Why Courage is so Important and How to Build it

This month, I’m keen to embrace my inner lion and be more courageous. It is Leo season after all! Today, I’m gonna teach you 6 ways on how to build your courage!

But first, why is courage important? 

Courage is not something everyone has. It’s hard to build it, as it means believing in yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. It’s a strong sense of confidence that cannot be broken. 

Remember the Lion in Wizard of Oz, he was cowardly and not courageous at the beginning of the movie. And he built on it and became stronger, braver, and wiser. 

How can I build it?

  1. Be positive! - When you’re positive, you can banish that voice in your head telling you that you don’t have what it takes! Positivity is key. 

  2. Try things you’re scared of - If you try small things that you’re scared of, you can build your confidence every day. 

  3. Be okay with failure - Put yourself out there and if you fail… so what? Did you learn something? You’re a winner then! 

  4. Think about what fear is… Fear is simply (or not so simply) chemicals reacting to a situation. You are bigger and better than it! 

  5. Meditate… slow down - Take a breather and get your meditation on. Peace is the moment before courage. You’ve got this. 

  6. Face it - Is there something you need to build your courage to do? You know what… just do it. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! 

Okay, it’s now in your hand’s beautiful souls! Are you ready to take courage in your stride?
