Self-confidence
is a trait that can be built. In fact, a few very simple tactics can help you
quickly build your self-confidence. And as you become more confident, you will
have experiences that will build your confidence even more!
Here are ten tips for building self-confidence:
Dress your best!
Knowing
you look good is a key to feeling good about yourself. When you know you look
good, you project confidence. Take the time to choose clothes that fit well and
which you feel good in. A good haircut that is easy for you to style is also
key. If you enjoy make-up, jewelry, or other types of adornment, find pieces
you love that make you feel like a million.
Stand
up straight!
Good
posture is a quick, free way to build your confidence. Stand up straight and
keep your shoulders back. Don’t be afraid to take up space. A bonus of good
posture is that you breathe more deeply and get more oxygen, which may mean you
have more focus!
Practice
gratitude!
When
you take the time each day to practice gratitude, you see how many blessings
you have in your life. This builds your confidence and appreciation for your
life.
Compliment others!
Confident
people take the time to compliment others. When you compliment others, you
project that you have concern and appreciation for others.
Accept
compliments!
When
someone compliments you, accept it. Too often we say “Yes, but…” instead of
just saying “Thank you.”
Spend
time with people who build you up.
This helps keeping you focused on the
positive.
