Your Voice, Inc.

If you could change only one thing about yourself that would make the most significant difference in your life, what would it be?  Before you answer, remember that the question is something about yourself, not about your life. Would you answer…..smarter, thinner, funnier, richer….more attractive, disciplined, patient, creative, productive, more connected to a higher power…?

What if there was one thing that could make all of that possible?  What if you could change your level of confidence; wouldn’t all of the others change as well – either literally or figuratively?  What if you worked on your confidence and shushed your inner chatter?

If you had complete confidence in yourself and your abilities, would you…

• Feel great when you woke up to start your day
• Be excited to start that new chapter or edit yesterday’s writing
• Spend more time following your passion
• Not be able to stop coming up with great ideas for your next blog, article, book, etc.
• Make the call or send the email to those people you want to work with, or work for
• Know the success or failure of those around you does not define your own identity
• Put your running shoes on and head out the door
• Send the query letters to agents
• Fit the yoga class into your schedule
• Be able to get back to sleep in the middle of the night
• Create the mind map or project plan for that big idea you have been putting off
• Call the friend or family member with whom you had a disagreement
• Write that brilliant cover letter or specialized resume for your dream job – and send it!
• Ask an influencer or thought leader to be your mentor
• Speak up for yourself and set boundaries to improve relationships
• Eat healthier foods, one meal at a time, because you know you can consistently make good choices
• Approach that woman or man you are attracted to and introduce yourself

This list could go on and on, but you get the general idea.  Anything and everything you first listed as something you would like to change becomes a reality when you have authentic confidence in yourself and your abilities.

The Challenge:  One Thing for One Week

Please join me in a challenge to be, to feel and to live with complete, authentic confidence for one week.  Shift your inner chatter and hear yourself saying “Yes, I can”, “I will”, and “I am.”  No matter what happens you know that you can do it, handle it, and make it better.  Regardless of the day of the week, just start today in this hour and for 7 days see what you have accomplished and what comes into your life.  When you believe anything to be true or right, you see and experience things that support that belief.  Please share your progress.  Your comments will serve as inspiration to others (and to me).  Ready?  Go!

Please send this to your friends, colleagues and family members so that you can support each other in the challenge.
