Top 7: Powerful Ways to Build Your Self ConfidenceBy Angelica Malin

If you are reading this, it is because you want to know how to build self-confidence. There are in fact a myriad of ways to build up your confidence. Did you know that most self-confident individuals are respected and inspire confidence in others? Well, they bravely face their fears and are risk takers. They know that no matter what hindrances come their way, they have the capability to get past them.

You will surely come across many techniques and tips on the Internet all talking about boosting your self-confidence. Today, however, I want to focus on just a few very powerful ways to help build your self-confidence:

 

Try to Recondition the Way you Perceive and Think about Yourself

Be kind to yourself and keep in mind that nobody has it all. Surprisingly, even the most confident people you know have their insecurities and worries. But they have learnt to de-emphasize these ugly spots. Do the same thing with your faults. Find out those areas in which you are lacking then put your finest foot ahead- work on your strengths and your confidence will shoot up.

 

One Step at a Time

Instead of trying to do everything at once, start with one single step. Build your self-confidence piece by piece, and remember that everything is cumulative.

What is the first step? Well, a good place to start would be to make a list of all your insecurities.  Whether you are afraid of public speaking or you feel insecure while speaking with pretty women, jot it all down.

Now that you are aware of your insecurities, it is time to take the first step. Your first step is to pick just one insecurity (preferably the biggest one) and eliminate it.

 

Steer Clear of Negativity and Bring on Positivity

Evaluate your inner circle, including your family and friends. I agree this is tough, but it’s time to seriously consider avoiding people who shred your confidence. Even a small break from such individuals can make a big difference and help you make strides towards more self-confidence.

Remain positive, even if you are not feeling it quite yet. Put some enthusiasm into your interactions with others and hit the ground running, excited to begin your next project. Shift your focus from problems in your life to making positive changes.

 

Be Assertive and Avoid Arrogance

Being assertive also means that you can change your mind if you believe it is the right thing to do, and not because you are under pressure from somebody else.  Confidence, assertiveness, and self-esteem are all very closely related – usually, people become naturally more and more assertive as they build their confidence.

Did you know that arrogance can be very detrimental to interpersonal relationships? As your confidence builds up and you become successful in your endeavors, avoid acting or feeling superior to others. Remember- nobody is born perfect, there is always more that you can learn. Always celebrate your success and strengths and recognize your weaknesses and failures.

Lastly, credit other people’s work using praise and compliments sincerely. Be polite and courteous and show an interest in what others are doing.

 

Set Realistic Goals

Set realistic goals and aim to achieve them. By proving to yourself that you can get stuff done, you will prove to yourself what you are capable of achieving almost anything. They do not have to be big goals; they can even be things like planning a night out with friends or baking a cake. Just little things that can be ticked off as a list and help you gain self-confidence in your ability to get things done.

 

Never Give Up

I know improving your confidence is not an easy task. I also know how badly you want it. Don’t disappoint yourself- never give up until you reach your goal and become a self-confident person. To make your journey easier, here are a few things that you can do to stay on track:

Reward yourself once you have achieved a small goal,

Motivate yourself by watching inspiring movies and listening to positive music,

Accept help from other people.

Remember: never give up- you will make it!

 

Beat Social Anxiety

Anxiety has been branded the ailment of the 21st century. More than being a constant cause of discomfort and pain, it stands between many people and a high quality life. Anxiety can manifest itself as hopelessness, selflessness, low self-esteem, fatigue, worry, irritability or fear. If you’re suffering from these emotions you might find it very difficult to do even basic everyday tasks.

CBD Oil has been termed the ‘miracle oil’ for anxiety by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies globally.

As the use of CBD continues to grow in popularity and public approval, we’re seeing a change in the use of medical cannabis in the public and legal eye. It’s time we all learn more about the merits presented by CBD oil to help with ailments like anxiety and depression.

People consume CBD for various reasons. One of the most compelling reasons is perhaps relaxation. Vaping is considered the most convenient way of taking CBD. Also, CBD vape oil is often enhanced with a variety of flavors, which taste and smell very well. When vaping CBD, the puffs of smoke that fill your lungs will leave you feeling calmness in your mind.

Conclusion

What it all comes down to is basically believing in yourself, being more open to countless possibilities presented every day by the outside world and forgetting what everyone else is saying especially if the things they are saying are negative. Building confidence is not an exact science, but if you do things right, you will have a better chance of solving life’s greatest personal problems in no time.
