SELF CONFIDENCE - II

You have to be a confident person, to achieve whatever you want. Let us see how you can boost your self confidence.

1. Recognize your personal worth:

You may ask how do I know my personal worth . Let the past be the past. From today onwards, maintain a diary and record all your successes, whether it is academic or non-academic. Once you start recording all your successes, you will be feeling proud about you. This will make you feel a person with high esteem. This will bring out some changes in you, in your actions, thoughts, etc. Read often the success diary. In total, this will give you strength.

2 Identify your strengths

Everybody has some special qualities. You and I too have some special qualities. Sit in a calm place and analyse about yourself. What are the strengths you possess ? What are the qualities others appreciate ? What are the special factors about yourself, you feel proud of. List out all these. Initially you may find it difficult to write even two or three. When you think it over, you can write easily ten to fifteen qualities. After writing, go through it again and again. Feel proud.

3. Do not over think

People generally fear with a lot of illusions. Our imagination of ‘how things will happen’ will create some fear psycho and will reduce our confidence level. When you are doing things in the right way, do not fear for anything. We can face it, when things actually happen. What is the fun in creating self pressures with imaginations.

4. Do not compare with others

In this world, everybody is unique. You have some special characteristics. Each individual is unique in his/her character. Hence, you are different from others. Do not compare yourself with others. Having a role model is something different.

5. Be optimistic

Be a positive person always. All that happens is for our good. Look for a positive factor, when something unexpected happens. Everyday morning when you get up, you have two choices, either to be happy or to be sad. If you choose to be happy, tell yourself, ‘Today is going to be the happiest day’. Whatever happens you will feel positive.

6. Set a Happiness mindset

Learn to forgive others. This will free your mind from grudges. Grudges are negative feelings. If you carry these in your system, it will produce negative energy and spoil your positive mood. Be a happy person always. Set a happiness mindset always.

7. Use auto suggestion method

Auto suggestion is nothing but self-talk. By talking to yourself, you can tune your subconscious mind. Stand before a mirror. See yourself (see through your eyes) and tell the suggestions. The following are the sample suggestions:

I am a confident person
I feel proud of myself
I feel good about myself
I have powerful inner strengths
I have a lot of potential to achieve
I am a winner

8. Concentrate on the present, not on the past.

We have no control over whatever happened in the past. We can’t go back and change the incidents. Hence, concentrate on whatever you are doing now. Involve hundred percent, whatever you are doing now.

9. Discover the areas, wherever you lack control

Do a self appraisal. Find out what are the areas you require more attention. What are the areas you want to improve.

10. Accept credits

When somebody compliments you, accept it. You can accept it only when you feel you deserve it. When you deserve it, why don’t you accept it ?

11. Never stop trying

Perseverance pays. You may fail in the first round. It is not actually the failure. It is only the feedback for the efforts you have put forth. Hence, analyse the working, change the strategy, if needed, but don’t give up. Remember, WINNERS NEVER QUIT FROM TRYING. Quitters never win.

12. Won’t ever put yourself down

Whatever happens, don’t feel bad. Continue your journey. Feelings should not upset your success path.

REMEMBER ! YOU ARE GOING TO BE A WINNER IN YOUR LIFE !!
