Learn How To Acquire Self Confidence – A FREE COURSE

What is self confidence ?

Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well, and have a positive view of yourself. You set realistic expectations and goals, communicate assertively, and can handle criticism.

On the other hand, low self-confidence might make you feel full of self-doubt, be passive or submissive, or have difficulty trusting others. You may feel inferior, unloved, or be sensitive to criticism.

What is a confident person?

Not everyone is born with an inbuilt sense of self-confidence. Sometimes it can be hard to develop confidence, either because personal experiences have caused you to lose confidence or because you suffer from low self-esteem.

A confident person:

• does what they believe is right, even if it’s unpopular
• is willing to take risks
• admits their mistakes and learns from them
• is able to accept a compliment
• is optimistic.

How To Increase Your Self-Confidence

· Recognize and emphasize your strengths. Reward and praise yourself for your efforts and progress.

· When you stumble on an obstacle, treat yourself with kindness and compassion. Don’t dwell on failure.

· Set realistic and achievable goals. Do not expect perfection; it is impossible to be perfect in every aspect of life.

· Slow down when you are feeling intense emotions and think logically about the situation.

· Challenge making assumptions about yourself, people and situations.

· Recognize that past negative life experiences do not dictate your future.

· Express your feelings, beliefs and needs directly and respectfully

· Learn to say no to unreasonable requests.
