The Secret To Embodying Confidence & Taking Bold Action

 

Kiana Ng

I don’t think you’re going to like what I’m about to say when it comes to the truth about embodying confidence & taking bold action…

Here’s the thing about embodying confidence & taking bold action: it’s directly correlated to how well you know yourself, your level of self love, & your ability to overcome the parts of yourself that you want to hide.

That’s the truth.

How do I know that this is the truth? Because I’ve experienced it.

If you knew me in high school, you’d know that I was a completely insecure girl who had no sense of who she was. I was incredibly shy and always wanted to keep myself small and hidden.

Over the course of the years following high school up until now, I’ve deepened my understanding of who I am and truly stepped into myself. I’m not going to lie, it took work and lots and lots of peeling back my layers.

I had to face my insecurities.

I had to face the parts of myself that I didn’t like & then learn to love them.

I had to peel off the societal pressure that made me feel like I wasn’t enough exactly as I am.

I had to do a lot of deep soul diving to uncover who I am at my core to realize that it’s untouchable & unbreakable.

Do I still have work to do? Of course, it’s a process & a beautiful journey to discover yourself.

Was it easy? Of course not, there was definitely blood, sweat & tears along the way.

But here’s what I’ve learned: my true self is bold & confident in its nature, just like yours. It’s just a matter of connecting to it & peeling back the layers that are covering you up.

The stronger level of self-connection that you have, the more you will naturally embody confidence that will lead you into taking bold action.

So how do you start to peel back these layers that are blocking your natural, beautiful, & confident self?

Start with this exercise to embody confidence & take bold action: stand in front of your mirror every morning & every night and tell her/him that you love her/him at least 10x out loud.

It’s going to feel awkward & uncomfortable at first, but it teaches you to see yourself in a new light, which is the first step; changing your self-perspective. You have to first be able to see yourself before looking deeper at your insecurities. Once you’re comfortable verbalizing this exercise, you’re ready to dive deeper.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into yourself to embody confidence & take bold action, then book a call with me here so that we can work together to peel back your layers that are blocking you from a deeper level of self-connection and self-confidence.

What Is Life Empowerment Coaching?

 

Kiana Ng

What is life empowerment coaching?

Life empowerment coaching is about empowering the parts of your life that are stopping you from connecting to your true power and living freely, confidently and authentically.

So what does this actually mean?

This means that we’ll work together to heal your insecurities, fears, and anxieties so that you can live a more joy-filled life. This might mean that we cover anything from relationship problems to personal healing to career guidance. I’ll work with you to get down to the root of the blocks and blindspots in your life that are holding you back and require healing.

Ever since I experienced my life-changing moment that shifted me from a place of disempowerment to one of confidence, power, and authenticity, I’ve found my passion in helping others make the same shift. To read more about my personal story to empowerment, click here.

My work is based around something called the Emotional Scale of Empowerment where I work to help shift you up into the emotions that are higher resonating &, generally, more empowered. To learn more about this scale and how it works, click here.

Ever since I began my journey of entrepreneurship & as a yoga teacher, I knew that my purpose was to help others heal. So that’s what I’m here to do for you in any of our coaching sessions together.

How To: Common Beginner Yoga Poses Unraveled

 

Kiana Ng

Whether you’re new to yoga and wanting to get a heads up before walking into a class, or you’re more experienced but need a refresher, these poses will shine some light on the common beginner yoga poses you’re likely to see in a yoga class.

There are hundreds of beginner poses that I could break down, but I’m going to give you the scoop on just a handful of what you’ll most likely see in any yoga class.

  • Biceps spiralling in/forwards
  • Shoulder blades broad & wrapping towards side body
  • Shoulders slightly elevated towards ears
  • Ribs drawn in

My Favourite Technique To Move On & Let Go

My Favourite Technique To Move On and Let Go

 

Kiana Ng

Letting go and moving on is a process that takes courage to peel back the emotional layers of hurt, anger & grief. Below is one my favourite ways to move on and let go.

Let’s talk about the burn ritual.

The Burn Ritual is my favourite way to move on and let go.

So how does it work?

First, grab a piece of pen & paper, or your favourite journal.

Next, write out a letter to anyone involved in the situation you’re trying to let go of. This is your time to let it all out. Don’t hold back. Your letter(s) might be 1 page, or they might be 10. The point of this part is to let out any buried emotion that hasn’t been expressed yet. Make sure you’re in your own sacred space while you do this so that you’re not interrupted or rushing the process.

Once your letters are done, it’s time to burn them.

When you’re ready to burn your letters, make it ritualistic so that it feels like an act of moving on and letting go, rather than just burning paper. Set the intention that by burning these letters, you’re letting the past go. Ask the universe (or any God you believe in) to help cleanse you of the past. If it feels right to you, re-read each letter before you burn it.

Once all of your letters are burned, sit with the ending for a while. If you’re outside (which I encourage), connect to the earth and let it cleanse and wash you anew. Several loud exhales may be required. Or a big cry. Take your time here. It’s important to feel the ending.

When you’re ready to move on with the rest of your day, I encourage you to spend it alone with gentle acts of self-care so that you can sit in the neutral zone that comes right before a new beginning.

Be kind to yourself through this process.

With love,

Use This Technique To Uncover Your Truth

Use This Technique To Uncover Your Truth

 

Kiana Ng

It’s so easy to get lost in the labels, names, and distinctions that the world places on us that we forget how to come back home to ourselves. That’s why I’m sharing this technique to uncover your truth.

Everyone has felt lost at some point in their lives, but even more so now with the increasing stress & pressure from society to fit in, belong, and therefore be a certain way. In the effort to try and please, fit in, and be accepted, we forget our own truth.

A great way to come back home to yourself and your truth is by stating the facts following the words, “My truth is…”

Let me give you an example of a few of my truths:

My truth is that sometimes I’m an introvert, and sometimes I’m an extrovert.

My truth is that I love self-healing and personal growth.

My truth is that I’m sensitive, although I might not always show it.

My truth is that I’m a teacher and giver at heart.

My truth is that I value self expression.

My truth is that I’m still learning how to be my true, authentic self all the time.

My truth is that I’ve spent a lot of my life finding my voice.

My truth is that I’m still finding my voice.

My truth is that I’m strong, independent, and powerful.

My truth is that I love peace, love, and beauty.

 

I could go on.

So when you do this exercise for yourself, I’m not talking about who you are based on the roles and names society’s given you (ex. yoga teacher, coach, mother, son, etc.). When you do this exercise, finish the sentence with who you really are at your core, what you’re learning about yourself, what your story is, or anything else that feels like an authentic truth to you.

So what’s your truth?

Drop your truth’s in the comments.
