BUILDING SELF CONFIDENCE

Self Confidence

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but everyone can start today and make a new ending.”- Maria Robinson

“From the quietly confident doctor whose advice we rely on, to the charismatic confidence of an inspiring speaker, self-confident people have qualities that everyone admires.”

Nothing is more important than your thoughts towards yourself. Everything relies on how you think and feel about yourself.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a vicious circle: people who lack self-confidence can find it difficult to become successful. 

But it is true that self-confidence really can be built-up. Confident people inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

But the question remains the same: How can we build self-confidence? It doesn’t have to be a miracle for one to have confidence in himself, rather it is the result of his self-belief and faith. There are few key points that when kept under consideration is sure to boost a person on his way to success.

Few points are:

Identify your negative thoughts: Be sure that your negative thoughts don’t bring you apart from the goals that you have set in life. Inner sounds like “I can’t ”, “I will surely fail”, are your voices that dominate you.

Turn your weakness into strength:  Turn your negative thoughts to positive by just flipping the words they spell. “I can’t ”, “I will surely fail” will then turn to “I can” and “ I will surely succeed”. 

Maintain positive support network: Get closer to anyone who holds the capability of uplifting your perspective. Never leave people who grab your hands and pull you out of depression.

Set small goals and achieve them : It is all lot better to divide your goals in smaller portions and achieve them in portions.  Stay on top of that positive thinking, keep celebrating and enjoying success, and keep those mental images strong. 

As long as you keep on stretching yourself enough, but not too much, you'll find your self-confidence building apace. What's more, you'll have earned your self-confidence – because you’ll have put in the hard graft necessary to be successful!
