Being confident seems like a skill that only certain people have. Whether you think they are confident because they were born that way or because of the way they look or their success. But none of that is true.
Everyone has the same ability to be confident, it just depends on how you think about yourself. Here are some simple ways to improve your own self-confidence and boost your self-esteem.
IDENTIFY YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
If you want to be a more confident person, you have to start by identifying and resolving your limiting beliefs. A limiting belief is something you have convinced yourself is true, about something you lack.
When it comes to relationships, you might tell yourself you aren’t lovable or that people won’t accept certain traits you have.
With success and money, you might have limiting beliefs about how much success you can achieve or how much money you can realistically earn.
These might feel like you are just being practical, but they are actually keeping you from being as confident as you could be.
USE AFFIRMATIONS TO HELP WITH CONFIDENCE
Affirmations are a great way to help you with your confidence and self-esteem. They put positive notions into your head about who you are and everything that is amazing about you.
There are many affirmations specifically to help boost your confidence and self-esteem, helping you see how strong, powerful, smart, and beautiful you truly are. Sometimes you need this little boost of confidence.
Scroll down past the prompts for this month’s affirmations.
BE PROUD OF YOUR PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
When you accomplish something, do you often celebrate and then forget about it? If so, this is where you’re going wrong!
Everything you have done and every goal you have achieved should be celebrated not just in the moment, but in the future as well.
Try to make a habit of celebrating your wins, including your past accomplishments. Write down a list of everything you are proud of, from adolescence until now. Remind yourself of all that you have already accomplished, and that alone will give you a nice boost of confidence.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY AND MIND
Taking good care of yourself is a great way to shift your mindset to where you understand that your confidence comes from you. You are amazing and you deserve to be treated well!
Empowerment and compassion start with what you do for yourself and will help you to radiate confidence.
