In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, I talk about what it really means to believe in yourself — and why it’s not as strange or “woo-woo” as it might sound at first.
For a long time, when I heard people say believe in yourself, I brushed it off. It sounded vague and unrealistic. But when I started looking more closely at what believing in yourself actually means, I realized something surprising: we are all already doing it.
Believing in yourself is simply the thoughts you think about yourself.
Many times the thoughts we believe about ourselves sound like this: I can’t do it. I won’t stick with it. It’s hard for me. Something’s missing. Sometimes those beliefs even show up through comparison with other people. We might think they’re smarter, they have connections, or things are easier for them. When those thoughts repeat often enough, they start shaping the way we see ourselves.
But the important thing to understand is that these thoughts are still beliefs about ourselves. If we believe we can’t do something, that’s still believing in ourselves — it’s just believing something limiting.
In this episode, I talk about how changing the thoughts you choose about yourself can shift how you feel. When you think something like I’m not good enough, you might feel insecure or discouraged. But when you think I can do this or I’m following through on this no matter what, your emotional experience shifts. Even if the situation hasn’t changed, the way you feel about yourself can.
Believing in yourself doesn’t mean repeating thoughts you don’t believe. Instead, it means choosing thoughts that genuinely help you move forward and fuel the results you want to create.
