Do you ever look back at moments in your life and wonder how on earth you managed to be so fearless in your pursuit for success?
Yet as we mature putting yourself ‘out there’ can be really scary!
Somehow we lose this wonderful feeling of empowerment and fearlessness, instead feeling more invisible than invincible!
It happens to the best of us!
Take a moment to look back on your story and all that you have achieved and experienced in life, personally and professionally.
It can help you to re-boot your self- confidence. It changes your perspective. And transform the way that you view yourself today.
Your personal journey is all part of your unique story! It’s your foundation and real-world fingerprint that shapes and defines your true values and beliefs.
My journey started as an elite athlete at the Australia Institute of Sport, as a high diver, where I learned the foundations of leadership, personal drive, focus , the power of self-confidence and visualisation. Lessons I still use today.
New Year’s Eve is usually the time for making promises for new beginnings and pledging New Year resolutions. But it’s also the perfect time for you to appreciate all that you have ACHIEVED!
