HOW TO BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE?

Confidence is the trust in one’s capabilities and acceptance of flaws. It is the key to a happy and successful life. When you are deprived of self-confidence, the world seems upside down. You start to doubt every effort that you put in. Tips To Boost Your Confidence is essential to overcome the doubts.

You have constant chatter in your mind that “I am not good enough”,  “Will I be able to do this? “, “I can’t do this task”, “If I will fail, then what will people say?” so on and so forth. You go through hundreds and thousands of negative thoughts which decrease your confidence even more. 

On the other hand, if you are confident about yourself, about your capabilities then you would be motivated to do the task at hand, there would be an inner sense of satisfaction and happiness.

So you see how confidence builds up your life. No one is born confident, we all have struggled with or are struggling with the lack of self-confidence. It is an acquired skill, the more you practice it the better you become.

Dalai Lama quotes that “With the realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world”

Tips To Boost Your Confidence

But the most important question is how to acquire this skill? Don’t you worry! The following tips to boost your confidence will help you in rebuilding your lost confidence.

Stop comparing yourself with others

In this tech-savvy world people often tend to compare themselves with others, they compare other’s success with their failures forgetting the fact that those successful people have had their share of failures too.

And their failures are covered up by their success. Moreover, people show their happy and happening life and not the dark sides of it. So most people fall into the trap of comparing themselves with other’s lives and get demotivated and in the process, lose their confidence.

So stop comparing yourself with anyone. Your biggest competitor is you! Your best is yet to come! You are a Champ!

Know your strengths and admire them

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses so if you keep criticizing your weaknesses, you will forget about your strengths eventually and lose your confidence. Remember the grass is greener where you water it, so introspect and acknowledge your strengths and water them. Also, work upon your weaknesses but do not let it overshadow your strengths.

When you admire your strengths you admire yourself !

Love yourself, be your own cheerleader

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval” –Mark Twain

There is no one in the world who is liked by everyone, even the people you admire are criticized by many others. Real confidence lies in the way you feel about yourself when you are with yourself rather than asking for other’s approval.

Make your own definition of what is important to you, what suits better for your happiness and success. As the saying goes, ”If you can’t love yourself, how can you love someone else”. So love yourself first and everything else will follow.

Set goals, track your accomplishments and reward yourself

Set small goals at first and when you accomplish them you will feel better about yourself, as a result, you will realize a boost in your confidence. And then with the gained confidence, you will be motivated to work on the bigger tasks. 

 Write your goals on paper and track them, as the research says the people who write their goals down are more likely to accomplish them than those who set them in their minds. 

Never forget to reward yourself even for the smallest achievements.

Learn to accept compliments

Accepting a compliment is an art. When you accept it wholeheartedly you tend to value yourself more, you feel good and hence gain confidence in yourself. When you do not acknowledge it shows that you are ignorant about your own capabilities and your lack of confidence. 

Compliments act like a pocket full of sunshine on dark days when you accept them positively. Also, learn to praise others as it is an effortless way to cheer up people’s mood which reflects your own self-confidence. 

Be positive always

Feeding your mind with positive thoughts and information about yourself helps you develop a positive personality, hence you become more influential and gain confidence. Keep reminding yourself about your traits you will see a change in your personality.

See the good in every situation, practice mindfulness, and be grateful for what you have.

Last but not least!

Exercise and have a healthy diet

As healthy and positive thoughts keep your mind calm similarly healthy food energizes your body and keeps it youthful.

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, so eat healthily, think healthy, and live healthily.
