Are You Destroying Your Self-Confidence
Without self-confidence, you stall out. You struggle to accomplish things or even to get through the day. You might set goals, but you don’t realize them. In extreme cases, you become invisible, unnoticed at work when it comes time for promotion, or seen only lurking in dark corners at social functions. What’s worse is 9 times out of 10, we’ve done it to ourselves. We’re killing our self-confidence every day by the very choices we make.
So, what can you do when you’ve knocked your self-confidence down to nothing and need to build it back up again? I will discuss some simple tips you can use to improve self-confidence in this podcast episode.

In 90 days, go from having social anxiety to being a social butterfly.
Social anxiety is the fear or apprehension that you'll be judged negatively by others in a social situation. Social anxiety might seem harmless, but it can profoundly affect many parts of your life. You learned to be fearful in social cases. Therefore, you can also teach yourself to be more comfortable in social settings.
This podcast will cover an effective plan to help you erase years of social anxiety in just 90 days. If you're currently experiencing social anxiety and lack the social life you desire, know that you have everything necessary within you to enhance your social life and sense of well-being.
Let me tell you how...
How Finding Your Purpose Can Make You Happy
But what does all that have to do with making you happy? Taking the time to figure out how you can help others and then doing just that is a powerful thing. We are social creatures and hardwired to help our community when we make it a daily goal to do just that; it’s an enriching experience.
Yes, part of it is because we’ll be thanked or recognized for what we’re doing, but that’s only a tiny part. Doing good will make you happy even when no one else knows about it. There’s an internal reward built in. We feel good about ourselves. Our self-worth grows, and with it, our self-esteem.

How to Fight Negative Thoughts and Feelings
A negative thought refers to an idea that makes you feel bad. It’s a thought that causes stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, frustration, worry, guilt, embarrassment, blame, resentment, jealousy, or fear.
For example, if you think, “I’m not smart enough,” this is a negative thought because you’ve made yourself believe something about yourself that isn’t true. You’ll feel bad because you’ve turned negative thoughts into a belief.
So how do you deal with negative thoughts...

15 Ways To Become Unstoppable
What makes someone unstoppable? It’s doing the right things each day. Those “right” things ensure you’re relaxed, focused, and spending time on your goals. It’s about maintaining your health, too. Are you “unstoppable” or “easily stopped?”
Make yourself unstoppable. You can do plenty of little things each day to make yourself more successful in every part of life. Avoid the belief that success is hard. It’s just about consistently doing the right things. You can do that.
Constant Motivation Is Key To Success
Getting yourself too pumped for an upcoming big project can backfire.
The fact is, if you’re set and ready to go for a long time before you start, you burn off the motivation before the project begins.
Sometimes it’s feels like being in the middle of the great swamp and you can barely focus on the reason you took the project on in the first place.
What you didn’t realize is that motivation is something that must be renewed and refreshed. This episode will give you some points to consider to help boost your motivation.

Why Is It So Hard To Accept Yourself
It’s easier to talk about what we prefer to look like rather than feel content about our current looks. We tend to talk about how life would be easier if only we lost ten pounds or had the perfect skin or different hair.
Now some people are happy with their current looks. Many people don’t doubt that they’d be pretty content if they looked in a magazine. But most people aren’t satisfied with what they see in the mirror today. And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with trying to look better.
But most of the time, we try in vain to achieve things that are simply out of our control. Believe it or not, sometimes we can tell we’re trying in vain. But we don’t stop. Accepting ourselves can be one of the hardest things we do.
So Why Is It So Hard to Accept Ourselves?This episode is also available as a blog post: https://capriciouslee.com/2022/04/30/why-is-it-so-hard-to-accept-yourself/
Strengthen Your Sense Of Self
Your sense of self influences your thoughts, emotions, and actions. At the same time, a sense of self refers to a person’s self as a product of their beliefs, ideas, and perceptions.
Your personality traits, likes and dislikes, moral code, and belief system combine to define your unique identity.
A person with a strong sense of self finds it easy to understand and communicate these different aspects that form them. On the other hand, a person who finds it hard to express these characteristics tends to have a less defined sense of self.
Try these strategies to reduce negative thoughts by clarifying your sense of self.

Top 10 Secrets You Didn’t Learn In School
High school is good preparation for college. And college can be a good preparation for finding a job. Yet neither is very good at preparing you for general success in life.

Dear Miss Side Chick, Stop Being Okay With Second Place
The side chick vs main chick debate often never ends well. As a side-chick, you are seen as a homewrecker, a careless and vile person who does not want to see love thrive. Men keep side mistresses for various reasons. He may keep you as the side dish because he wants to officially end things with his main girl before making you his only one.

