We were not born with low self-confidence; we learned it, and we can unlearn it or learn to have self-confidence. The thing is we have to act on learning this consistently. You can have all the talent, knowledge and ability to apply but without self- confidence, its like being short a day in a seven day week. Here are seven ideas you can act on over the next seven days to make everyday a more confident one. 1- Compare yourself with nothing, and no one not even yourself. In particular, get out of comparing yourself with others. Comparing can bring you up short or on the other side, over feed your ego. 2- Make a habit of remembering your successes. Success breeds self-confidence. Make a written list, a picture chart or even a recording of yourself tooting your own horn what you think and speak about most are what show up in your life. 3- Do things you are good at before you tackle what you have never done before. Break the tasks into smaller to dos to have a steady step approach to success. 4- Have your top 3 goals at any point in time written out, and refer to your written goals on a daily basis. The more senses involved in doing what you want to do, the stronger your belief becomes that you can. 5- Monitor your self-talk so that you use positive self-talk regularly. Do not allow self-doubt to set in. 6- Make a written list of 3 or 4 affirmations that affirm your value and worth. Read your written list of positive affirmations daily. 7 - Get physically fit. Many studies show that physical activeness has positive effects on our thinking because of both the endorphins released and how good you can feel just for exercising. Experience success more often and more often success will be your experience. |
