Ever wonder how some people seem to radiate confidence effortlessly? The secret isn’t just mindset — it's discipline and routine. The Yoga Sutras, written by Sage Patanjali over 5,000 years ago, hold timeless wisdom that still applies today. By embracing key practices like loving-kindness, mindful movement, and intentional breathing, you can build a powerful foundation for inner strength and self-assurance. Ready to unlock your true potential? Here's how ancient wisdom can guide your modern journey to confidence.

1. Discipline & Routine For Confidence

The text of The Yoga Sutras is ancient and is written by my man (or woman), Sage Patanjali over 5,000 years ago. The teachings still hold true, even now, in modern times. The Yamas are the first five staples to support the structure within your true self. The Niyamas are commitments with the discipline.

2. Commit To Loving Kindness

Let go of what isn’t serving you. Nurture what is serving your life, and give with the overflow.

3. That Flow, Though

Asana is a yoga posture. The breath is unrestricted and rhythmic - if we can’t breathe, the purpose is defeated. A morning routine of asana finds the body limber for the day, as well as circulates lymph and blood throughout the body. This means positive heart health, metabolism, joint mobility, and confidence. Asana brings us back into body-mind coherence.

4. Breathe

Everything is connected to your breath. Shallow breathing triggers the sympathetic nervous system, also known as fight or flight. This releases poisonous hormones as a warning sign to our body, and we deteriorate when they are released regularly. Deep belly breathing nourishes and creates a feeling of abundance. When in a state of abundance, we can breathe more easily. How we breathe creates our life.

5. Giving is Life

Contribution is one of the six basic human needs, not want, but need. When we give unconditionally, it releases the feel-good hormone oxytocin, and we actually feel better than if we were to receive it. Our brain rewards us for giving. The feel-good wave lasts for a couple of hours after the fact. When giving up a bad habit, it needs to be replaced with something else or the habit comes back with shame sprinkles. Replace the addiction with giving. It will last longer, and the act of kindness will inspire others to do the same. You are an example. Be the voice of change.
