In order to gain the level of confidence you want, you have to stop focusing so much on what other people think. Does that sound counterintuitive to you? It shouldn’t. Only insecure people base their status on what other people think. You need to stop trying to impress other people and start trying to impress yourself! Don’t get carried away with other people’s drama and expectations. Do something that will make you proud of yourself and your ego will take care of itself.

Plan some alone time today. You need to relax and recharge. There will be plenty of days to hit the social scene, so make today about regaining your center.

Now is a great time to make things even better between you. Bring up whatever you think could stand a bit of improvement (nicely, of course) and see where your imagination takes you.

It’s hard to get back in the saddle again. Your earning ability takes a dip, if only from your slow start. You make up for it later in the day, though. Until then, remind yourself to persevere.
