An important part of your transition is keeping motivated. At first the quick basic changes are obvious but most others take time. The action you take for improvement is more than just doing it. Whether it is improving your non verbal communication, upgrading your wardrobe, or a more drastic attitude development, it goes way beyond that moment.

What you do at that moment , while is a major accomplishment at that time is still just valuable for that moment. That is why it is difficult for you even to be comfortable and confident. Since it is a change, the difference is external and more so internal. It is vital that you adjust to the new you, and as time goes on, and you continue to make progress, it becomes more familiar and comfortable. The habit now is a natural part of your being as it is now a regular action. The opposite is when you where clothes that make you feel awkward, hesitate when you need to be strong, and worse doubt your motives because you still don’t believe in yourself. If you aren’t confident in yourself, how will anyone else see what you are capable of. Like every martial artist knows, the more you practice the better you get. The better you get the harder you practice because your improvement carries beyond your actions and now become part of you.
