Amanda Hess Coaching

What I’d tell you if you were my client and already decided you’re not qualified:

You didn’t get rejected.

You rejected yourself first.

You looked at the requirements…

Decided it wasn’t worth your time…

And quietly opted out.

But let me ask you this:

What if you’re more qualified than you think?
What do you bring that no one else does?
What makes you a fit — not just on paper, but as a human?

And can it also be true…

That even if you don’t get the job,
your life still works out better because of it?

That’s the kind of thinking that actually builds confidence.

Not repeating “I’m confident.”

Not journaling the same thoughts over and over.

But learning how to see yourself differently.

“Why Mantras & Journaling Aren’t Working (And What To Do Instead)”

Why journaling and mantras might be keeping you stuck — even when you’re doing everything “right.”

Drop a 🙌 if you’ve ever wondered why positive affirmations feel hollow or ineffective.I used to believe in the power of mantras—saying “I’m confident” over and over. But no matter how many times I repeated it, my inner world stayed the same.

Turns out, your brain isn’t convinced just because you say so. It resists affirmations that don’t match how you truly feel, creating internal conflict and anxiety.

And journaling? Most women aren’t actually processing their thoughts—they’re just reinforcing negative patterns. Your brain loves to find what’s wrong, which keeps you stuck in the survival mode cave.

The real shift isn’t in more affirmations or venting on paper. It’s learning how to ask better questions—questions that challenge your beliefs and open up possibility.

What if the way you think about yourself isn’t the truth? ⁓ And what new stories could you create if you started asking instead of telling?

Remember, change isn’t about controlling your thoughts—it’s about questioning them.
Are you ready to try a different way?
