I Confidently Decree®

by Theresa Maguire

My Dear Friend,

Confidence can be a tricky thing especially when the confidence comes from who you see yourself as in your career.

In 2020, the event industry as I had always known it, ceased to exist and along with it my job. Perhaps you can relate or have a similar story.

As I pivoted into the next direction my soul was calling me to go, poetry emerged as my new way of expressing my inner world and the uncertainty I was feeling.

This poem was written as I was stepping back into my soul passion of empowerment coaching. I realized that the confidence I had always felt in my event planning career was not showing up in the same way as I redefined myself on this new path I was choosing.

While I understood that everything was Divinely orchestrated for me to follow this new path, it took a while for my confidence to catch up and see myself in this new identity.

As you read these words, I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that confidence is always available to us. And it will emerge when we allow ourselves to let go of all the noise and claim it as ours.

I confidently decree®

I confidently decree that  

I have blocked the confident side of me 

I know this deep within my heart 

Consistently tearing myself apart 

Creating evidence in my life 

Telling myself I have no right 

To be heard, to share my dream 

To let my brilliant light be seen 

I rationalize my talents away 

Saying that another has led the way 

Feeling defeated before I start 

My dreams so easily I discard  

Excuses and distractions 

Keeping me from following my passions 

Now I clearly see 

How I’ve been hiding me 

All these false beliefs I’ve made true 

Keeping me stuck, I withdrew 

Stopped myself from being me 

Keeping me enslaved instead of being free 

Through letting go of comparing myself to others and placing limits on who I thought I could be I was able to tap into a well-spring of confidence.  

I truly believe that confidence begins when we believe in ourselves – who we are and what we bring to the table.  

Confidence is something we wear in our energy field – when we are confident people feel it and when we aren’t they feel that to.  But, you have to feel it first. 

If you struggle with comparing yourself to others or tapping into your confident side letting go of beliefs about who you are is a great place to start. 

After all, confidence looks good on you and you deserve to confidently decree your confidence to the world!

Big Hugs,
Theresa

My dear friend I believe that when we are aligned with our soul calling we will thrive in every aspect of our human experience. I help women reconnect with their authenticity, reclaim their truth, master a loving mindset, and make themselves a priority in their lives.  Because when you let go of what has always been you uncover who you truly are.
