Life's Love Affair

Consistency is showing up even when we don’t feel like it or when we fall off. It’s showing up and we know confidence doesn’t just show up. It’s built and the process of building is called Consistency

In today’s post we’ll be looking at, How to build confidence through consistency

If you’re like me that believed Confidence comes first before you act ,welcome.

Lately I’ve been in a pickle in practicing for a job I want and I’ve always thought I needed confidence to land the role, that’s necessary but showing up even when it’s not looking good has really been a game changer for me.

Breaking it down simply- Consistency +Competence = Confidence

Consistency is showing up regularly, even when it’s hard, imperfect and doesn’t make sense

Competence is getting better at the thing — even if it’s a little aka celebrating little wins

And

Confidence is the calm that comes when you know you’ve done it before and you can do it again.

Now that we understand how it works

Let’s look at

7 ways Consistency Builds Confidence

One Small Habit at a Time

Consistency teaches you to be uncomfortable with discomfort

Confidence doesn’t mean you don’t feel fear ,it means the fear won’t stop you from shining. Consistency trains you to stay grounded even when you’re not sure of the next steps to take.

Consistency helps you to stop waiting to feel Ready

Put a finger down if you’ve seen an opportunity and the first thought that comes to mind is I’m not ready for this. Consistency helps with that because the truth is you’re never going to be 100% ready but showing up helps with the jitters and that’s when confidence kicks in

Failure is not the end

That’s what consistency does, reminds you that failure is not the end but things you need to do differently and learn as well. The Beauty of building consistency is that failure doesn’t shake you. Why?
Because you’ve built resilience. You’ve trained your soul to bounce back and that’s a must in building Confidence

Familiarity Breeds Confidence

Consistency creates familiarity, that’s the power of repetition. Remember the first time you did anything, how it was scary at first and the more you did it, it became second nature, something you could do with your eyes closed.

You Collect Receipts

Remember that time you showed up for your client call when you didn’t feel like it?
That moment you posted even though your hands were shaking?
Those are receipts. Stack them. Keep them. Revisit them, let them remind you when the doubts arise.

You start showing up

Not Showing Off… Confidence isn’t about proving anything to anyone.
It’s about showing up authentically, knowing you don’t have to perform to be worthy.

You Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself

Have you ever chickened out of something because you’re scared. Same girl, same well, Consistency follows true which sends a message that I can trust me. That right there is confidence.

Now that I’ve convinced you that Consistency is the Name of the Game. How do I show up especially when I have too much on my plate, and I hear you.

Start by;

1. Choose one habit: Show up where you’re building on, where you see your future self heading. Whether it’s journaling weekly, brainstorming ideas or recording that video or podcast, whatever speaks to the version of you you’re becoming.

2. Track it: Keep a tracker or a note of what you did, not how perfect it was.

3. Celebrate every win: Not every win will feel big, but they all count.

There’s power in showing up, there’s power in building when no one notices, it’s in those moments you take root and know your why. It’s choosing the long game.It’s choosing to believe in your future self, even when your present self is doubting.
And that right there is more than any quick fix It’s where confidence builds and lives.

So this is your reminder that, You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up.
