Monday Motivation 009

Confidence has been on my mind a lot lately. It is interesting to me to notice the times in my day or week in which I feel totally confident and ready to take on the world and the times in which I feel totally overwhelmed, inadequate, and I just want to crawl back in bed and sleep forever.

Unsurprisingly, the times that I feel the most capable are also the times that I feel most put together. For me, I cannot even begin to think about being courageous if my kitchen is a disaster, I have papers piled high on my desk, and I have more unfinished tasks around the house than I can count.

I often forget how important my environment is. When the chores are done and my desk is tidy, my brain is free to focus, to be creative, to let my energy flow productively. I can be courageous and build that confidence.

If your environment is making you feel like you’re drowning a little, here’s an invitation to tidy things up and prepare yourself for the courageous acts that will contribute to your confidence.
