You're listening to The Confidence Podcast. Your favorite coaching podcast oozes in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the internet.

I teach go getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's Trish Blackwell. Happy day after Valentine's Day. I hope your day was filled with self-kindness and self-love because we start with that if we can only love others to the extent with which we sincerely love and care for ourselves.

I hope you had an amazing day and peaceful day filled in overflowing with love. We're talking about how to stop giving up on yourself.

You could say how to stop giving up on yourself, how to have unwavering belief, how to stop, honestly I want to talk about how to stop stepping in and out of belief.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, you're like all in on this weight loss goal or all in on this launching an Etsy store or being public about your art or music or applying for a new job and building your resume and stepping out and believing what you can get and then it gets hard.

Or then the results come slower or then it's hard to get out of bed one day for that run, that marathon that you're training for because it's cold, right?

And you forgot to set yourself up for success the night before so you do a little microquit and you give up just for a day and you think it's okay, I'll pick it back up.

But then you feel bad about giving up and then it creates a pattern and we settle into complacency and complaining and comparison and then cynicism, who was I even to think that I could do this?

Because that's what I call stepping in and out of belief when you're like, I'm all in, I got this and then like, and you get tired.

And then you take a little break and then, you know, two steps forward, one step back.

If you ever feel like you've taken two steps forward and then three steps back and then one step forward and then two steps back and then five steps forward and one step back.

This episode is for you.

We're talking about how to stop giving up on yourself and I have a special guest you guys know, I very rarely bring on podcast guests.

I'm bringing on Christina LeCure, who also has an amazing podcast, this is called Decided to Return.
