Confidence is a very specific trait which can enhance your personality 10 times more. It can help you to give public speeches or get that dream job. Confidence is a belief in oneself. It is the belief that one has the ability to meet life’s challenges. Confidence paves your path for success and gives you the willingness to act accordingly. To be more confident in life requires a realistic sense of one’s capabilities and feeling secure in that knowledge. Yet many people face the difficulty of showing their best self as they lack the ability to do so. But worry not, here are some tips that you can practice to be more confident easily –
1. Stop being your own enemy
Many people have a belief system in their minds that it is not possible for them. Like, I can’t put forward my opinion or I can’t talk to that girl etc. Let me clarify that, if you keep such a mind-set, it’ll be very hard for you to move forward with your life. You have to be your own best friend, your own fan. Once you understand this, things will become far easier for you. So the first thing to do to be more confident in life is to believe in yourself.
2. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations
What I mean by this is to ask that girl out. Apply for the job you always wanted or give that public speech. Start taking risks and put yourself in uncomfortable situations. This will improve your presentation plus communication skills which will help you boost your confidence. Even if we are stuck at home, use your mobile to text new people to be friends with.
3. Practice in front of the mirror
This has completely changed my life. I can’t tell you how powerful this is. Practising in front of the mirror has so many benefits. It helps you to clear up your speech, understand your facial expressions which you can learn from and modify them accordingly and use it to your advantage. If you are learning to be more confident, I highly recommend you all to follow this tip religiously.
4. Get out of your comfort zone
Think about it. You have the same 4 friends, you go to the same place for lunch to hangout, whatever it may be. But let me tell you it’s time to change things up. When you live in the same environment for such a long time, you become easy and relaxed. But when you meet new people or visit new places, your confidence jar starts to fill up as those experiences help you to grow. So when the world gets normal, set this as your priority!
5. Feel good about yourself
I don’t care if you aren’t wearing the latest fashion trend or if you don’t have the latest iPhone Pro Max. Until you can be yourself in your outfit and feel good it, congratulations! You have invited confidence naturally into you. If you don’t feel good about yourself then how will you make others feel good. So don’t ever forget about this. Fake it till you make it!
So here were some of my thoughts on how to be more confident in life. I hope these help you. Let me know which ones you thought were the best. Or maybe, any other tips that you might have for being more confident in life. Remember, sharing is caring!
