Imagine feeling so stuck that when you look around you feel like everyone is many steps ahead. Have you thought that maybe everybody has felt this in their lives?
Confidence comes from the way that you feel about yourself and how skilled you think you are. Hence, confidence is not something that one is born with, it is something that is learned through experiences. Now what happens when we have bad experiences, like being cheated on, bullied, or conflict with an awful manager? Our confidence takes a toll and we might start to believe the negatives that come with these experiences. A person with high confidence would –
- Trust their inner self
- Be able to compromise
- Admits and learns from mistakes
- Accepts their strengths and weakness
- Do not seek for reassurance all the time
- Say sorry when wrong
- Take responsibility for your life
- Take risks and learn new things
To conquer and create your world, try these 10 activities that will boost your confidence
Start simple and small: When thinking of confidence we only imagine someone like Veronica from the Riverdale series – Bold, Strong, Unbothered.
Making small changes might seem insignificant, but it is the key to gaining self-reassurance. It can be as small as not using your phone for the first 30 minutes of the day (I see you), or making your bed as soon as you wake up.
Be Kind to yourself: This seems like an easy one. Who would think bad things about self?
Speaking and/or thinking well of yourself can be challenging when things are going not the way you planned. Follow positive affirmations to bring a ray of shine around you.
Build your strength instead of weakness: If a fish tries to climb a tree it will always fail. Trying something that you might not either like or enjoy will only drain your energy.
Try to talk clearly and look others in the eye: One of the biggest observable sign of low confidence is the pitch and tone of the voice. Try to be more engaged in the conversation, listen, and be more specific when you respond. People are thinking more about them than about you
Let your intuitions guide you: You can know your strengths, powers, resources and plans when you believe in yourself.
Declutter your physical space: Make your surroundings to your liking. Sometimes, a messy room can bring a lot of comfort. But know that confidence lies out of that zone. This is your sign to change things for yourself. Use this free planner to make a list for the things you want to change around you. weekend cleaning
