BUILDING CONFIDENCE
When you set to build your muscle, it needs to be exercised and strengthened in order to grow and also involves working out at the gym. Imagine for a moment that your confidence is a muscle and just like going to the gym, building confidence takes time and requires efforts. If you had the confidence to go after your dreams, you tend to achieve it.
Confidence is the belief in your own abilities and qualities. It is the feeling of being sure of yourself and what you are capable of. With that foundation laid, let's discuss some practical ways to build confidence.
First, start by setting small, achievable goals. When you set small goals and achieve them, you build a sense of accomplishment and self efficiency. This will help you to feel more confident about taking on bigger challenges. So instead of trying to write pages of article, start with something more modest, like writing short notes.
Another tip for building confidence is focusing on your strengths. Everyone has unique strengths and talents, and focusing on what you're good at can help you feel more confident overall. So, take some time to reflect on your strengths and make an effort to build on them. This will help you feel more capable, enabling and self-assured.
However, sometimes, our inner critic can be our biggest obstacles to confidence. Hence, it is very important to challenge negative self talks and the small voices that whisper that you are not capable to do something. So, when you find yourself having negative thoughts, brace up to challenge them. For example, if you have a thought that 'I can do this', counter it with a phrase like 'I can try my best'.
That's fantastic! Another related tip is to practice self compassion. Self compassion is the act of treating yourself with kindness and understanding, rather than harsh criticism. So, when you make a mistake or feel down, try talking to yourself the way you would talk to a good friend. Remember that everyone makes mistakes, and it is better to learn from it rather than sulk over it.
In your quest to build confidence, you must prioritize self care.Taking care of yourself, both physically and emotionally, can help you feel more confident and capable. So, make sure to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, make time for things you enjoy and don't forget to take breaks when you need them. Even small acts of self-care can make a big difference in our mental and physical health, and ultimately, our confidence.
Confidence is often thought of as elusive qualities, something you're either born with or without but the truth is, confidence is a quality that can be developed and strengthened over time. Though, it requires a lot of efforts and time too.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT A DESTINATION BUT A JOURNEY. IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN BUY OR FIND, IT IS SOMETHING YOU MUST CREATE FOR YOURSELF.
