Creating Confidence. That’s right - create confidence. How? The same way an athlete boosts her confidence after a less than stellar performance, or in the same way a businessman jumps back from a bad investment.  We move forward, and recognize that one misstep (or a series of) does not define who we are as people. To believe in yourself then, no longer requires goal achievement. By this standard, self-acceptance and self worth are essential. Carole Radziwill recently wrote about this concept stating that “confident women are made, not born”.  I had never thought of it this way and really - the concept of confidence being created is something that should resonate for all of us - not just women.  Previously, I truly believed some people were born more confident than others, but I realize now that maybe I’ve misunderstood what it means to be confident. So many times we wrap our self-worth up in completing certain tasks or goals. Noting that once we achieve a certain goal or standard, that it will boost our self-esteem and therefore confidence and worth.  This is true to a point, as achievement does feel good and is a strong motivator. However for those of us who struggle with perfection it’s a dangerous internal dialogue to have. To say that we are only worth something if we can achieve a specific thing we’ve randomly attached value to creates a rat race….and it’s a race that ultimately, we will never win. By this definition, we’ll always be chasing the next best thing, never satisfied, never fully confident, and always hungry. What if we shifted our perspective to be more like those who are truly confident and happy with who/where they are? What would it take? It would take self acceptance. Goal attainment and confidence are two separate things, and the more we can assess these separately, the better off we are. If we blindly accepted ourselves, without attaching achievement, how differently would we look and feel? What if we decided we were worth something not because we “earned it” but because we know who we are, and we know that’s someone worth believing in?  What if we believed we were worth something simply because we are human, and know that nobody else out there is like us. I don't know about you, but I like it. I like knowing that I’m enough because I exist, and that it’s okay to believe in who I am because I accept and love all of me. Weaknesses, strengths, the whole package. There’s no other package like this - like me - like you. There is value in rarity. In short, Accept who you are and use all of what you know to propel yourself forward, rather than focusing exclusively on goal attainment.  Achievement is one small portion of success; confidence, on the other hand, is a matter of perspective.  Reduce Your Wrinkles. Once Rachel turned 40, she became more and more self conscious about her wrinkles. And even though you’d NEVER be able to find even a small line in her skin, wrinkles are all she saw in the mirror. Before she’d post a photo online, she’d zoom into her face to smoothen it out. Every night, she’d cry to her husband about how her wrinkles make her look angry and years older. This was eating away at her… and her wallet. She’d spend money on creams and botox, only to be left disappointed and feeling hopeless that she’d ever have youthful skin again. But little did she know, thousands of 50 year-old Croatian women are doing a skin routine that costs PENNIES… ...and has them constantly mistaken as someone in their 30’s. So, why is it that women from exotic countries look so youthful while women from other parts of the world look older than they actually are? As it turns out, Croatian women aren’t injecting botox or investing a small fortune in creams. Instead, their skincare routine uses the oils squeezed out of a mediterranean flower grown in their backyard… This flower’s oil has been shown to: - Reduce 14.07% in the appearance of Crow’s feet wrinkles…. - Increase 8.79% in skin elasticity… - Increase 27.63% in dermal density (in other words, firmer skin)… - And reduce 22.39% in skin redness and irritation. And thousands have said that THIS oil has wiped 7, 15, and even 25 years of wrinkles in under a week. So, if you want younger looking skin without injections, toxins, or expensive doctor visits… [>>then you can click on this blue line to discover how to remove 15 years of wrinkles]( To you and your skin, Change That Up.    This email was sent to {EMAIL} by support@changethatup.com 7339 E Williams Dr. Suite 26375 Scottsdale, AZ 85255 [Edit Profile]( | [Manage Subscriptions]( | [Report Spam](
