The Weirdest Way to Build Real Confidence

Ever notice how your mind jumps straight to "I need more experience" or "I need to know more" before feeling confident?

Today's class revealed something different about confidence - it starts in the body, not the mind.

As Carolina shared:

"Your confidence doesn't come from knowing everything or knowing what's going to happen. It comes from allowing yourself to be you."

The highlight?

The "weird walk" practice - where we intentionally moved in unusual ways to break our patterns of self-consciousness.

Why?

Because true confidence isn't about performance or expertise - it's about feeling safe being exactly who you are.

Through gentle movement and energy work, we:

  • Released the need to "know everything"
  • Connected to our innate wisdom
  • Built confidence from being rather than doing
  • Found joy in simply being ourselves

My favorite moment: watching everyone discover their own unique "weird walk" and seeing the genuine smiles that emerged when we dropped our need to look "right."

The physical practice included:

  • Grounding exercises
  • Hip opening movements
  • Heart-opening poses
  • Energy centering techniques

One participant shared:

"When I've been most confident, I've been very present in my body. You can tell yourself a bunch of things, but if it's too cerebral, you just don't believe it."

Watch the replay (59 mins) to experience how it feels to build confidence from the inside out - no expertise required, just you being wonderfully you
