👉My story of setbacks to comebacks
I grew up with poor self esteem and confidence being shy, not feeling beautiful , being very mediocre with no unique talents and even a dream - very often feeling invisible. Neither did I bet on myself nor I saw anyone else doing so.
However a lot changed for me when I changed subjects in higher secondary school giving me the environment I needed to thrive. I suddenly went from average to brilliant consistently securing the first rank and being a Gold medallist university topper in my graduation.
Despite being academically brilliant, I significantly lacked interpersonal skills and the social skills to engage confidently. This aspect failed to support my rounded projection of being credible - the lack of 'showmanship' costed me a lot of opportunities many times. Sometimes I de-sponsored myself and sometimes, I gifted others the opportunity to do so.
My confidence made several disappearances - when I moved to London from India, not knowing what future held for me ; when I went through post natal depression after my first child born during covid lockdown; when I went through a string of rejections while applying for jobs and interviews.
Also, my self belief played hide and seek, while sometimes rejections made me feel - I am not good enough, sometimes getting opportunities made me feel - I might not be able to pull it off.
I also have gone through moments of ditching confidence just before a presentation or just before an important meeting feeling blank or experiencing a choked throat trying desperately hard to get the words out.
The turning point was that in this process , I started following transformational coaches, leadership coaches and motivational speakers (about four years now..) which helped me tremendously to shape shift my self worth, sense of judgement, my internal compass and more.
Applying the wisdom, I fell less, hurt less and bounced back more easily and stronger but most importantly, I became someone who started to like myself rather than seeking or relying on external validation.
Having said all this, my confidence still gets naughty in high stake situations, but my ability to navigate it is significantly better by working on my mindset.
👉NOW IS THE TIME TO SHARE WHAT MIGHT TRANFORM YOUR LIFE LIKE IT DID FOR ME👉
