3 Steps On Building Self Confidence, Pursuing Your Passion, and Serving Your Purpose

It was lunch time, and there was a quiet energy in the air when one of my workmates opened up on how her quarter life crisis consistently taps her on the shoulder – a not so welcome visitor, every year since she turned 25. Today, she is now 29, and was unsettled over the idea of the inevitable dark cloud of uncertainty that might come when she turns 30. I, being the person who says the first thing that comes to mind, asked nonchalantly, “If it happens every year, then you should probably already know what to do by now”

I instantly regretted it the moment I said it. Because at 26, I know in myself that I am far from having my life figured out. (If you do, let me know because I would love to get to know you!) However, I make sure to work actively towards achieving that goal, and it starts with building confidence, finding a passion, and serving your purpose.

1. Seek out your Passion

This comes in knowing what you do best. It is your innate talent, the unique way on how you approach the work you do. It is not necessary for it to be your job (although it definitely can be!) For me, my passion has always been creating content – whether it be thru writing, art, photos, etc. Think of the many things you enjoy doing, then out of those nitpick out the things that you enjoy doing most.

2. Identify your Purpose

Your purpose is something you do that provides you with a deep sense of fulfillment. Having a purpose directs your life and gives you a reason to wake up every single day. I get this from my work as an Operating Room Nurse. My purpose? To be able to make a difference in the lives of everyone, everyday, in every or any way.

3. Believe in Yourself

This is something that is very hard because confidence is a tricky thing. You may be confident one moment then it all ceases to exist the next. That is why it is important that you actively choose to believe in yourself – no matter the circumstance. The key is to be open to questioning yourself every step of the way – minus the doubt that you might not be good enough for it. Being confident is knowing that you might possibly make mistakes, but also believing that even if you do – you’ll come out of it wiser and stronger than ever, armed with lessons you can use for the next one.

As someone who juggles being a lot of things all at the same time, it is imperative for me to have the proper mindset most days – because having the right perspective is also very important and can influence how you go thru your tasks day by day. Aside from taking care of your mind and body (I try my best to inject exercise into my lifestyle!), confidence can also be attained with how you present yourself on the outside. This includes the way you look, the way you dress, and the way you carry yourself – alone or with other people.

A few weeks back, I received probably the lightest pair of intimates I ever had to wear on my body. The AVON innerwear line powered by INIVISILITE Technology to provide women the ultimate comfort and support that #FeelsLikeFreedom. I tried it on and under  my clothes as I transitioned thru the day – from work (I work as a full-time Nurse) to play (I met up with a close friend from college and we spent the rest of the day at the Spa, running errands at a nearby mall, and eating a sumptuous dinner) 

Let’s be honest girls. Taking off your bra is one of the many things we look forward to at the end of the day, but on this particular day, I didn’t find the need to do so, because it literally felt like I was wearing nothing. The SONIA Pullover bra was made with ultra soft fabric that provided enough support (although I have to admit, I should have gotten a size smaller!) without straining my back and shoulders like how other bras would when worn for more than eight hours. The SONIA panty on the other hand also did a tremendous job. It had no stitches and was virtually undetectable (even under sheer fabrics!) and so unbelievably light I even had a mild panic attack because I thought I left the spa and forgot to wear underwear! LOL! Having a pair or two of seamless underwear is a wardrobe essential – because the right underwear can totally make or break your outfit!

Three words to describe the Body Illusion set: Easy, Light, and Comfy!

SONIA Pull Over Bra (P799), SONIA Seamless Panty (P299)

The road to a more confident you will never be a straightforward journey. What I can tell you however, is just to enjoy every moment, learn from any mistakes made, and never stop believing in yourself. Celebrate every little victory, and welcome tomorrow with open arms – and the lightest pair of underwear. You know, just in case!