So how do you evolve from being a mere side chick to the main chick? In this episode we are going to discuss three points:

Episode #045: My life is a work in progress
Affirmations are written or spoken positive statements that, when consistently practiced, rewire our thoughts and beliefs (and therefore emotions). If you have a negative belief (or common thought) that causes you to feel bad, you can replace it with an empowering thought. If you repeat it to yourself regularly, such as when the negative belief is triggered AND at pre-determined times of the day, you practice this new belief, helping it become ingrained into your implicit, automatic, memory. Over time this thought becomes habituated and you BELIEVE it.
In this podcast, I wanted to share with you an affirmation: My life is a work in progress.
Each day, remind yourself that you are on an ever-changing journey, and you need to move forward to create another important piece of your life.

Episode #44: Master the Art of Small Talk
Not everyone was born with the gift of gab or the social confidence of a talk-show host. For the introverted or poorly skilled, small talk can be intimidating and anxiety producing. Most small talk is inconsequential, but an important part of events where people gather.
You just might meet your new best friend, love of your life, or future employer at your next event.
At the very least, you can learn to look forward to social events.
Use these strategies to master small talk in any social environmentThis episode is also available as a blog post: https://capriciouslee.com/2021/10/26/master-the-art-of-small-talk/
Episode #043: Reclaiming Your Confidence
Once upon a time, you were confident. Children start out that way. It’s what enables them to reach for a hand or flat surface to pull themselves up to standing when they’re just beginning to walk. It’s how they play and learn and grow. Visit any playground, and you’ll see this kind of confidence in action in a thousand different ways.
Sadly, confidence isn’t a constant thing. We’re never entirely, fully confident. So, while we might find the courage to ask out that special someone, we might find this same confidence faltering when we think about asking them to marry us after months of dating. Or we’re confident enough to do well on the job interview but lack the confidence to ask for a raise even though we’ve been at the job a while now and know we deserve it. A lot of times this is because something along the way has shaken our confidence, if not broken it outright.
This podcast episode is about fixing all that.
Episode #042: You Need To Build A Stronger Ego
Episode #042: You Need To Build A Stronger Ego
In self-help literature, we often read about the benefits of diminishing or eliminating the ego. Many write as though the ideal existence involves giving away all their stuff and doing away with attachment to anything. If that’s truly your calling, then go for it!
But what if you want to just be a regular person and feel good about yourself? What if you want to have a rich and exciting life, whether or not you have material abundance? Is there a way?
Instead of associating ego with detrimental personal traits, you could associate a strong ego with strong character. With a developed ego, you learn to have a healthy sense of self. And a healthy sense of self helps you be a person of character.

Episode #041: Why Not Get Your Bucket List Together
Episode #041: Why Not Get Your Bucket List Together
You probably first heard of a "bucket list" (a list of things you want to do before you die) after watching the movie, "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own bucket list?
If you've been putting it off, maybe now is the time to put pen to paper (or use your computer) and start your list. Doing the things you've always wanted to do, but never got around to, can be incredibly fulfilling!
Let your mind go. Give yourself the freedom to think about all the things you've always dreamed of doing. Then write them down.
In this podcast, I will share with you some sample bucket list items to find inspiration for your own list of things to fulfill before you "kick the bucket."
This episode is also available as a blog post: https://capriciouslee.com/2021/09/09/why-not-get-your-bucket-list-together/
Episode #040: The Breakdown
The breakdown. How do you move a mountain? One shovelful at a time. It’s a cute saying, but how many of us grab the shovel and start frantically banging away at the mountain, trying to whittle it down through sheer brute force?
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the size of the mountain. It’s easy to get frustrated and angry because the challenge seems insurmountable. That’s why so many ideas to help change your life fail—the frustration gives us an out, a way to rid ourselves of something so vast. It’s an open invitation for defeatism and defeatist thinking.
So how do you move a mountain? You make it into a series of tasks. You have the end goal; now you have to make your timeline. The catch is – you need to make it backward. You need to start with the year-long goal first and then slice it into 12 parts (one for each month). Then slice each of those into four sections (one for each week) and then each of those into seven (one for each day). See the pattern?
In this transcript from my blog I will share with you some methods to break it all down with ease.

Episode 39: 14 Habits Guaranteed to Make You Love Yourself More
Loving yourself makes you stronger and happier. You’re more likely to put forth the effort to reach your goals when you appreciate your value. You’re bound to feel more content because you’ll treat yourself with compassion and respect, and seek out others who will do the same.
Instead of making you selfish, loving yourself increases your capacity and willingness to serve others. On the other hand, that kind of confidence can be difficult to conjure up if you’re used to self-criticism and doubts.
Whether you’re wild about the face you see in the mirror or trying to become a little more accepting, maybe it’s time to look at your relationship with yourself. Try out these habits that are guaranteed to help you love yourself more.

