Summary

The number one way to build self confidence, is to follow through on the commitments you make to yourself.

The thing is, we generally make BIG commitments, like:

I’m going to start this workout program and not miss a day, its 60 minutes a day for 60 days.
I’m doing my diet for real this time. No more sugar, carbs, junk food, alcohol, etc.
I am going to build this side hustle into something great so that I can leave my full time job

Etc.

But, then, when things get hard, because it is too much pressure or too much of a departure from your normal life, you give up. And, when you give up consistently over time, you hemorrhage trust with yourself. You learn that you can’t count on you. You learn that you are ok with disappointing yourself, as long as you’re not disappointing others.

In todays episode I walk you through how to start building that trust back… with micro goals. Things that don’t require a TON from you, but require just enough to build that mind management and stay committed to your goal. Things that, as you do them, you learn you actually CAN do hard things, just not all at once.

Join me as I share how you can set micro goals to build your self confidence, and set yourself up for that massive goal you have on your vision board.

And don’t forget, I’m still running the beta test for my membership that is launching in the new year, and I would LOVE to have you join us! You will get access to the Intentional Living course that I just wrapped up, as well as weekly live coaching calls. Details are in the episode, or found here: ashliemolstad.com/intentional-you

0:04.0	So you go to bed the night before and you set your alarm to work out the next morning.
0:08.7	The next morning comes, alarm goes off, your brain says, just skip it.
0:12.3	It doesn't matter.
0:13.4	You know, you can start this tomorrow.
0:15.1	It comes up with all these objections,
0:17.0	which we should have anticipated because it does that pretty much every time
0:20.3	until you start to build the routine of, yes, I get up no even if I'm tired even if it's hard and we think maybe that's the only downside right but truly when you make a commitment to yourself and that you then don't follow through with your hemorrhaging trust.
0:34.3	You're starting to become someone that you can't count on. Oh, hello, hello, welcome back to the Insource Podcast. My name is Ashley Moulstead. I cannot thank you
0:57.9	enough for being here with me today. Truly, it blows me away week after week the feedback that I'm getting and how many of you are
1:06.3	listening and tuning in and then going back and re-listening and then sharing it with friends and you guys are like the little engine that could you're the gas in this tank and so I am just so grateful for you
1:20.0	That you keep showing up but also that you let me be human because what you're showing up for is to kind of hear my journey and my story and I am an ever-evolving human who hasn't figured it out and kind of don't ever want to, right?
1:36.0	I want to, I'm here for the growth, I'm here for the changes, I'm here for the evolution, I don't want to stay stagnant. So today I want to talk to you
1:48.3	guys about something that has helped me recently in not staying stagnant. You know, I lean in to growth and change
1:55.6	and I'm constantly observing my brain.
1:58.1	And if you've followed me, you've probably
2:01.2	heard me say that the number one way to build confidence is to follow
2:05.4	through on the commitments that you make to yourself.
2:08.6	But that also the inverse or the converse of that is true that it is also confidence
2:16.2	shattering when you can make commitments to yourself and then don't show up.
2:20.9	And if you think about it, if there was a friend of yours that you made
