Summary
What is self-confidence? Is it something we can develop or is it inherent? If we can develop it, how so? And why is it so important? All of these questions I address in this episode alongside why building resilience plays a key role in self-confidence too. I finish by looking at 4 key psychological assets that I believe resilient people have and how we can apply them to our own lives.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode number 13 of the bouncing back podcast with me James Middleton. |
| 0:13.1 | It's been a little while, it's been a little while, but I am so glad to be back here sitting in front of the microphone ready to talk to you in another episode. |
| 0:23.9 | I took a little break from everything. I've been away. Those of you who follow me on social |
| 0:28.3 | media would have seen I've been away for some time just to escape and relax and unwind |
| 0:35.1 | because I realized that I hadn't had a proper day off or proper time |
| 0:39.9 | off for about two and a half years where I just completely switched off and it's something that |
| 0:45.1 | I always talk about and advise people to do, you know, taking rest and relaxation because |

| 0:54.8 | myself properly so hence why there's been a little bit of a break between the last episode and |
| 1:00.8 | this episode but i'm excited to be kicking things off again and in today's episode i'm going to be |
| 1:08.8 | discussing everything about self-confidence, improving self-confidence, |

| 1:20.8 | but I'll come into talking about that in the podcast. In terms of what we're going to discuss, |

| 1:35.0 | improve and grow, how we go about improving it and why it's so important. We do things that |
| 1:41.1 | contribute to building self-confidence. And then I'm going to come on to talking about resilience |
| 1:45.0 | and how it's a combination of both nature and nurture |
| 1:49.0 | and why I don't believe it's fixed and something that we can grow. |
| 1:54.0 | And then I'm going to talk about the four key psychological assets |
| 1:57.0 | that resilient people or people that I have studied and researched who I |
| 2:02.6 | believe to be very resilient people have and hold. And the reason for this topic is because I had a |
| 2:08.6 | lot of you messaging me saying, not only James, when's the next podcast, when's the next podcast? |
