Improve Self Confidence By Being More Care Free
A lot of people put too much pressure on themselves to succeed, often times leading to anxiety, depression and psychological problems. Others don't put enough pressure on themselves which leads them to avoidance - they are just waiting for the day that it all falls apart.
The first thing you need to do is cultivate a love for the process. Every time you get up in the morning and shower or go about your day take 10 minutes or so out to meditate on how confident you feel when things are going well or what importance your work has in helping other people. It's also worth investing time into doing activities that allow you as a person connect with others and make new friends who will help increase your confidence in general.
Try and put an effort into finding out what you enjoy doing, what makes you laugh and connect with people who have the same interests as you. Take some time to research the differences between positive affirmations and positive self talk - the two are often entangled but still important to understand. Most importantly after all this try some free writing, either out loud or in a journal entry where you write down everything that pops into your head about yourself.
In terms of self improvement it's important to understand that your confidence isn't something that will just happen overnight, it takes dedication and consistent action over time on multiple levels.
Below are a few tips on how to cultivate self confidence:
Get rid of all negative thoughts. Don't dwell on what you don't have in your life or think that you are any less than anyone else. These negative thoughts can often lead to feelings of depression as well as self-doubt and a lack of direction in your life.
Do things that make you happy. Remember that work isn't supposed to be an escape from the problems of life, it's supposed to be a way in which we use our interests and talents to help make this world a better place. Find activities where you know the people involved will be actively encouraging you and helping lift up your spirit - try volunteering, creative pursuits such as music composing, design or architecture are all good examples of how we can improve ourselves through others.
And finally, try to take up a sport. An exercise regimen is not just good for your health but it's also an opportunity to meet new people who will compliment your natural talents, abilities and ambitions in both social and professional life.
Dealing with the feelings of inferiority you have doesn't just come down to a change in lifestyle though - it is important to work on yourself psychologically as well.
Remember that everyone struggles with self confidence at some point. The most successful businessmen and women regularly experience moments where they doubt their own value or ability to succeed - it isn't something that goes away once you are wealthy or powerful which means you should never be ashamed of your inner self doubts and fears.
Trust yourself. If you know why you're doing what you're doing, know that your product or service is great and is worth the money, then there's no reason for anyone to not buy it.
Focus on the good that you bring to the table. One way to look at it is by this example: let's say you are in a job interview where they ask if you have anything bad about yourself or if there's anything worth mentioning that might be an issue. You mention that when someone disagrees with you a little too much you get upset. And they ask "Why is that? Does it really matter that much?"
You know the reason it's a big deal is because you have to work with other people and you don't want them to think you can't handle yourself. But trying to explain this to a hiring manager is never going to be as effective as just going in and showing them how well you can work with other people. It also helps show them how confident you are in your abilities and gives an example of what hard workers you are.
The key point here is that it's important for us as individuals to keep track of our personal progression but also not become fixated on it.
So many people get caught up in the idea of how they've always been a nobody and how they've always been somebody while forgetting that any human being is capable of changing who they are and becoming something grander than themselves.
That being said, some people take a more realistic approach to dealing with their fears of vulnerability and lack of confidence as well as their fears of success and failure; by having the right attitude.
This includes thinking positively about yourself, doing things in a way that will help you grow as a person and adapting your approach to situations so you realize that you can conquer each one individually.
Finally, it's also worth pointing out that in a lot of ways if you have the right mental attitude on going into any situation. In fact, even if the judging people are right and you don't do well in the situation it's not uncommon to come out of it with a positive attitude and find something that surprises and pleases you.
It's important to have confidence as an individual and if we focus instead on what we can't do better than anyone else rather than what we are so capable of achieving then we become less motivated towards real success.
So the next time you are in a job interview, perform a task that you don't think you can do well, write down all your fears and doubts and try to focus on what you are the best at to help boost your self-confidence.
