One of the things that held me back from pursuing my dreams for many years was fear to be a failure in my parents and to the eyes of other people and the lack of self confidence that I needed to overcome that fear,i just want to share my advice to you that i did to boost it .
Groom yourself. This seems like such an obvious one, but it’s amazing how much of a difference a shower and a shave can make in your feelings of self-confidence and for your self-image. There have been days when I turned my mood around completely with this one little thing.
dress nicely. if you dress nicely, you’ll feel good about yourself. You’ll feel successful and presentable and ready to tackle the world. Now, dressing nicely means something different for everyone it doesn’t necessarily mean wearing an expensive outfit, but could mean casual clothes that are nice looking presentable and the most important is you're comfortable and confident with it.
think positive. Its really important for you to change those negative mind of yours to a positive one yeah it's hard but it's more hard when that attitude of yours continued as times pass by so before it's to early change that behavior already trust me it can help you.
Get to know yourself. When going into battle, the wisest general learns to know his enemy very, very well. You can’t defeat the enemy without knowing him. yes you read it right your enemy is yourself when you’re trying to overcome a negative self-image and replace it with self-confidence, your enemy is yourself. Get to know yourself well. Start listening to your thoughts. Start writing a journal about yourself, and about the thoughts you have about yourself, and analyzing why you have such negative thoughts. And then think about the good things about yourself, the things you can do well, the things you like. Start thinking about your limitations, and whether they’re real limitations or just ones you’ve allowed to be placed there, artificially. Dig deep within yourself, and you’ll come out with even greater self-confidence.
Get prepared. It’s hard to be confident in yourself if you don’t think you’ll do well at something. Beat that feeling by preparing yourself as much as possible. For example is taking an exam if you haven’t studied, you won’t have much confidence in your abilities to do well and that you can pass the the exam. But if you studied your butt off, you’re prepared, and you’ll be much more confident. Now put that one in reality think of life as your exam, and prepare yourself.
Speak slowly. It's Such a simple thing but it can have a big difference on how others will see you try to speaks slowly. It shows confidence. A person who feels that he isn’t worth listening to will speak quickly, because he doesn’t want to keep others waiting on something not worthy of listening to. Even if you don’t feel the confidence of someone who speaks slowly, try to start doing it a few times. It will make you feel more confident. Of course, don’t take it to an extreme, but just don’t sound rushed either.
Smile. Another trite one. But it works. I feel instantly better when I smile, and it helps me to be kinder to others as well. A little tiny thing that can have a chain reaction. Not a bad investment of your time and energy.
