Success and Confidence Go Together

7 Ways To Gain More Self-Confidence
Becoming More Confident

1. Learn to give and take graciously as true confidence cannot exist in a vacuum.
Though it might not feel natural at first, the most confident people are those who are able to find a balance between helping others and asking for help when they need it.

2. Arm yourself with the facts.
When you feel unsure, confidence can melt away.
Always being prepared with the correct information can help you retain your inner strength in an unnerving situation

3. You cannot rethink the past, but you could choose to reinvent yourself. Broadening your horizons with new and exciting experiences will help you to feel accomplished and will add unique modes of expression to your daily life.

4. It is too easy to forget how many difficult obstacles you've overcome when you're faced with the challenges ahead.

Keeping a success journal, where you list accomplishments big and small, as well as future goals, can inspire confidence when you're feeling overwhelmed or lack motivation.

5. Bolstering the confidence of others and making new friends are powerful confidence builders.
Help others to feel good by approaching them, asking questions, being friendly and complimenting them.

6. In situations that create feelings of uncertainty which can quickly undermine self-confidence, imagine that the difficulties involved are ones you've faced before.
Feeling self-assured about a few things can help you perceive yourself as confident about most things.

7. Each morning, give your self-confidence a jump-start with a positive affirmation.
Recall five the things you have accomplished. Look closely at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that you accept, support, and trust yourself, even when the unexpected happens.


enjoy your successes today, they are your seeds for tomorrow
