How the right environment can bring back your confidence!
We often think of confidence as something we either have or we don’t. But the truth is, your environment plays a huge role in how you see yourself, how you act, and how much you believe in your own abilities. If you are feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or wondering where your spark went, it might not be you. It might be where you are. Here’s what we have learned..
Your surroundings shape your self-belief
Whether we realise it or not, we absorb the energy, values, and behaviours of the people and places around us.
A toxic, high-pressure, or unsupportive environment can slowly chip away at your confidence. A positive one can bring it roaring back.
Red flags to watch out for
You might be in the wrong place if:
You feel drained before you even start your day
Your ideas are regularly dismissed
You are shrinking yourself just to “fit in”
You rarely feel recognised, supported, or encouraged
Confidence grows with the right people
Find people who:
Celebrate your wins
Push you to grow
Make you feel seen and safe to be yourself
It’s okay to leave
Leaving a job (or any environment) that no longer serves you doesn’t make you disloyal; it means you are choosing growth. Choose spaces where you can be seen, heard, and your true authentic self, and watch your spark return.
