How Self-Efficacy & How It Fuels Self-Care
Hey Queen, Hey!
This week, we're diving deeper into our Self-Efficacy series with a sparkle of empowerment and a dash of self-care wisdom. Because, let’s be real, knowing you can crush your goals is the first step to actually crushing them—yes, I’m talking about the power of believing in yourself, Queen!
Let's Recap
Self-efficacy is all about that belief in your own abilities to handle whatever life throws your way. It’s like having your cheerleader living inside your head, constantly whispering, “You’ve got this, queen!” And let’s be real, who doesn’t want that?
The Magic Link Between Self-Efficacy and Self-Care
Now, here’s the scoop (or, as I would normally say it, "Oh, girl let me tell ya!): when you boost your self-efficacy, you’re not just upping your game at work or in your life. You’re also amping up your self-care routine. Let's talk about it:
Goal-Setting Glam: High self-efficacy means you’re more likely to set those juicy goals for yourself. Whether it’s hitting the gym, booking that spa day, or finally starting meditation – you believe you can do it, and so you do!
Stress-Busting Babe: Believing in your ability to cope means stress will move the hell on. You handle challenges with grace and keep your wellness in check, minimizing stress before it can throw you off your thrown.
Academic Success: A meta-analysis shows that students with high self-efficacy are 37% more likely to succeed in academic pursuits compared to their peers with lower self-efficacy (Journal of Educational Psychology).
Career Achievement: Research indicates that individuals with high self-efficacy earn approximately 28% more than those with low self-efficacy, highlighting its impact on professional performance and earnings (American Psychological Association).
Health Behaviors: Studies have found that people with higher self-efficacy are 40% more likely to follow through with health-promoting activities, such as regular exercise and healthy eating (Health Psychology Review).
Stress Management: A survey reported that 55% of individuals with high self-efficacy experienced lower stress levels in the workplace, showing better resilience in managing job-related pressures (APA Stress in America Survey).
Recovery from Illness: Individuals with high self-efficacy are 50% more likely to adhere to treatment and recover from illnesses faster than those with lower self-efficacy (American Journal of Health Behavior). I know this to be true. In 2021 I fell ill like many of us, to Covid Pneumonia and was hospitalized, placed on short-term disability… and believing in God 1st and then mastering Self-Efficacy moved my recovery pretty swiftly!
Celebrate Small Wins: Got out of bed on time? Yay, you! Finished that project? Slay, queen! Recognizing the small victories builds your confidence.
Educate Yo’self: Knowledge is power, sweetie. The more you know, the more you grow. Take workshops, read books, or even listen to podcasts about self-care and personal growth.
Surround Yourself with Support: You know that friend who always lifts you up? Keep them close. A supportive squad can boost your belief in yourself like nothing else.
