March 2021
We are hopefully now on the home strait and trotting / gliding / staggering to some sort of finish line.
The past year has been a rich tapestry. It has brought us enormous sorrows and also a renewed appreciation of the power of kindness. Another outcome seems to be that many people are experiencing a dip in confidence .
There is much we can do to restore and revive levels of confidence. One is to monitor what we say to ourselves. The inner dialogue has a profound effect on how we think and feel about ourselves and as a result, it makes a powerful contribution to our behaviour.
A useful assessment is to ask whether this is what you would tell the person you loved most in the world. If not, what would you say? More drastically, in an emergency, such as on an aeroplane, the instruction is to put the air mask on ourselves first before helping other passengers. The same principle applies - we need to look after ourselves and that care will spread.
Our minds and bodies are very closely linked. When we smile, the subconscious mind doesn't assess whether or not we're happy. It takes the instruction and sends endorphins, the so called "happy hormone", round our system. The T - shirt slogan could therefore be, "It's not that happy people smile more, people who smile more are happier".
One of the consequences of 2020 is the impact on levels of personal confidence. Familiar infrastructures and parameters have either disappeared altogether or distorted, raising substantial challenges. Recognising how this affects us provides the strength and self awareness we need to form the crucial first step.
