There’s a reason we see an uptick in volunteering around the holidays. Helping others have a better existence makes us feel better about ourselves. The easiest way to help others and get that boost of confidence is through random acts of kindness. But, if you want to take it to the next level, become a volunteer for a cause you are passionate about. 

For the past few weeks of the Confidence and Courage Challenge, we’ve been focused on you. Today, we want to look at how shifting your focus on others by practicing kindness makes you more confident. 

We’ve all heard the expression fake it until you make it. Feign confidence until confidence comes to you; act as though you have already achieved success, and the success will follow. In moments where you need to act immediately, this can be helpful. But, it doesn’t come without risks. A better approach is to fake it, then make it.

Increasing confidence and courage requires action. You can’t dream your way to confident. How you start your day can directly impact your ability to take action, especially if you work from home and go days without any in-person human interaction {other than the man who vowed he’d be there through the good and bad times}. When you create a morning routine to increase confidence, you’ll also improve your productivity and happiness.
