Making the deliberate choice to feel good can boost your confidence

“You need to be deliberate in what you want, otherwise life will give you whatever it wants to and you won’t have a choice. So using affirmations like writing down your goals and creating steps towards them is the best thing to being deliberate.”

In this episode, Jibs Abitoye, a city councillor in Fort Saskatchewan and CEO of Divineity joins founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska to talk about the true meaning of confidence and why feeling good and looking good doesn’t come from external approval but is truly a habit of the mind.
