Self Confidence 

Yesterday we discussed about Building confidence today let’s discuss self confidence.

Self confidence is important when it comes to having success in your life. It allows you to go after your dreams and goals with excitement. Unfortunately, many people seem to struggle with low self-esteem, which holds them back from achieving their goals. I believe that all of us tend to lose self-confidence at times. Everyone experiences self-doubt and that is OK. It is important to identify the reasons behind the lack of confidence and take steps to address them.

The key is to find ways to build your confidence back up so you can continue pursuing your goals. It is important to recognize when we start losing confidence. We must catch ourselves in the moment and find out what is causing this. It could be fear of failure or even perhaps second-guessing decisions. A big mistake that people make is letting other people’s opinions dictate their self-worth. Whatever the scenario may be, once you find out what the problem is, begin to start taking steps to regain your confidence. It is important to act right away.

One of the best things you can do is recognize your past accomplishments, no matter how small they may be. Make a list of things of which you are proud. Whenever you may be feeling less confident, remember your accomplishments. Let me encourage you also to set realistic goals. Goalsetting is particularly important. One of the quickest ways to lose confidence is by setting unrealistic goals for yourself.

Remember to never strive for perfection. Focus on setting achievable goals, and once you do achieve these goals, your self-confidence will start to increase. Success involves taking risks. If you are afraid of failing, you will never reach your full potential. Instead of playing it safe, start taking risks. Pursue new opportunities and understand that failure is part of the process. To succeed, you must fail. Failure helps you to improve and it teaches us valuable lessons. No matter what, always maintain a positive mental attitude.

Your thoughts play a significant role in shaping self-confidence. Never put yourself down. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. Whenever you feel any negative thoughts, change them into positive ones. If you want to feel more confident, start practicing positive self-talk. Look in the mirror each day and give yourself a pep talk. You are amazing! You are capable! You deserve success and your future looks amazing.

Appearance is important. Plan to dress for success. Wear clothes that make you feel good and avoid anything that makes you feel self-conscious.

Finally, make sure that your environment is a positive one. Be around positive people that are encouraging and are going to lift you up. This will help you to build your confidence. Stay away from the naysayers. Surround yourself with people that are in life where you want to be.

Today is the day that you are going to be a super confident person. Smile and make the decision that today is going to be an awesome day!

Now go out and make it happen!
