time. Movie Stars, Celebrities, Beauty queens, Cosmetically Disfigured, old & young.......,
Having a set of simple exercises you can practice during these times is an invaluable aid to getting your confidence level back on track as quickly as possible.
Here are seven things you can do to boost or maintain your confidence.
1. Practice correct posture. This might not sound like it's obviously
related to confidence, but how you sit and how you stand sends a message out to those around you. If that message radiates confidence out from
you, you will get positive vibes back which will bolster your
confidence. So, learn to stand like you have confidence and sit like you have
confidence.
2. Surround yourself with confident and positive people. It may seem
self-evident, but if you are consistently mixing with people of low
self-esteem, this is going to rub off on you. Conversely, if the people
around you are upbeat and assured, this will tend to create a positive
atmosphere that you will benefit from.
3. Remember a time when you felt confident. Confidence is a feeling,
and if you've felt it once, you can feel it again. Remembering back to a time when you felt confident and in control
will enable you to
re-experience that feeling and help to put you in a confident frame of mind.
4. Practice. Whatever it is you want to feel confident about, practice
it as often as you can. When you work on something until you could do
it in your sleep, you can't fail to be confident in your ability to
perform when it matters.
5. Think about all of the things you like about yourself and all of the
things you know you do well. If you have any trouble doing this, think
about the compliments you get from people - what are they telling you -
you do well? It's a good idea to write these things down so you'll have
them to refer to when your confidence is flagging and you need some
inspiration.
6. Don't give yourself a hard time. Don't be your own worst critic, be
your own best friend. After all, if a friend of yours was going through
a tough time, you wouldn't get on their case, would you? No, of course
you wouldn't. Positive self-talk can be one of your best weapons for
confidence-boosting, so make sure you cultivate the habit.
7. Don't be afraid to take risks. If you become a regular risk-taker
you'll find that it's inevitable that you'll grow in confidence as a
result. There really is nothing like forcing yourself out of your comfort zone to increase your confidence. It will also serve to reduce your fear
of the unknown, which can be a great confidence-sapper.
Remember, you do have talents and abilities. Make sure you give
yourself due credit for these on a regular basis and this will prove to be the very best springboard for
building unstoppable confidence.
