Confidence Course

Trying something new is one of the best ways to gain confidence. When we were in Mexico a few years ago we tried surfing. We took a taxi about 45 minutes away and weren't sure if the driver was taking us to be killed or what, but eventually we made it. The waves were about 3 inches high! But don't worry, yours truly still got up and it was thrilling! I can't even tell you how proud I was. Growing up I never tried things because I was afraid of failing. I now recognize that there is much more to gain from trying new things even if you aren't good at them. It's like Gabba Gabba says, "I tried it, and now I like it!"

Finding Confidence in Running

A few thoughts on this. Running for me has given me so much confidence. To be able to stick to a training schedule and complete a race affirmed to me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I love the feeling of being fit. I love the feeling after a run.
Lastly, a really cute pair of running shoes gets me excited to put them on and go. I love compliments on my running shoes. I'm not one who feels super comfortable in tight/cute exercise gear so shoes are my way of bringing fashion into my runs.

Purpose

The idea for this came to me in the middle of the night. How do real, normal, beautiful women find the confidence to believe in their beauty? I hope this will be a fun, inspiring, and motivating blog. I would love your ideas.
