The first step to finding faith is to act as if you already have it. It’s the “Fake it till you make it” mentality. Usually this saying applies to gaining confidence in situations, like when you’re trying to get a job or promotion. But in this case you’re “faking” confidence in you. When you begin to act as if you already have personal faith, then everything you do will be done with confidence and positivity. Once you’re ready and willing to act on faith, try the following practice.
Begin by creating a “Life To-Do List”. It can be a type of bucket list, but it should incorporate things big and small that you want to achieve. Think about hobbies you want to try, places you want to visit, or new foods you want to make. Write down your dreams of sky-diving, speaking another language, or learning how to swim. Let your mind wander to when you were a kid and recall the life you dreamt of having. Is there some aspect that you can incorporate now?
