Confidence Challenge

​Confidence Challenge

Welcome to The Confidence Challenge!

Too often we discount ourselves, feel discouraged, play small, and forget our true personal power and potential. Let's fix that. GrowthDay Founder and legendary high-performance coach Brendon Burchard guides you through 5 days of LIFE-CHANGING training to help you create authentic, lasting confidence. Few people understand the psychology of confidence, and fewer yet know how to SUMMON the state when it's needed most. This challenge will help you tap into your belief in yourself, be truer and more assertive in social situations, develop competency faster, and connect to a purpose that gives you strength.

​My Journal Entry

1. Social situations that I tend to withdraw from or avoid of are:
   1. ​Large crowds of people, such as shopping at Walmart
   2. Concerts or HUGE events (except for Conventions)
   3. I have also been avoiding having a serious conversation with my girlfriend about our relationship & where it's going to take us & where we're going to go from here after our first serious conversation.
   4. I don't like confrontation so therefore I tend to avoid certain situations.
2. ​If I was more confident around others, my life would be different in these positive ways.​
   1. ​I am actually pretty confident around others. I am, however, no longer confident around my girlfriend when it comes to us having sex. If I was more confident around my girlfriend when it comes to that, I think a lot of things would change. 
      1. I wouldn't feel like our relationship is failing.
      2. I wouldn't feel like I wanted to just give up on our relationship.
      3. I would look at her more lovingly.
      4. I wouldn't feel resentment towards her.
      5. Our sex life would be better.

• One thing I could do to feel more confident around other people is:
  • ​Not worry about what others think of me.
  • Not overthink & overanalyze every situation.
  • Surround myself with like-minded people.
  • Choose my circle of friends a little more wisely.
  • Be around individuals who lift me up & not bring me down.
  • ​Be around positive people, not negative ones.
  • Know how to talk to & carry on a conversation with others.
  • When it comes to my girlfriend, I really don't know what I could do to feel more confident around her because of what she said to me & because of the decision she has made to stray away from our relationship with someone else.
• Three things that I can share about myself in the next conversations with others is:
  • ​I am Microsoft Specialist certified through Blue Ridge Community College & also have many certifications that I have earned.
  • I was Student Government Association President while I was attending Wilson Workforce & Rehabilitation Center.  As well as; Student Tour Guide, Student Peer Mediator, and the Creator & Editor of the student newsletter, Old Ragtime News.
  • As far as my girlfriend is concerned; I could tell her that I am willing to try different things in the bedroom, so our relationship doesn't fail. However, since she has chosen to stray off with someone else, I don't think anything I do at this point would change the fact that she wants what I cannot give her. Even though she says she still wants to be with me but also wants to have that other guy in the picture, I would have to be honest with her about how I now feel, which is I am not sure the relationship is going to work out. I have no become very jealous & less trusting of her. I do NOT trust her now, even though she told me what she was planning to do with him. I feel as if this probably is going to break our relationship & there is nothing, we can do to fix it. So there really is nothing I can do as far as my girlfriend goes to feel more confident in our relationship because she totally killed my self-confidence, and I don't think I will be able to get that back now. 

Task 3

Post in the Comments!

Share in the comments section your advice for being more comfortable around other people? What works for you? What 3 questions could someone ask when meeting someone new to fully engage that person and take the pressure off?

My advice about being more comfortable around other people would be this; surround yourself with people who are positive, who are like-minded, who share the same interests as you, those individuals who are not judgmental at all. As far as what works for me with being more comfortable around other people, I introduce myself, I tell them a little bit about myself as far as achievements & accomplishments. Another thing that works for me with being more comfortable around people is, talk about something I love, such as I love being an Avon Representative & Team Leader, so I will talk to them about my Avon Business & my Avon Team because it is something that I am passionate about & I feel 100% comfortable sharing about it. 3 questions that someone could ask when meeting someone could be 1-What do you do for a living? 2- What goals have you set for yourself? 3-What do you hope to accomplish in the future?
