Learn how to look confident

Some people appear naturally confident but guess what? They have learnt how to be that way and so can you! Just because someone seems confident on the outside does not mean they feel that way on the inside. Some people have learnt how to look confident and that will certainly help you to feel better and encourage you as others respond to you in a more positive way. The secret to taking on challenges you fear is to learn how to look more confident and then you will feel more relaxed. If you lack self-esteem or self-confidence you must look above the reasons, you may be overly criticizing yourself or telling yourself negative things like “I am bound to fail” or “I am not good enough” or even “I don’t deserve that man” 

Other’s opinions and believes

Maybe you believe other’s comments or opinions about your inability to succeed or your faults as they see them. What’s stopping you from proving them wrong or challenging their view instead of accepting it? Defend yourself. Your self esteem depends on it! If you have a poor opinion of yourself, why should others respect you? Start with having regards for yourself first, value, self-respect and this will help you build your self worth. 12 great ways to build your Self-Confidence

How you can become more confident and successful?

• Develop a positive attitude about life and things around you
• Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts – replace those limiting beliefs you formed as a result of what you were told in your childhood.
• Change the way you talk to yourself – be more compassionate and understanding to yourself. Don’t make other people’s opinions of yourself be your truths
• Identify with a source – God, universe – source of your happiness, peace, joy and even confidence, have faith in your source
• Pay attention to your accomplishments – if you experienced failure, learn from it and work out what you did right and how can succeed now, forgive yourself for the decisions you made then that contributed to failure.
• Act as if you are self-assured – Most of the confident people you see have had to affirm themselves to be the people whom you see now
• Prepare comprehensively for any duties that you may have so that you can be sure you are ready
• Your skills are relevant regardless of where you are in life, if you feel you can add more or work on them do so
• Acquire some relaxation skills – deep breaths, meditation, journal, walk, read, exercises and even watching movies
• Set realistic achievable goals for yourself – mentioned earlier don’t be too hard on yourself
• Recompense yourself when you flourish
