Three Steps to Building Self Confidence
Building self confidence is actually easier than most gurus might make it out to be. It does take an open mind and a willingness to try new and creative things. Some people call it “outside the box” thinking, but I say “why build a box in the first place?” I am going to give you three simple and fundamental tools to building your self confidence.
1. Know thyself. First, if there is a problem with your attitude or behavior, you must be aware of its source. Be aware of the problem and address it. Many people like to pray or meditate, but it doesn’t take a deep sense of spirituality to understand your own perceptions and desires. I mean, you live with yourself constantly. No one knows you better than you. Confusion only arises when you behave in ways that are contrary to your beliefs and perceptions.
2. If you find yourself lacking confidence, address and change it. Confidence arises from a perception of oneself. Fortunately, perception is one of the easiest things to change. Look at your desk. Now tilt your head. Look at it from all angles. From each angle, you’ll understand a new way to perceive the desk. That is exactly what you need to do with yourself. Behave in new ways, and you’ll find new approaches and angles. With new behaviors come new understandings.
3. It is just as easy to behave one way as it is another. It’s all about choice. You are constantly making choices in your life. If you have taught yourself how to have low self confidence, then start making changes to teach yourself how to have intense self confidence. Find someone who is truly confident and successful and start examining their behaviors. Smile the way they do. Notice their voice inflection. See how they look people directly in the eye as they talk.
Once you take these three simple steps into account, you’ll find your own ways to build your confidence as well. Explore new aspects of yourself. Find new and fun hobbies to occupy your time. Interact with as many people as you can, and learn from them. Rejection is only feedback. Failure is not a judgment on you.
