Do you ever feel insecure?

Of course you do...

...and you're not alone.

Everybody has at least one aspect of themselves that they are insecure about.

But if you want to overcome your insecurities, you've come to the right place.

What Is Insecurity?

Insecurity is the feeling of lacking self-assurance.

You can be insecure about nearly anything.

You can feel insecure about the way you look...

You can feel insecure about your ability to execute...

You can feel insecure about your skill set...

But all insecurities are rooted in a lack of confidence.

The good news is this...

Confidence is a skill that you can develop like anything else.

Here's how you can stop feeling insecure, and develop your confidence...

How to Stop Feeling Insecure

Insecurity can feel like quicksand...

The longer you sit around and stew ... The deeper you'll sink.

Break the cycle.

Start building the confidence you need to overcome your feelings of insecurity.

Here how...

1. Keep The Promises You Make To Yourself

Let's just be honest...

Most people are insecure about themselves because they don't do anything to make themselves proud.

The only way you can make yourself proud is through your actions and sticking to the things you say you're going to do.

If you feel insecure about your body, I’d be willing to bet it’s because you haven’t been disciplined with your eating habits or exercise habits.

You failed to deliver on your promise to get in shape and earn a body that you can be confident in.

If you feel insecure about your career, it’s probably because you haven’t put in the work to earn a better position.

You failed to deliver on your promise to excel in your career.

Make sure to start keeping the promises you make to yourself, and don’t wait any longer...

This is the quickest way to start building your confidence and momentum in life.

2. Quit Quitting

Most people never accomplish anything in their life because they quit before they are about to make a breakthrough.

We all know people like this…

They work a job for 2-3 years...

Then, when things start getting difficult…

They move on to something different and have to start all over again.

Quitting when things get difficult is the best way to sabotage your success, self-confidence, and start feeling insecure.

So quit quitting.

It’s that simple.

You can’t accomplish anything you’re proud of by quitting prematurely…

It’s impossible.

3. Spend Time On Your Personal Development

What did you do today to make yourself better?

This can be mentally, physically, emotionally, or a combination of all of them.

If you aren’t putting in the time to become a better version of yourself, it should come as no surprise to you if you feel insecure.

You can’t be happy with yourself if you’re not doing something to pursue your potential.

That’s why it is crucial that you spend time developing yourself...

For me, it’s reading 10 pages of a personal development-focused book every day.

For you, it may be listening to a podcast, practicing your skill set, or taking a course…

The list goes on and on.

But the better you become as a person…

The more confident and secure you’ll start to feel.

4. Stop Worrying About What Others Think

Most of our insecurities have to do with how others perceive us.

But the truth is this…

The things you are insecure about are probably things that other people don’t even notice…

…and even if they did notice, you shouldn’t concern yourself with the opinions of others.

Your main focus should be on yourself and pursuing your potential.

Focus on making yourself happy.

It’s a much better way to live.

5. Set & Pursue Big Goals

If you are not constantly challenging yourself and pursuing the life you truly want...

How can you be surprised when you feel insecure?

You aren't taking action to accomplish anything of significance ... Of course you're going to feel insecure.

Identify your purpose.

Pursue your passion.

Chase your biggest goals and dreams.

You will always feel insecure until you do because you know just how much you're leaving out on the table.

You've got one shot.

Don't waste it.

6. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

Comfort zones are self-imposed limits.

When you live in that space…

You will never get any better than you are right now.

Realistically ... You'll get worse because there is no such thing as "maintaining."

Make sure you are continually going out of your way to embrace new challenges.

These are opportunities to learn, grow, experience, and build skills that will serve you a lifetime.

I can't tell you what that looks like for you. Only you can.

You know what you're capable of and what will be a legitimate challenge for you.

Whether that's a physical challenge...

Mental challenge...

Professional challenge...

Or any other challenge.

All of your growth will happen outside of your comfort zone.

Understand This About Your Insecurities...

Can you become completely free of your insecurities?

No.

Can you eliminate a majority of the things that you’re insecure about?

Yes.

It all comes down to making the right choices every day.

Do something to challenge yourself…

Something you can be proud of.

Beat Insecurity With Mental Toughness

If you want to know how to stop feeling insecure...

Work on building your confidence through execution.

It's that simple.

...But don't confuse simple with easy.

Building yourself into someone you can feel truly proud of is hard work.

It's anything but easy.

I recommend you start by developing mental toughness.

Why?

Because mental toughness is the single most important skill you need to win in every area of life.

Mental toughness serves as the foundation upon which every other skill is built.

That includes CONFIDENCE.

If you had the mental toughness and discipline to always deliver on the promises you make to yourself...

Do you think you'll feel confident?

If you actually went out and lost the 20 pounds...

If you actually went out and built a company from nothing...

If you actually went out and executed on your tasks while maintaining the highest standards possible...

Of course you'd feel confident.

That's the solution.

That's how to stop feeling insecure.

Start with mental toughness and use that skill to create massive momentum toward becoming that version of yourself you dream of.

I recommend you get my book, The Book on Mental Toughness.

This book is your tactical guide and a resource you can utilize to build mental toughness and take complete control of your life.

When you're ready to make that investment in yourself...
