The Secret to Self-Confidence
I don't know about you, but I am doing a happy dance knowing that school is back in session.

This makes so much sense because with a routine and schedule, my brain knows what to expect. There is a calm that washes over me knowing there’s a plan in place.

I think of self-confidence as the holy grail of feelings but for many, happiness is the elusive emotion they long for more of in their day-to-day lives. There's language embedded into our collective dialogue that perpetuates this yearning – from the “Pursuit of Happiness” to “and they all lived happily ever after.” Surprisingly though, not many people are happy.
