90% of my CONFIDENCE comes from this… 👇

And you’re probably ignoring it.

Remember Tamagotchis?

Those little digital pets you had to constantly feed, check in on and keep alive or they’d die?

Turns out... YOU are the Tamagotchi.

But most people never "check in" with themselves.

They ignore their needs.

They bury their emotions.

They rush through life, completely disconnected from their inner world.

If you want REAL confidence?

It starts with this one habit:

💥 Check in with yourself. Constantly. 💥

Throughout the day, pause and ask yourself:

▶️ “How do I feel right now?”
▶️ “Am I stressed?”
▶️ “Is my nervous system begging for a reset?”

This isn’t some cheesy mindfulness trick.

This is how you build emotional safety... And emotional safety is the foundation of confidence!

Most people only feel okay when:

✅ They’re performing.
✅ They’re impressing.
✅ They’re getting approval.

They say “yes” when they mean “no.”

They suppress anxiety because “now’s not the time.”

They swallow anger to keep the peace.

But every time you do that? You’re abandoning yourself.

You’re punching your "inner Tamagotchi" in the face.

👉 And the more you abandon yourself to please others… The more disconnected and insecure you become.

You need to remember who you were BEFORE you started rejecting yourself!

Watch "The Lion King" again... I mean it.

Simba thought he was a bug-eater because he forgot who he was.

Then Mufasa shows up and says: “Remember who you are.”

He doesn't say: "Just be yourself."

Because Simba’s “self” had been shaped by fear and shame.

Same with you.

Your personality isn’t your truth.

❌ It’s a mask.
❌ A performance.
❌ A survival strategy.

You’ve been dimming your light and performing for people who don’t even know you.

The work isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering who you were before you started rejecting yourself.

So start checking in with yourself like your life depends on it.

Not just when you're stressed.

Not just when you’re spiraling.

All the time.

Set reminders.

And when fear, anger or anxiety shows up?

Don’t shove it down.

Don’t judge it.

Just be with it.

Because those emotions aren’t trying to ruin your life.

They're begging to be seen, held and heard.

And the moment you start showing up for them...

You’ll feel something most people never do:

🔥 Grounded.
🔥 Whole.
🔥 Unshakably confident.

Because now? You’re finally on your own side.
