After coaching thousands of people from all over the world over the past decade I have found some simple yet highly effective ways to increase the joy and happiness you allow yourself to experience.

What is blocking joy from your life?

So, what does block you and me from experiencing the fullness of our JOY?

Often times, especially for women, we put everyone’s needs and everything else on our “to-do” list in front of our own simple pleasures.

And we don’t realize the long-term impact of this over the course of years.…

Self-confident people are admired by others and inspire confidence in others.

They face their fears head-on and tend to be risk-takers.

Those who strongly believe in themselves and in their ability to accomplish a particular challenge are much more likely to have success.

So our self-confidence is quite important as it is directly related to what actions we are willing to take in our life.

Also, the strength or weakness of our self-confidence will likely determine the success when we do take action.
