Just some thoughts on the personification of wisdom in proverbs “Wisdom’s Rebuke”. I still disagree with a lot of the church’s political teachings and am not sure about my own spirituality and relationship to the divine at the moment, but I was pleasantly surprised by this, so I thought I’d share it. #proverbs #bibleverse #christiantiktok #womeninthebible

I’m on season 2 of The Last Kingdom & wondering why Alfred, who is so intelligent, seems to resist this idea so much even though he embraced pagan assistance in season one. #thelastkingdom #christiantiktok #pagantiktok #theology

What happened to our silly schemes? Our mischief, even? (Mike if you see this I’m just joking and I so deeply appreciate your actual adult advice!! ❤️) #siblingsbelike #youngerbrother #oldersister #familymemes

Confidence is a state of feeling certain about something. Self-confidence specifically arises when you trust yourself to handle various situations in an effective, healthy way. Confidence is not the absence of fear or insecurity. Confidence is trust in yourself and your ability to handle whatever situations arise, positive or negative, despite your fears and insecurities. I struggled with confidence as a teenager. I thought I had to pretend to like how I looked and who I was to be confident. This approach, often called “faking it until you make it,” is effective for some people. For me, it just creates cognitive dissonance. Instead, I built confidence with continued exposure in controlled settings and by learning how to advocate for myself. For example, at one of my middle school pool parties, a boy told me I had thunder thighs, and a girl said my stomach looked weird. After that, I wore shirts over my swimsuits for a few years because I lacked the confidence to handle being made fun of again. I was a kid. It hurt. As I got older, I went to the pool early, when no one else was around, and practiced swimming without a shirt to get used to it. Now, as an adult, I feel confident in a swimsuit no matter who else is around. I trust myself to respond effectively and healthily if someone says something hurtful to me. As long as I’m following the rules for any given space, I have just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. Someone else’s problem with my appearance is exactly that: someone ELSE’s problem. I don’t always feel beautiful or fearless. But I DO trust myself to handle any insecurities, fears, mistakes, or potentially unpleasant encounters with strangers. I trust myself to validate my bad feelings without allowing them to control me or stop me from living my life, and THAT gives me the confidence to wear and do what I want. So how can you be more confident? Work on trusting yourself. Learn how to advocate for and defend yourself. Practice putting yourself in the scenarios that scare you in safe ways until you get used to them and trust yourself to handle them. You’ve got this! #selfconfidence #bodypositivity #bopotiktok #confidencetips

Separate your love, belief in potential, and support. Give them room to believe in themselves, too.
