“What lies behind you and what lies before you, are tiny matters compared to what lies within you”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Confidence Doc Blog is about tying together the pieces of our lives, what I call “integrative empowerment” – spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. It is about learning how to get clear about what you authentically value and how to become a conscious co-creator of it, and do this while also increasing inner peace, abundance and happiness along the way. Enjoying the journey is critical in creating a life that is on purpose and fulfilling.

The Confidence Doc Blog features generally three powerful, thought provoking articles a week on: Empowerment, Emotional Healing, Confidence/Self-Esteem, Money and Career, Law of Attraction, Health, Relationships and Practical Spirituality. The thread that weaves these topics all together is “Mindset” – HOW the way that you think – affects these various areas of life. The approach is to blend cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom and empirical life experience, in simple and easy to understand, common everyday language.

About Me

My name is Valencia Ray, a.k.a. The Confidence Doc, and I am the creator and writer here. I am happily married with two teenage children, and we live in the Chicago area. I strive to practice what I teach, as I believe authenticity and integrity are essential ingredients to a life well lived. I enjoy learning, socializing, gardening, art, music (I play piano), dance, cycling, nature walks, travel and funny movies. I usually listen to fiction on my iPod, as there are only so many hours in the day.

Why?

So, why did I give up the role of eye surgeon to now doing what I do? I sold my practice with clear intention to share with the world the life changing processes that I have used to change my own life from one of constant overwhelm, over concern about the opinions of others and general inner turmoil, despite my outward success – to one of authentic happiness, appreciation and inner peace (finally!). I know the way to true empowerment, is only to be had from the inside out, and I want to do my part to follow my purpose by stepping out, and moving in the direction of what I know I am to do at such a time as this. So here I am.
