Boost Your Confidence - Stand Tall & Believe In Yourself

If you feel hesitant about trying new things, this may be because you don't value yourself highly enough to believe you can succeed. Lack of confidence can hold you back from achieving your dreams, and is a way of self-sabotaging your happiness. Working on your self-confidence helps you to feel free to be who you are without judging yourself. Stand tall and believe in yourself.

Put yourself first

Often you know exactly what you need to do in order to feel better. Yet somehow you put it off, placing your needs last on your to-do list. Remind yourself that your are important as everyone else and prioritise feeling good.

Block false beliefs

If you notice yourself voicing a negative belief such as "I can never get anything right" or "I'm such a loser," stop! Remind yourself that you don't have to believe negative thoughts.

Be self-kind

Have you noticed how you speak to yourself internally? Do you berate yourself when you make a mistake or blame yourself for everything that goes wrong? Speak as kindly to yourself as you would to others.

Know yourself

Sometimes a lack of confidence can stem from a lack of self-knowledge. Being present in life helps to build your awareness, so you get to know yourself better. Be curious about what makes you tick.

Be brave

When you are reluctant to do something that you know is good for you, take a leap and do it anyway. Facing your fears help you to develop greater confidence. If you avoid what you are afraid of, you won't ever find out what is possible.

Build resilience

If you are sensitive to people's comments and absorb other's emotions, you may need to flex your resilience muscle. Allow comments or criticism to fly past you, rather than letting them affect what you do.
