I have confidence in confidence alone....

Ever since I had my daughter I've completely LOST my confidence. I used to stand in front of a group and speak with confidence. There is nothing like it when you have it...there is nothing more scary when you've lost it. Where did it go in the three months I was on Maternity Leave? Its been IMPOSSIBLE to get back -- and causing me more stress and worry than I really should be having.

Ugh...I need my confidence back. Dialing 911-Confidence HELP!

(oh and could I have it back before my class at 10 PM EST tomorrow? Thanks!)



And a song for this occassion....

From the Sound of Music -- edited for relevancy.

What will this day be like? I wonder.
What will my future be? I wonder.
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?
.....

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack

The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
...

And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!
