773: Confidence is Many Times Borrowed Before It's Built

Sometimes, you need to borrow someone else's belief in you until you build enough belief in yourself. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff shares how the people around us can shape what we believe is possible. She reflects on how her father believed in her interest in sport and performance psychology before she could fully see the path herself, allowing her to "borrow" his confidence. Cindra explains why confidence is social and why building your winning team matters. The people who have your ear can strengthen your belief, remind you what you're capable of, and help quiet your inner critic when you're pursuing something difficult. In this episode, you'll learn how to: • Identify the people who truly believe in you • Borrow their words when your inner critic gets loud • Surround yourself with a winning team that strengthens your confidence • Become a "confidence lender" by telling others what you see in them • Use someone else's belief as a bridge toward believing in yourself Cindra also challenges you to think of someone who believed in you before you believed in yourself. Thank them, then look for someone in your own life who might need to borrow a little confidence from you today. **Power Phrase:** "I believe in you, and I believe in me."   **To order The Confidence Habit, visit: www.confidencetools.com** **To download our full study report, visit: confidencestudy.com** **To request a Free Breakthrough Call with a Mentally Strong Coach, visit: freementalbreakthroughcall.com** **To learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute, visit: mentallystronginstitute.com** **To learn about Dr. Cindra Kamphoff's speaking and coaching, visit: cindrakamphoff.com** **To follow Dr. Cindra on Instagram, visit: @cindrakamphoff**
