Having a high level of confidence can do wonders in every aspect of your life from your physical appearance to your sleeping patterns. It is proven that people with a lot of confidence are more successful, healthy, and enjoy a more fulfilling life.

Here are some simple and easy ways to get on the path of building your self confidence :

1) STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS

One of the most effective self-confidence building techniques that will immediately improve your confidence is to stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone, thinks, feels, learns and sees things differently.  The way you do things will be endless and different to everybody else. When you compare yourself to other people you tend to compare yourself to the one person who you believe has it best in life. This is definitely not a good way to assess you.

2)TALK TO YOURSELF POSITIVELY

Positive self-talk is a surefire way to boost your confidence levels quickly. Treat yourself as you would to your best friend. Be supportive, kind and understanding. Don’t be hard on yourself when you make a mistake. To feel more self-confident, you can use positive affirmation – positive statements that are meant to reprogram your mind to seeing yourself in a better light.

3)CARE FOR YOURSELF

Self-confidence depends on a combination of good physical health, emotional health and social health. It is hard to feel good about yourself if you hate your physique or constantly have low energy. Make time to cultivate great exercise, eating and sleep habits. In addition, dress the way you want to feel. You have heard the saying that “clothes make the man.” Build your self-confidence by making the effort to look after your own needs.

4)FAKE IT,TILL YOU MAKE IT

When people act in a self-confident way towards others, they actually feel more self-confident themselves. This is one of the most amazing rules in our lives. If you want to have something, act as if you already have it. Use the characteristics of confident people and apply them to your immediate situation. Look for a role model in the moment, someone you look at as a confident and charismatic person.

5)SPEAK OUT LOUD

The way you talk and the way you project your voice is directly linked to your confidence. Shy people tend to keep their voice low. They don’t want to draw attention, which they would if they spoke up. Next time in a group project your voice, be loud. You will see what kind of impact it has on your confidence.
