TRUST • FAITH • CONFIDENCE

I'm excited to be back with you today for a bit of a 2-parter as we continue with our theme of the month:
Trust. Faith. Confidence. 
If you have ever struggled with confidence — and really, who hasn’t?— today’s practice is for you, as we shine the spotlight right on the “confidence” piece of this month’s topic triad.

Specifically, I draw a clear distinction between conditional confidence : aka, the boost that we might get when conditions work out in our favor (the accolades, the praise, the win), and unconditional confidence. 

Conditional confidence is fun, but fragile.
Because it's dependent on being fed by sources largely out of our control.
Unconditional confidence, on the other hand is much more sturdy and lasting. Largely because it has zilch to do with success or recognition, and everything to do with trusting our inherent okay-ness. 
And : you guessed it.
This is precisely what we encounter as we continue to meet ourselves in meditation. 

Just find a comfortable seat, and perhaps a pen + paper to capture your own insights after meditation, and then click the video above. 
Practice begins at the 4 minute, 40 second mark.  
Clear eyes. Full heart. Can't lose.
