We all know a friend who is naturally confident, they are comfortable in their own skin, naturally social and they are generally outgoing in any new situation.
Perhaps you are more socially anxious or feel awkward when meeting new people. You perhaps feel as if your confident friends are fortunately blessed with confidence and you will never be like this, however, this is just not the case.
Confidence is a skill just like spelling, or reading or any other, and this means anyone can develop it. The only reason that these people are confident and you aren't is that they have "learnt" their confidence from an early age - and they have experienced positive responses to their social skills and efforts (perhaps being praised or rewarded for outgoing behavior in some way) so they kept getting more and more confident. You didn't receive such a positive response, but instead were laughed at even, or perhaps rejected when you made efforts to act more outgoing, so instead of growing more confident you entered a negative spiral and became more introverted.
Confidence is all in your mind - i.e. in the way you think and act, and probably even more importantly your self beliefs and beliefs about what you are and are not capable of. If you can change these patterns of thinking within your mind and change your self beliefs then you will also become more confident.
How Can I Reprogram My Self Beliefs?
This is where subliminal messaging comes in!
Subliminals will gain access to your subconscious mind naturally and make changes to these negative self beliefs. Slowly they will replace them with positive beliefs and plant powerful seeds of confidence instead - basically to stop you thinking in the way that you do and to instill the types of personality traits shared by these naturally confident people.
Just imagine the feeling of having the same set of self beliefs as someone who is just naturally confident - feeling excited by social interactions, feeling more extroverted, really wanting to voice your opinion - think how confident this set of self beliefs would make you on the outside!

What Is Self-confidence and 5 ways that you can build it.
I looked up the Collins English dictionary for a definition
of self-confidence. It says ‘Confidence in one’s own powers, judgement, etc’.
The same dictionary defines confidence as a ‘belief in one’s own abilities’. So
self-confidence can be said to be a belief in your powers and abilities.
So now we know what it is, how can you build on it? Here are
five ways that might help.
1. Smile
This might sound silly but you don’t smile if you’re feeling
unhappy or nervous. The simple act of smiling, even if you have to force it at
first, will make you feel better. A smile is something everyone associates with
positive feelings, so by smiling you make yourself feel better, you will appear
confident, other people will notice and they too will feel less nervous and
more confident. Before you know it you will fit right into the situation that
you were nervous or lacking in confidence about.
2. Good Posture
How you carry yourself tells a lot about you. If you slouch
or walk around with your shoulders slumped forward with your head down, you
don’t give off any feelings of confidence to yourself or anyone else. So always
stand up straight, with your head up and make eye contact with everyone you
meet. This will make a positive impression on those you meet which will reflect
back on you making you feel more confident.
3. Be Grateful
When you thing about what you want, your mind comes up with
reasons why you can’t have it e.g. you don’t have the money, you don’t deserve
it, you don’t need it. This leads you to think about lack and brings on more
negative thinking which does nothing for self-confidence. The best thing to do
is to focus on what you have and be grateful for it. It is something you should
do daily and you should go through a list of things you are grateful for. Think
about the friends you have, good things you have done in the past, any skills
you may have, good relationships you have or had. This will bring about
positive thoughts and when you are having predominantly positive thoughts you
feel better, more motivated and definitely more self-confident.
4. Appearance
I don’t know about you but I know when I’m wearing tatty old
clothes (we’ve all got that part of jeans and shirt covered in paint with holes
in that we use for odd jobs around the house) I don’t feel that good. I look at
myself and think ‘you look a mess’ and then I don’t feel that great either.
Nothing beats getting out of the old clothes, having a
shower and a shave and getting into something clean and tidy looking. The
improvement to your confidence is amazing.
5. Say Something
Now strange as it may seem, if you are with a group of
people you have just met, one of the best ways to help increase your confidence
is actually to say something. You’ll quite likely find that other people in the
group are just as nervous about speaking as well. If you make the effort to
speak, even once, within a group you’ll become better at speaking in public and
become more confident.
So there you have 5 pretty easy ways that you can use to
help build up your self-confidence. As with all things it takes a bit of
perseverance, but even if all you do is smile and stand up straight that is a
good start to developing your confidence.
