She turned her dreams into plans

cantstocansShe turned her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans. I read this and think of the women who come to our programs. They are no longer willing to focus on all of the things that they haven’t done. They are ready to focus on what they want instead of what they don’t.

I think about quiet Jenny. When she first came to our Leap to Confidence class we could barely hear her, she spoke so softly. She kept her head down and didn’t make much eye contact. On graduation day she proclaimed that she didn’t want to be that quiet person anymore and that she was finished letting other people make decisions for her.

Jenny realized that she was in control of her life. She was ready to say what she wanted out loud. She was ready to turn her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans.

What are you ready for?

Science tells us that a confident woman lives a longer, healthier, and more abundant life. So, what is her secret? It begins when she steps out of bed every morning and approaches the day with courage, confidence, and determination. Her sense of self is her own. It is not tied to the approval of others, and the anti-aging serum that she swears by is the organic mixture of optimism, resilience, social connection, curiosity, purpose, and gratitude.

She does not concern herself with drama. Instead, she regulates her emotions, thereby lowering her blood pressure, improving her sleep, and helping her feel better. A woman’s confidence is more than just a pretty face packaged in a positive attitude. It is a powerful life extender, allowing her to be present longer for her family, friends, and community.

At the same time, a woman’s confidence does not guarantee success, nor does it completely wipe away worry, self-doubt, and other pesky personal problems that threaten stress lines on her face. Even the most self-assured woman has days filled with fear and uncertainty. However, her consistency (i.e., confidence) is her best asset, and it works most effectively when accompanied by humility, awareness, courage, and effort.
