Shortcuts On How To Be Confident In Yourself- The Easy Way

Apply These 5 Secret Techniques To Improve Your Self Confidence

As part of the wellness process, every person looking to live life wholly must have self confidence.
Self confidence comes from a point of strengthened self esteem.
People with strong self esteem tend to be very confident in themselves. Vice versa is also true.

Low self esteem is experienced in people who have/had been forced to conform to a certain way of life, maybe by the society or by people close to them. If they are not able to conform, they get a low self esteem which affects their self confidence in the future.

People with low self esteem have very weird coping mechanisms which they use to try and fit in. It's therefore good to try and understand those people around you and why they behave the way they do.

Proven Ways On How You Can Improve Your Self Confidence

Accept yourself
This is your starting point. This means accepting who you are; your appearances, your physique, your weaknesses, your background and all the baggage in your life. It's is very vital as it will help you lift yourself up and be able to focus on those areas that you need to improve on.

Forgive your past

Sometimes the past acts like that bad friend... it comes haunting and intimidating us. It's very important to focus on your past and completely forgive whatever happened -forgive yourself and others so that you can move on gracefully.

If you had an ugly past and you skip this step, when your past comes knocking, it will leave you bruised and defeated; stripping you off all your confidence and your self esteem.

Choose to do those things that expose your strengths
Do not focus on areas that you are weak at, instead strive to strengthen yourself more by utilizing what you are good at. In the process, people will recognize your good efforts and as a result you will have very high self confidence because other people have already appreciated your work.
This does not have to be something big... we are all gifted in something and you can use that to help you build your confidence. e.g., it could be your voice, your drawing skills, your kindness, your generosity, your hospitality etc.

Change your wardrobe
This may look trivial but it's quite something.
Choose to dress in a way that your body looks appreciated. I do not mean you dress to provoke. I imply you dress in a way that, you yourself knows deep down that you are killing! This helps you walk head high and feel ready to conquer the world.
You may land yourself a very nice suitor while in such a high confidence moment or even a great business deal.

Dump friends who manipulate and don't support you
If you have this kind of friends who only talk about themselves, they want you to fit into their schedule and not the other way round, they are not supportive of your every little idea, they are always negative in everything...
Kindly boot them immediately.

Having a positive mindset is the thing here, and you cannot keep negative minded friends if you are trying to improve yourself.
Hang around people who appreciate you in even very small ways, also learn to appreciate other people often.

Have goals in life
If you want to gain self confidence and feel very confident, then you MUST GET A LIFE!
Having something to do  makes your life interesting and makes you feel very worth while.

Feeling useful and worthwhile is very important if you are to have any self confident.
While in your job, strive to be the best, when you get that very positive appraisal, your self confidence will be over the roof.
You can do this by just being the best version of yourself not just doing things for the hell of it.

Be your brothers/sisters keeper

When you give your back to someone, you will always get a back also. It's always a win-win situation. Having a shoulder or a back for that matter, gives you the assurance that yes, people value you as a person and appreciate your role in their lives.

It helps you appreciate yourself at a much deeper level and in turn build a very strong self esteem and self confidence.
Practice honesty, modesty and truthfulness to your friends and in turn you will get the same or even more.
"For the hand that gives..."

I hope this few tips will help you work on yourself and build an unshakable strong self esteem and be very confident in yourself in the process.

Cheers!
