You may feel exposed and vulnerable today. You may also feel that you are being judged for your leadership capabilities, which may shake your confidence. If you can spend time building your confidence and strengthening your belief in yourself, you will find yourself less affected by what others say and do. You may wish to review your strengths and talents first, either by writing them down or stating them aloud. This will get your thoughts flowing in a positive direction and begin to strengthen your belief in yourself. If you can then focus on affirming your ability to handle any situation, you will begin to feel more empowered and confident. This improved mind-set could serve you well today.

Fostering a strong belief in ourselves allows us to interact with others confidently and productively. We are more affected by our reaction to the opinions of others than by the opinions themselves. Instead of internalizing what others think of us, we can choose to form our beliefs about ourselves. By choosing to spend time building our confidence and affirming our capabilities, we create a strong foundation of belief that cannot be shaken by external influences. We are then able to focus our energy on using our talents to their best potential and working in productive ways with others. You can lend a productive focus to your activities today by building your confidence and cultivating an unshakable belief in yourself.
