Techniques For Self Confidence Building

by Inspiration4Living.com

To promote a self-confident image, you have to believe in yourself and your abilities. There are many things you can do to achieve this – from dressing well to walking in a confident manner. Small changes in appearance make a big difference.

Self confidence building is a plan you have to put into practice every day. Although you have no control over many aspects of your life, there are things about your appearance and behavior that you can change.

Your perception of yourself as a loser is reflected in your bad posture – slumped over shoulders, caved-in chest and a hanging head, as well as a slow pace of walking all signify a lack of self confidence. On the other hand, you will look like a winner if your posture is upright with shoulders back, your head held high, and you are walking quickly and self-assuredly.

Image is everything. As Mark Twain said, “Clothes make the man.” You don’t have to spend a fortune to look good; a few good articles of clothing will last for several years if you choose classic styles – and it goes without saying that if you buy them on sale you will certainly build your self confidence in your ability to find a bargain! When you look good, you feel differently about yourself and it will show.

A good way of self confidence building is to make a list of all of the good things about yourself. Everyone has at least one talent that they are born with, but if you aren’t sure what your good points are, then ask a friend or family member for help. It need not be a long list, just two or three items would be enough, and if you can’t think of anything, then list the things you would like to be able to do.

Now list the things that you think are bad about yourself and that you’re not confident about. Just remember that everyone has something that makes them feel insecure. If you take a realistic look at your lists, you will realize that you’re a pretty good person after all. You should be able to gradually cross out items on the ‘bad’ list and get rid of their negative impact on your life.
