Recently, My daughter and I went to see Meghan Trainor in concert. As part of our package, we got to attend soundcheck and meet her. As part of the soundcheck session, Meghan graciously let the people in attendance ask her any question they wanted to. I found one question asked by a young girl to be intriguing. The question was “how do you have so much confidence to perform on stage?” Meghan’s response was an interesting one. She said that she gets nervous before she performs but she does it anyway. She also said being a songwriter and writing songs about being confident and feeling good about yourself that people can then sing builds her up too. I thought it was a great example of having the right mindset and practicing what you want. To have confidence, you need to believe in yourself and have a positive attitude. Some would also say “fake it till you make it”. Sometimes a mindset shift is all that may be needed to achieve what you want.
