TEN TIPS TO HELP YOU BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE

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.
