Developing a strong belief in our abilities helps us cultivate confidence and inner strength. We often don't realize how strong and capable we are until we take the time to explore this idea. If we are honest with ourselves about our own strengths, we will often be surprised by how much we have accomplished and how much we are capable of. This knowledge then increases our confidence in our ability to succeed and we feel empowered. Our need to seek approval or validation from others disappears, and we become the source of our esteem. Believe in your own capabilities today, and you will ease your anxious emotions and feel more self-assured.
