If you’re on your awakening journey, have broken through limiting beliefs, and let go of programs that no longer serve you…You may be ready to be in service to humanity and show others how you’ve healed yourself back to wholeness. A frequent dilemma lightworkers, way-showers, or healers wrestle with is how to step into their superpowers yet keep the ego at bay. In some cases, this quandary of not wanting to be misperceived delays individuals from being in complete alignment with their calling.
In this blog, I go deeper into how to overcome these ideas. I’ve always been sensitive about people saying, “Oh, you want to be famous.” No, I want to be an influencer so that I leverage my inner wisdom and help others access theirs. Let’s dissect the differences between confidence that comes from the ego versus the soul’s plan
Ego Confidence is built on external validation.
It thrives on comparison, achievement, status, and the need to prove worthiness to oneself or others. Ego confidence often sounds like this:
- “Look what I’ve done.”
- “I am better because of these accolades, titles, or results.”
- “I am powerful because I can impress you.”
It’s highly sensitive to success or failure because its foundation is external. When things go well, ego confidence inflates. When things go wrong, it deflates, causing self-doubt, shame, or overcompensation.
Soul Confidence, however, comes from within.
It’s rooted in the intrinsic knowing that you are worthy, valuable, and powerful — not because of what you’ve achieved, but because of who you inherently are. Soul confidence often feels like:
- “I trust myself because I know who I am beyond titles or outcomes.”
- “I am here to serve, not to impress.”
- “My value is not dependent on anyone else’s opinion.”
It’s quiet yet powerful. It doesn’t require boasting, and yet it doesn’t hide its gifts. Soul confidence speaks when necessary and stays silent when it serves — not out of fear, but out of wisdom.
Why It’s Challenging for Awakened Individuals to “Boast” About Themselves
When you’re awakening, your inner compass becomes more attuned to authenticity, humility, and connection to the whole. Self-promotion that feels rooted in ego (even slightly) can feel energetically dissonant — like trying to wear a costume that doesn’t fit anymore. The inner dialogue might sound like this:
- “Am I making this about me instead of the greater good?”
- “Is it wrong to draw attention to myself?”
- “If I speak about my gifts, am I betraying my humility?”
Additionally, collective consciousness (especially spiritual communities) can reinforce these beliefs with silent programming like:
- “A truly spiritual person should be invisible.”
- “Self-promotion equals arrogance.”
- “Helping others is the reward — no recognition is necessary.”
This creates a double bind:
You want to serve and share your medicine with the world, but you hesitate to fully claim your visibility.
How to Overcome These Limiting Beliefs
1. Reframe “Boasting” as “Owning.”
You’re not inflating yourself — you are acknowledging the gifts you’ve developed and are entrusted with. It’s an act of service to let others know how you can help them awaken or heal.
✨ Affirmation: “I honor the gifts I carry because they are not just mine — they were given to be shared.”
2. Anchor in the Intention.
Before speaking about yourself, drop into your heart and ask:
“Am I sharing this to impress or to inspire and serve?”
If the answer is to serve, then speak boldly — it’s sacred.
3. Heal the Wound of “Visibility = Ego.”
Visibility is not vanity when it’s aligned with the soul’s purpose.
Think of yourself as a lighthouse: it’s not about shining to be admired but to help others find their way home.
4. Detach from Outcome.
Speak your truth. Share your journey. Then let go.
You are not responsible for how others receive you — you are responsible only for staying aligned with your authentic expression.
Here’s a practice that can help bring awareness
🌟 Soul Confidence Activation Practice 🌟
Duration: 3–5 minutes
1. Center Yourself.
Close your eyes.
Take 3 slow, deep breaths.
With each inhale, imagine breathing in golden-white light.
With each exhale, release tension, fear, and any need to prove.
2. Root into the Earth.
Visualize a strong beam of light extending from the base of your spine deep into the Earth’s core.
Feel yourself anchored, supported, unshakable.
Say silently or aloud:
“I am grounded. I am held. I am supported by all that is greater than me.”
3. Connect to Your Soul’s Mission.
Bring your awareness to your heart center.
Imagine a radiant light glowing there — a light that represents your soul’s purpose.
Feel it expand gently, like a warm sun inside your chest.
Whisper to yourself:
“I am here to serve, to awaken, to inspire.”
Feel the purity of your intention: it’s about sharing, not proving.
4. Call in Your Higher Self.
Imagine your Higher Self (the most radiant, wise version of you) stepping in and standing behind you.
Feel their hand on your shoulder.
They whisper:
“Speak as me. Shine as us. We are one.”
Let this presence merge with you — calm, wise, full of natural confidence.
5. Radiate, Don’t Promote.
See yourself radiating light outward naturally — like a lighthouse.
You’re not pushing. You’re not convincing.
You are simply being.
Those meant for you will feel it.
Affirm aloud:
“I radiate my truth.
I honor my gifts.
I serve with heart and soul.”
Final Breath:
Smile softly.
Open your eyes.
Trust that your words, energy, and presence are already enough.
Would you also like me to create a short mantra you can repeat silently right before you speak or go on-air? (Like a quick “power key” to lock you into soul-aligned energy?) 🌟
🗝️ Soul Confidence Mantra
(Repeat silently or aloud 3 times.)
“I am a vessel of light and truth.
I share not to prove but to serve.
My words are blessings. My presence is powerful.
I radiate from my soul, and those meant to receive will feel me.”
Optional shorter version (if you need it fast):
“I radiate truth. I serve with love. I am powerful.”
