Do you lack or have limited self-confidence? Have fear of trying something new? Tell yourself “I could never do _____”?

For years, I tried to change how I am wired, and ended up depressed and a shell of myself. I became fearful of almost everything. I rarely left the house, and wasn’t honest with those closest to me about my thoughts and feelings. I had no confidence to be myself.

Eventually, the pain of putting myself in that box became greater than the pain of doing and saying the things I wanted. I started stepping outside my comfort zone, and it’s become my favorite thing to do. With every activity, I get a little more confident, accept myself a little bit more, and get a little closer to the life I want to be living.

In this episode, I’m sharing the baby steps I took outside my comfort zone to build confidence in all areas of my life.
