How to Boost Your Confidence
11.___Confidence is built on achievement. If you achieve small and big goals, you`re going to feel much better about yourself. It begins with your day-to-day goals. What do you need to do today to help meet your goal? If you reach the goals you set for every day, chances are you will begin meeting weekly and monthly goals, which brings you in range of your annual goals. Keep in mind that big changes do not happen overnight.
12.___Most confident people live by a value system and make their decisions based on that value system, even when it`s hard and not necessarily in their best interest, but in the interest of the greater good. Your actions and your decisions define your character. Even when it`s really hard and it`s the last thing you want to do and it means a short-term loss on your part, in the long run you`re going to like more and be prouder of who you are.
13.___Failing isn`t your enemy, it`s fearing failure that truly harms you. If you set big goals and have big dreams, you`re going to feel like you can`t do it. In those moments, you have to look inside yourself, and gather every bit of courage you have and just keep going. Every single wildly successful person has been taking risks anyway, because what they`re trying to achieve is more important and urgent than their fear they will fail.
14.___When your goal, project, etc. is in its early stages, and someone says that your goal is stupid, or that you cannot do it, it`s tempting to believe them because they`re joining the chorus of doubts inside your head. Now you have to tell those people, especially the voices in your head, that they`re wrong. You have it in you, so tell them you believe in your goal, you believe in yourself, so you`re going to succeed. Don`t let anyone ever make you feel like you don`t deserve what you want.
15.___People respect people when they say they`re going to do something and they do it. More importantly, you will respect yourself if you say you`re going to do something and you do it, and belief in yourself will come easier, because you know you are not afraid of the work. Action gives your words meaning, and it will help you pave a path to reaching your goals, strengthening your relationship and feeling proud of who you are.
16___Confidence depends on our self-esteem. Often, when people look at themselves, they see not what others see but their own ‘self-image’. When you suffer from low self-esteem, the self-image they you have can be overly negative and unrealistic. However, there are many things you can do to raise your self-esteem, such as spending time with people who like you and care about you. Likewise, doing as many things as possible that you enjoy or are good at will also be beneficial.
A Don`t be afraid to lose
B Do the right thing
C Surround yourself by a suitable company
D Don`t go back on your word
E Fight for your dreams
F Balance your goals against your skills
G Don`t set impossible goals
H Get things done gradually
