Gaining Self Confidence - Top 7 Tips To Building Confidence

By Dr Jitesh Arora

Do you want to improve your self confidence? If the answer is yes then you are at the right place. In this article I have compiled some tips which will definitely help you to boost your self-confidence.

1. Act Confidently

Project yourself as a confident person and people will take you seriously. You may feel yourself as an imposter sometimes but you will feel confident as time will pass. There is a famous saying- "Fake it until you make it."

2. Everyone Cannot Be Your Best Friend

We should never be afraid of annoying someone or being misunderstood by our friends and family members. In fact you will find too many people who will not like you. Fear of not being approved by everyone will stop you from realizing your true potential. One can never develop self-confidence if he constantly thinks about the opinion of other people.

3. Learn To Cope With Rejection

Don`t ever take rejection personally. There is no benefit of getting over concerned about the things you can`t control in life. Don`t make a self-image on the basis of what other people think about you.

4. Never Talk Negative About Yourself

Build a positive self-image. Condition yourself to talk positively about yourself. Try to make the list of all the good things which God has put in you. Accept all the compliments given by people. Remember all your past accomplishments and consider doing them again.

5. Don`t Compare Yourself to Other People

Do you compare yourself to others? If the answer is yes then stopping doing it now. You don`t have to be the smartest person to be happy. Stop competing with others but try to keep getting better.

6. Building Confidence is a Process

You can not build self-confidence in one day as it is a process. Sometimes you may feel that you are starting from square one. Don`t get discouraged by the hurdles in your life. Remember the hurdles you have already cleared and keep pressing forward in your life.

7. Be Thankful

Sometimes the root of insecurities is feeling of discontentment. Start appreciating the things you have in your life. Get into a state of gratitude as this will make you complete and satisfied.

Tips to Improve Self Confidence By Daniel D Craig

Self-confidence is not a trait that all of us are born with but it is something that can be developed over time. Don't worry if you are lacking in this department you are not doomed forever. There are hundreds of tips and techniques you can use right now to help you. Here are a few ways to improve self confidence

Remind Yourself Of Your Strengths

Make a list of areas of expertise you have, hobbies you have a lot of knowledge of, professions, sports etc which you know that you excel in, concentrate on the achievements that you have. The promotion you got, the book that you wrote, the puppy you saved from drowning in the lake, anything that makes you feel good about yourself. You will automatically feel confident. Write all of these things down and study this list regularly. It seems to be human nature to forget all the good stuff in our lives and only remember the bad. I can hear some of you saying 'I haven't achieved anything', or 'i'm no good at anything' this is your lack of self-confidence talking!! Everybody is good at something or has achieved something good in their life. I don't want to hear 'I'm no good at anything'. No matter how small or insignificant you think it is, write it down.

If you concentrate on a subject that you have limited knowledge of you will feel less confident, especially if you compare yourself to someone else who has more experience in the chosen subject as you will automatically feel inferior to them. End result-your confidence is shaken. This is why we must remind ourselves of the things that we do feel confident in.

What you need to remember is no-one is an expert at everything, you have strengths as does everybody else. Anyone who thinks they know it all, usually knows very little. ( I used to work with someone like this, as probably you have too. Irritating aren't they?) Confident people know this so they don't let other people's knowledge threaten their self-confidence.

Dress To Impress

Another great way to improve your confidence is to dress smart. If you look good you will feel great. As superficial as this sounds it has a profound effect on your self-confidence. Spend some money on some new clothes, think of it as investing in yourself. Taking care of your appearance is a massive confidence booster not to be overlooked or underestimated. When you look smart it changes the way you conduct yourself and interact with other people, you act in a more confident manner.

How To View Failure

How you view failure is another way to dent your confidence. If you take failure to heart at every hurdle you come across then your confidence will hit rock bottom. Failure is a part of life and should be celebrated. As long as you learn from your mistakes then it is no waste of time. All of the richest, most successful people in the world have failed at some time or another, NO-BODY gets it right all the time.You are no different.You WILL make mistakes, all you need to do is dust yourself off and try again.
