10 ways to boost your confidence
1)Smile XD
It does no harm to smile even if you do feel down its always good to smile (don't force it though) e.g when your randomly walking down the street and someone smiles at you. you instantly think someone's behind you so you turn around but no-ones around, then you realize it's you and you know that good feeling you get when a stranger smiles (it's good isn't it ) well try it your bound to get a few smiles back
2)Groom yourself
This seems like an obvious one, but it’s amazing how much of a difference it makes just by papering yourself e.g lately i have been treating myself to odd face mask and i've painted my nails in colourful stripes. no matter how bad i feel this one always makes me smile.
3)Think positive
I know it sounds so typical but it does work im mean like insted of saying you can't do something, say you can because every single individual person as the ability to do practically anything they want to so if you are saying you can't do something your less likely to be enthusiastic and because of that your less likely to succeed
4)Stand tall.
I know it works because I try it often. When I remind myself to stand tall and straight, I feel better about myself. I imagine that a rope is pulling the top of my head toward the sky, and the rest of my body straightens accordingly. As an aside, people who stand tall and confident are more attractive. That’s a good thing any day, in my book
5)Set a small goal and achieve it.
People often make the mistake of shooting for the moon, and then when they fail, they get discouraged. Instead, shoot for something much more achievable. Set a goal you know you can achieve, and then achieve it. You’ll feel good about that. Now set another small goal and achieve that. The more you achieve small goals, the better you’ll be at it, and the better you’ll feel. Soon you’ll be setting bigger (but still achievable) goals and achieving those too.
6)Focus on solutions.
If you are a complainer, or focus on problems, change your focus now. Focusing on solutions instead of problems is one of the best things you can do for your confidence and your career. “I’m fat and lazy!” So how can you solve that? “But I can’t motivate myself!” So how can you solve that? “But I have no energy!” So what’s the solution?
7)Volunteer.
Related to the “be kind and generous” item above, but more specific. It’s the holiday season right now … can you find the time to volunteer for a good cause, to spread some holiday cheer, to make the lives of others better? It’ll be some of the best time you’ve ever spent, and an amazing side benefit is that you’ll feel better about yourself, instantly.
8)Work on small things.
Trying to take on a huge project or task can be overwhelming and daunting and intimidating for anyone, even the best of us. Instead, learn to break off small chunks and work in bursts. Small little achievements make you feel good, and they add up to big achievements. Learn to work like this all the time, and soon you’ll be a self-confident maniac.
9)Change a small habit.
Not a big one, like quitting smoking. Just a small one, like writing things down. Or waking up 10 minutes earlier. Or drinking a glass of water when you wake up. Something small that you know you can do. Do it for a month. When you’ve accomplished it, you’ll feel like a million bucks.
10)Be the best you can be.
Don't give up because if you give up you feel like a failure afterward and that's never a good thing so try because you know that once you have tried your hardest (even though you may not of succeeded you still would of been happy maybe even proud) e.g. a test, if you have revised and tried your hardest you know that when you do get your results (no matter how bad) you still would be happy with you grade
ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WHO WILL (reframe from answering that question) (even though life may not be great right now you know things can only get better)
