HOW TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE

Each and every one of us has self-esteem.

 Self-confidence is made up of the thoughts we have about ourselves and plays a role in almost everything we do.

Having healthy self-confidence is really important as it helps you make positive choices in your everyday life, gives you the courage to be your own person, have good relationships and helps you deal with difficult situations.

 "Low self-confidence  is like driving through life with your hand brake on.” -- Maxwell Maltz
Nobody is born with limitless self- confidence. 

If someone seems to have incredible 

self-confidence,it’s because he or she has worked on building it for years. 

Self-confidence is something that you learn to build up because the challenging world of business, and life in general, can deflate it.

1. Visualize yourself as you want to be.

“What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” -- Napoleon Hill

Visualization is the technique of seeing an image of yourself that you are proud of, in your own mind. 

When we struggle with low self-confidence,we have a poor perception of ourselves that is often inaccurate. Practice visualizing a fantastic version of yourself, achieving your goals.

2. Affirm yourself.
"Affirmations are a powerful tool to deliberately install desired beliefs about yourself."-- Nikki Carnevale

We tend to behave in accordance with our own self-image.The trick to making lasting change is to change how you view yourself.

3. Do one thing that scares you every day.
“If you are insecure, guess what? 

 Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself.You are better than you think.

” -- T.Harv Eker

The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. By doing something that scares you every day and gaining confidence from every experience, you will see your self-confidence soar.So get out of your comfort zone and face your fears!

4. Question your inner critic.
“You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” -- Louise L. Hay

Some of the harshest comments that we get come from ourselves, via the "voice of the inner critic." If you struggle with low self-confidence,there is a possibility that your inner critic has become overactive and inaccurate.
