Kumar's podcasts on Self-Belief & Confidence

Wishing you and your family an Abundant and Happy NEW YEAR 2021. In the current pandemic, there have been job losses, pay cuts and in such an upheaval it’s easy to ignore what you are worth. And in the economic crisis that resulted, it’s easy to lose sight of what you and your expertise would actually be worth thus ending up in undervaluing yourself in terms of expertise and value. True worth is a combination of knowing your value as well as self worth. Both these qualities of Values and Self Worth are inextricably linked. Your True Worth is measured by who you are at your core. True Worth is Believing in yourself, believing that you are worthy, irrespective of relationship, position, status, professional success, your financial wealth, or your looks.

Wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas. Procrastination is the act of unnecessarily postponing decisions or actions. It is said that Everyone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator. My 35th podcast is on PROCRASTINATION, and ways to overcome it. What causes procrastination are few reasons – Phobia Fear, Poor Lifestyle and Low Energy levels, Insecurity, No Focus and Obsession with perfection. In this podcast I have detailed how procrastination was the cause and how I was able to overcome it before getting into podcasting. Just like the Nike ad that says “YESTERDAY YOU SAID TOMORROW – JUST DO IT”, getting over procrastination is by understanding the why, taking baby steps and backing your ability.
