Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Take this alone time during the pandemic to improve confidence within which is also known as self-confidence. Confidence is all about knowing and valuing yourself. In addition, confidence can bring about a high level of happiness and security knowing that you are fulfilling your destiny in life. If you’re honest, you have to admit that at one time or another you may have struggled with believing in yourself or allowing others to dictate what makes you happy. This is normal behavior, but if not careful, it can lead to confidence issues. My goal today is to boost your morale and show you how to improve confidence within. Let’s get started!

JOURNAL PROMPTS

Your greatest obstacle and your greatest strength stare back at you in the mirror every day. – Unknown Author

I love journaling because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Remember, journaling is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures. In addition, journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey. Everyone takes their own path.  Ready, set, write!
