HAVE YOU EVER STRUGGLED WITH CONFIDENCE?

❓Wouldn’t it be great to feel like that about yourself ALL the time.

Here are SIX ways to build your confidence :

1. KNOW YOUR VALUES

To truly learn how to be confident, you must know what your values are: loyalty, appreciation, creativity and so on. When you know your values, you’ll be able to make value-driven choices, which leave no room for doubt. 

2. ACCEPT YOUR EMOTIONS

The first step to mastering your emotions is to actually let yourself feel them and accept yourself as you are in any emotional state. When you accept yourself unconditionally, you’re able to look at your feelings objectively and realize that they are there to teach you something.

3. PRACTICE POSITIVE THINKING

Feeling confident starts from within with positive thinking. If you find yourself asking negative, limiting questions when it’s time to be confident, stop yourself. Think something positive about yourself instead. 

4. CHANGE YOUR PHYSIOLOGY

Even if you don’t feel confident all the time, you can appear confident when needed by adjusting your body language. To put this principle into action, tell yourself you’re capable of achieving your goal. Take a deep breath and throw your shoulders back. You can even adopt a power pose, like putting your hands on your hips. 

5. PRACTICE YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS

It’s no accident that confidence and effective communication are both essential to being a good leader. Communication is a vital soft skill that allows you to build rapport with others, and it’s less about talking than it is about listening. When you feel good about your communication skills, you’re mastering how to gain confidence with every interaction you have.

6. REEVALUATE YOUR BLUEPRINT

Everyone has a blueprint for their life – we want a certain career, a certain family and certain possessions, and we think we must have them on a certain timeline. But what if we could let go of this need for control and be grateful instead?
