You build resilience against negativity by protecting your mindset, choosing optimism, setting boundaries, and staying grounded in your inner strength.

And that is the thought for today.

Welcome to Seven Good Minutes.

I'm Clyde Lee Dennis.

Thanks for joining me for what I believe will be seven of the most enriching minutes of your day.

In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we talk about how to build resilience,

strengthen your mindset, and rise above negativity.

Enjoy. Ever find yourself second-guessing your own worth? Feeling unsure? Shrinking in rooms where you should be standing tall? You're not alone.

But here's the truth. Confidence isn't something you're born with. It's something you build.

And by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly

how to tap into your own unshakable confidence. Confidence is often misunderstood. Many believe it's

reserved for the naturally bold, the extroverts, or the ultra accomplished. But that's just not true.

Confidence is a skill, a quiet strength that grows with practice.

Whether you're walking into a job interview, stepping onto a stage, or simply speaking your truth in a conversation,

confidence determines how you show up in the world. It influences your relationships, your career, your health, everything.

And the best part? It can be developed no matter where you're starting from.

To build confidence, you don't need any expensive course, certification, or fancy tool.

What you need is a mindset that welcomes growth and a heart committed to change.

This journey requires self-honesty, a willingness to be uncomfortable, and the discipline

to show up even when it's hard. If you can bring an open mind and the courage to try, you already

have everything you need. Let's walk through how to build confidence, one intentional step at a time.

Start by setting small, achievable goals.
