindful back then. Maybe my mindset was in the right place, and I simply allowed this whole event to happen, without stressing about it, without worrying what might happen if she didn’t buy the house. Hard to believe this was twenty-nine years ago. Anyway, Mindful Tribe, I hope you can take this little event of mine, and use it to help yourself, as I say, reach new heights of calm, focus, and happiness. Stay in the mode. Send me an email, bruce@mindfulnessmode.com and tell me an activity you did in the past which made you a more mindful person.
