BUILDING YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE PT2

Source

The other day I was talking about building Confidence. You will agree with me that Confidence is one of the most important attitudes we need to be successful in our endeavours. So here are few ways we can build our self confidence

Remember Your Success

The mind has a way of messing with us. Most times it feeds us with negative thoughts about ourselves and reminds us of our failures.. When that happens, recount your successes and remind yourself that you can be successful in anything you put your mind to.

Train your mind.

Don't form the habit of letting negative thoughts dwell in your mind. This is because those thoughts always have a way of being real. Train your mind over and over again with positive thoughts. If negative thoughts can become real, why spend so much time on them. Create something positive in your mind every second..

Identify your skills

Identify your skills, abilities and gifts and get familiar with them. You can also write them down, that way it will be difficult to forget. So any time you don't feel confident, they will serve as a reminder.

Don't stop learning.

As humans, we are so talented that we can do anything we put our minds on. So discover the areas or skills that your are not confident in, learn and practice them, You'll get confident as you get better. Remember that practice makes perfect.

Embrace your failures.

There is no mistakes in life, there's only lessons..

Focusing on the regrets you feel as a result of your failures and mistakes takes away your Confidence. It's not bad to be wrong or to fail at something, instead of focusing on the failures, identify what that situation taught you and turn those lessons into your strengths.

Leave your comfort zone.

Try something you've never tried before. Fear takes away our confidence. Find out what you are so afraid of trying that makes you unconfident and take little steps every day towards that direction. You need to take those little steps especially if it is needed in your career.

Work on your Posture

Appearance is everything, that's what people will notice first about you. Work on your posture, stand straighter, carry an air of confidence when you talk and walk. Smile always.

Always Look good.

People are more confident when they look their best. Imagine how confident you felt when you wear your favorite clothes. By the way, remember that we are addressed by how we dress.

Get a mentor/ read books

Follow someone that inspires you.. Read books that will help you build your confidence.

I hope this is helpful?.

Thanks for reading..
