The Power of the Pat: A Simple Trick for Instant Confidence
Hey lovely, let's talk about something super simple that can totally shift your mood and your confidence. Giving yourself a pat on the back, literally. Now I know that that might sound a bit funny or a bit silly, but here's the thing. Most of us spend way too much time focusing on what we haven't done instead of what we have. So this week I want you to start doing this little ritual. When you do something, and by something, I mean anything that moves you forward – which is everything – pause for a second, smile, and pat yourself on the back. You make your bed? Pat yourself on the back. You send an email? Pat yourself on the back. You showed up for you and your business today, even though you didn't feel like it? Give yourself a double pat! It's not about ego. It's about wiring your brain to recognize progress, those little steps. Every time you acknowledge yourself, you release a burst of happy hormones: dopamine, serotonin, endorphins – all those good ones that boost your mood and your motivation. And here's the best bit: it's contagious. The more you do it, the more others notice it, and before long, they'll be starting to celebrate themselves too. So your quick fix this week? Smile, praise yourself, and pat yourself on the back. Do it often. Do it proudly. And notice how your confidence and your energy start to rise, because you're doing so much better than you think.
