How To Increase Confidence - Get Your Own Life Back
Learn how to increase confidence so you can achieve a goal you've set, reduce stress, and improve your own state of happiness.
"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do."
Benjamin Spock, writer of 'Baby and Child Care', 1977
If you want to increase self-confidence you need to know that it has as much to do with attitude aside from ability.
I've known many people who, while they lacked skill in a certain field, absolutely 'oozed' confidence! I'm not talking about bragging about how superior they are at tennis, or singing, or public speaking - when really they're not. I'm talking about feeling okay about not being skilled in these areas and doing them anyway!
A few things are just not essential enough to fret about - but we do just the same and create unnecessary stress for ourselves. Whether or not you fall over trying to ice-skate, make a hash of cooking, be unsuccessful at DIY or just fear that you may not be good at using a PC if you tried it, so you don't - does it really matter?
Of course there are some things that are essential! Being good at your profession is one of them; creating good relationships is another. In these instances you must find some strategies to help you.
What building selfconfidence boils down to is eliminating that voice inside your brain that tells you that you'll fail if you try, that you're no good at this kind of thing, that you'll make a fool of yourself - or whatever the particular message is that rocks your confidence.
Those messages don't essentially tell the truth:
They may have been told to you, previously, by other people who had their own agenda. Sometimes people would say things to put you down so they feel better about themselves!
They may have been your interpretation of what somebody said. Often what we hear just isn't what is meant, so if I say "You're not very good at sporting activities", you may hear that as a criticism or someone saying "You're a failure!"
They may be based on a particular experience you had which prompted you to write that message in your head yourself. Let's say you tried designing a bookcase once but it didn't look very good when you finished it. Therefore, in your mind you believe you're no good at woodwork and will never try again. However you could have acknowledged that this wasn't too bad for your first attempt and that you'd most likely improve with experience.
Your attitude is the thing that will carry you to victory, or defeat you before you even begin.
When you don't believe you can do it - odds are very high that you won't. And if you believe all the unfavorable messages from the past, you might as well build a brick wall between you and your objectives. (And don't forget, you fail 100% of the opportunities you don't even go for!)
However if you believe you can do it, if you can imagine yourself in your mind doing it, chances are extremely strong that you will succeed!
There's a saying: "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at would change." (The half full - half empty glass is an example of this!)
But you don't have to do this on your own, and confidence coaching would allow you to to find alternative ways of looking at things. Then the coach would help you to determine your negative beliefs and knock down those brick walls that stand between you and your goals. Improving your confidence will undoubtedly help you to realize what you want from life.