Episode #037: A Startling Fact About Performance Anxiety
Choking under pressure is a common response whether you’re playing the lead in the third grade Christmas play or giving an important business presentation. Unfortunately, about 90% of people handle stressful situations poorly.
A recent experiment shows that getting excited works better than trying to calm down. During a public singing contest, students were given various instructions. Those who said, “I am excited,” scored an average of 81% compared to 69% for those who said, “I am anxious,” and 53% for those who said, “I am calm.”
Learn how to use anxiety to your advantage when you’re in high-stress situations. These tips will help you to perform better even when your palms are sweating.

Episode #34: Who is Cynthia Lee
Who is Cynthia Lee?
Hi, there, friends! I wanted to do this video to explain a bit of myself and why I started my Coaching Business, Capricious Lee, LLC. However, to fully explain the story and why I started my business, I would need to take you back 30 years where it all started.
My mother always told me that my skin was too dark, my nose was too big, I was not girlie enough, and I didn’t speak as a proper girl should. She enrolled me in etiquette classes, cooking classes, sewing classes and made me push up to make my back strong so I wouldn’t slouch, and I got in trouble if I didn’t cross my legs and always presented myself as a proper lady. My mom put bleaching cream on my face, and after school, she would put a clothespin on my nose to try to make it smaller. Throughout my early childhood, I felt ugly. I felt like I was not good enough. I felt so small. My self-esteem and confidence were at their lowest point as I made my way into my teenage years.

Episode #033:Side-Stepping a Midlife Crisis
Episode #033:Side-Stepping a Midlife Crisis
How’s this for irony? The term “midlife crisis” was coined by a 48-year-old man. A midlife crisis refers to the tendency of people in early middle age to undergo an emotional exploration of self-identity. Whether this actually occurs or if it was just an idea perpetuated by TV sitcoms is immaterial.
One of the most frustrating consequences of this concept is that if you dare to take on a new habit in your 40s, people will assume you’re having an identity crisis. But in your 20s, you could have taken on a new habit every year, and people would just think you’re quirky.
There is some merit to this midlife crisis hubbub. People begin to reflect on their accomplishments. They begin to think about where they’ve been and where they’re going.
For those who have been building their careers for the last 20 to 30 years, there may be the sudden realization that retirement is nearing, and that if they’re ever going to pursue their true passion, they’d better get cracking.

Irma and I break down some stereotypes concerning "Daddy Issues" and how it relates to your overall sense of self.

Episode #025: Introspection Achievement – Unlocked
Episode #025: Introspection Achievement – Unlocked
Life is a journey that is scary and difficult. But it’s easier when you have the companionship of another walking in your direction. And while we travel in life, we’ll collect trinkets, memories, and stories. Over time, this accumulation will begin to weigh us down. It is certainly easier to leave things behind to help our journey. However, those “things” are a part of us – kept for their evanescent sense of value. Dropping a part of ourselves at the first sign of trouble is a faux high, that once faded will reveal that we never really unloaded anything at all – we can only bury the truth within ourselves. To be at peace is to become strong enough to carry the load, to follow the path of those who have successfully walked where we’re going. We are mightier than we realize if we allow ourselves to be mighty.

You’re a unique person with nuances that are unique to you!
When you are aligned with what you do, you’re living authentically. But most of us view ourselves in one way and live another. Authentic people act honestly and congruently.

Episode 21: Are You Living in Denial? Break Free With These Strategies
Ostriches don’t really bury their heads in the sand. However, that is an apt image for what happens when we try to deny our troubles instead of dealing with them.
Denial is a common defense mechanism for avoiding facts that make us uncomfortable. In the short term, it can be constructive if it helps us to gradually come to terms with upsetting news.
Troubles arise when our refusal to face reality becomes chronic. Then, the activities and excuses we use to try to cover up our situation start to backfire. We often wind up making our difficulties even worse.
To make progress, it’s important to move past denial. If you’re feeling stuck, try these practical suggestions.

Episode 1: My Beautiful Women, Get Back On Your Throne And Watch The Misogynist Fall
My beautiful women, get back on your throne and watch the misogynist fall. During the early years of this country, women were not entitled to the same rights and privileges as men. Women were not allowed to vote and were usually required to surrender control of their property to their husband upon marriage. Moreover, their educational and occupational opportunities were severely limited. It was commonly believed that a woman's place was in the home, raising children and tending to domestic affairs. And with this toxic mindset of the past and present, some men have exploited the generational sexism and profited of off women’s insecurities.

Personal boundaries are important for several reasons. They serve as barriers to protect your self-esteem.

Without limits, you’re a victim to the whims of those around you. Personal boundaries are about respecting yourself and demanding respect from others.
