Todays Challenge: Building your Confidence
confidence is an inner feeling of how YOU feel about YOURSELF
What causes self confidence issues?
Some of the many causes of low self-esteem may include: Unhappy childhood where parents (or other significant people such as teachers) were extremely critical. Poor academic performance in school resulting in a lack of confidence. Ongoing stressful life event such as relationship breakdown or financial trouble.

I rarely have a good confident day.
What causes self confidence issues? For me. . . I had issues with my first step mother. She would purposely put me down. She would use my fear of my father against me. She would make me feel small and useless. She made my biological brother feel less than her own kids. However my father would simply claim that she was not mentally well. I do know she had depression, but taking out your mental illness on other is not right. (I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety and I try my best not to take it out on others.) I'm still strugging with self love and confidence,
