How do we create faith in ourselves?
Excellent question!
The answer; destress yourself.
Faith is the confident belief or trust in something.
I just created that meaning from the top of my head. But, it is true isn’t it? Faith is the confident belief or trust in something. I like that.
If you have a lot of stress, stress at work, stress at home, stress with finances, stress in your relationships, or just difficulty coping with stress, chances are you do not have faith.
When I say faith, I mean faith in yourself, faith that things will be okay, or faith that you can handle your stress. What is stress? Stress is the consequences of our thoughts of doubt, fear, and worry. Therefore, the opposite of stress is our consequences from our thoughts of faith or the confident belief or trust in something.
Let me just clarify that I am, in a general sense, talking about negative, everyday stress which is distress. Although, this can apply to eustress, as well, which is positive stress. But, I am not speaking about cumulative stress (burnout), or critical (incident) stress, at this time. With that said, if you have stress, chances are you have doubt, fear, and worry.
Stress at work is caused by thoughts of doubt, fear, and worry about work. Stress at home is caused by doubt, fear, and worry about home. Stress with finances is caused by doubt, fear, and worry about finances. Stress in relationships is caused by doubt, fear, and worry about relationships. Difficulty coping with stress is caused by doubt, fear, and worry about outcomes.
Doubt, fear, and worry are thoughts and they are usually habitual thoughts. What I mean by this is that sometimes, or most of the time, we have a habit of doubt, fear, or worry about our situation. Back to the question, how do we create faith in ourselves?
We create faith in ourselves by discovering what we want out of life, what our purpose is, and living what we want and living our purpose. For example, I want to enjoy life (this has many meanings to me but I will save it for another post) and my purpose is to help create happiness, energy, and vitality by teaching people to find joy in their lives (destress yourself). If you do not know what you want or what your purpose is you can find out by taking our destress yourself class.
Living with what we want and our purpose is not a destination, it is a journey. Therefore, we are constantly moving towards what we want by living our purpose. We can create faith in ourselves by finding out what we want, finding out our purpose, and setting goals to obtain this. Working towards this, everyday, will help you find joy and faith in yourself. If you are living in the constant state of going nowhere, doing the same ole thing, living the same ole life, then you may not be creating faith in yourself. But, by moving forward, in life, setting your goals, having a vision, and living your purpose, faith in yourself will come because of the great accomplishments you will make.
Look back one year ago, three years ago, or even five years ago. Are you doing the same ole thing or are you moving forward in life? How do we create faith? Discover what you want out of life, move towards it, and live it. Discover your purpose, move towards it, and live it. Set goals towards what you want, using your purpose, and keep moving forward, everyday.
