10 Useful Ways To Boost Your Confidence - Confidence is Freedom


Every one of us can relate to not feeling good enough or trying to avoid certain situations due to our fear or lack of confidence. Insecurities can cause us to miss out on amazing opportunities and experiences in life. Avoidance may be the easy way out, and you may feel amazing while doing it but it will hinder you in the long run. Earlier we wrote how to gain confidence, now here are 10 ways to boost your confidence, so you can get what you’re looking for from life. Hopefully you find these tips very useful because they have been proven by so many people around the world. It’s amazing what a few slight changes in your life can make. Think of these tips in terms of baby steps; if you rush through them, you are going to fall.

Pamper Yourself

Many of us forget how important it is to pamper ourselves. Enjoy that time in the mirror in the morning; spend a little more time on your makeup or doing your hair. This is a great bonding experience with your body. The more you see yourself and spend time with yourself the more confident you will become.

Flaunt What You’ve Got

After you’re ready for the day, be proud of your body. You only live once and there is only one of you. You are completely unique in this world. Flaunt it, feel it, love it. The world is yours. Own it. Even if you don’t believe it to begin with; the exterior confidence will internalized over time.

Listen To Your Instincts

Trust yourself. Don’t second guess. The more you stress over something, the more likely you are to over think, causing yourself easily avoidable problems. Do you want to take that project your boss is offering but you aren’t sure you can handle it? Go for it if your gut is pushing you in that direction. Everything in life is a learning experience. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t dwell over them.

Don’t Listen To The Haters

No matter who you are, what you do, where you live; there are going to be people who don’t like you. Most the time they aren’t even going to have a good reason for it. There are people who are going to become angry at your success and take out their jealousy on you in the form of anger. Do you best to avoid such people. All they do is hold you back from your full potential. Tell yourself over and over if you have to, that you are not what they say you are.

Recognize Your Accomplishments

So many of us go on living day to day, without looking back and really enjoying the view. See all those things you’ve accomplished? Be proud of them. It doesn’t matter how small something may seem, it’s important to celebrate the small victories just as much as the big ones. You’re awesome and you know it. Look at everything you’ve done!

Learn To Accept A Compliment

What do you do when someone gives you a compliment? Do you brush it off and get embarrassed? While this may seem like an innocent way to do, it’s not. You need to recognize the things people like about you and realize that you are all of those things. People aren’t just making them up.

Surround Yourself By Good People

You know what happens to people who are around negative, insecure people? They become negative, insecure people. If you want to boost your confidence, hang out with people who really put themselves out there and are proud of who they are, what they do and know what they want out of life. The people around you; whether friends or family are meant to boost you up, not push you down. When people are positive and speak their mind, you are going to become more accustomed to that behavior and it will soon become second nature to you.

Do What Makes You Happy

If you aren’t happy with your life, your confidence is going to be lacking. Need a boost in confidence? Why not take life by the horns and fix things one step at a time. Don’t like your job? Find something better; something that makes you feel accomplished and unique. Pick a job that really shows off your personality and your good traits. The more you are able to be yourself and be happy in what you do, expressing yourself will become much easier.

Be Social

Nothing is worse for you than spending all of your time in your house; when your friends call, you make up some sort of story as to why you can’t make it this time. If you find yourself avoiding your friends, it’s time for a change. You may not think it matters all that much but getting out there, having some fun and spending time with people you care about is important. Everyone needs time to vent and really get all the stresses of life off your chest. If all you do is work you are going to become pretty depressed, and while you may be going through the motions of life; you aren’t going to be truly living. Living is being happy and being happy is being confident.

Go Outside Your Comfort Zone

The most important and probably the most difficult way to boost your confidence is to push yourself. Do those things that make you uncomfortable and make you feel like running away. This is the best way to get to know yourself. Follow your heart and do what you know is best. Never avoid if you can prevent it. Take life head on and your confidence is going to greatly increase.

When it comes down to it, how you do these steps doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you get them done. It may take you months, it may take you years but once you get to that confident point in your life, you are going to feel much better.
