Secrets To Boost Your Self-Confidence
Self confidence is the most essential factor which is needed in every aspect of our lives. There are so many people who struggle throughout their life due to lack of self confidence. Some people even strive hard to find self confidence, but they often fail. To achieve success and goals in life, we all need self confidence, besides our talent, skills and knowledge. We all are confident, believe it or not. The thing is we fail to recognize our inner confidence and hence endure failures.
For example, you are fixing your kitchen water pipe yourself without any help of a plumber. That’s the confidence in you that you can do it without calling for a plumber. But, why you fail or feel nervy when you are on a job interview or a seminar or your work presentation? That’s because we people think that any work when it becomes social is more tough to compete. But, let me tell you there’s no competition at all. All you need to do is give your best what you excel in. Here are some best and effective secrets to boost your self confidence forever.
Power of Smile
Many of us use smiley emoticons when we text our friends or colleagues. But, admit it when we send it, many a times when we don’t even feel like smiling. Isn’t it? Smile is very powerful motivator and it not only makes you confident but also makes you feel better. It’s so strong that it drifts away negative thoughts replacing it with positive ones. So, keep smiling fellas, it’s totally free of cost.
Be Focused
If you want to achieve something, then focus on it. Be determined that you want it anyhow. Think about the reasons why you wanna achieve it? what’s the root cause? how will you feel if you get it? What is the importance of it in your life? Try to avoid negativity, focus more on positive aspects, this will make you determined and strong.
Make proper Eye Contact
Eye contact is essential for boosting confidence. Eye contact along with smile will develop your inner confidence. Some people tend to stare at their shoes or at the table which reinforces their feelings of self-doubt and shyness. Eye contact helps to take the fear away from the speaker by getting the audience closer to him. It helps in getting the attention of the people you are interacting with.
Modify your inner voice
We all have our inner voice. Inner voice which is our mind gets striked by both negative and positive thoughts. People who are less confident or even deprived of confidence often experience negative sounds from their inner voice such as “I am a stupid..”, “I am good for nothing..”, “I’m too fat or thin…I’m a fool” and many more. Changing and modifying your inner voice is too important to infuse confidence in yourself. Your inner voice could be your best supportive friend if you recognize your talent, skill and importance.
Practice makes a man perfect
Remember! Practice, being confident. Talk to yourself in front of the mirror, or in the washroom, or talk to yourself when you alone. Imagine that you are talking to someone being confident and determined. Do it and implement it, until you succeed.
Don’t fear people or consequences
Some people tend to fear of worst consequences or even from people. Why? Ask yourself. Why am I so scared of people and consequences? Remember, your life is yours and you are the manager of your life. No one and nothing can make you feel inferior without your consent. Fight your fear. This will make your fear fade away and will restore your self-confidence.
Believe in yourself
Nobody knows you better than you. If you doing something, then believe yourself, be focused and do it. Don’t hesitate or doubt yourself. “I can do it.” Repeat these four words continuously in your mind.
Don’t care about people’s standards
Remember, you are not here to impress everyone. Be proud of who you are. No matter how fat you are, how thin you are, or how boring you are. Don’t compare yourself with others, as no one could be like you. You are different. If people around you don’t accept you, don’t give them a shit.
Learn to reframe
Suppose, you unknowingly created a mess, you reached late at your office, or spilled drink over someone. Don’t get scared or don’t be nervous. Apologize and try to reframe the situation in a new fresh mood. Start it from the bottom, give it a new shape, rather feeling low and opting to sit at the corner alone.
Be aware of your language
Today, we all communicate with people mostly in English, which has now become the official language of most countries. If you think you are not fluent in English, then don’t avoid it. Speak in it, no matter how tough it is. Try to communicate in most simple words you have. Make it a practice, practice when you are alone, read English newspapers, magazines, watch English movies and documentaries, try to learn it rather giving up. This will automatically escalate your confidence.
