Self confidence tips - what I say...
Ah,
self-confidence that elusive and wily ol' fox! One minute you're on top of the
world oozing confidence and feel-goodness, the next you're feeling down and out
after fluffing your lines, again!
...Or something like that! We all have
self confidence and we all lack it, at times, too. And we all know how much better
life feels when we approach it with a confident, positive
attitude.
Emanuel's self confidence tips below are really just
sensible ways to live your life the best way. They show you how to improve
your self confidence, for sure, but I would argue that they also show you how
best to deal with any and all situations you are bound to face in your life.
For
example, I've just split up with my girlfriend at time of writing this page (it's
June 23rd, 2008, and we broke up at the end of May). And, guess what, it doesn't
feel nice! :-( But I know that if I follow Emanuel's self confidence tips that
I will enjoy my life as much as I can as I try to get over the end of another
relationship and to move on. And I'm sure my confidence will be boosted too! :-)
Anyway, great self confidence tips, Emmanuel
- thanks muchly!
And, as for you, what good or bad things are happening
to you right now and how is your confidence (or lack of it) helping (or not)?
Or just let us know what you think
of these tips - thanks.
Okay, now it's time for Emmanuel and his self
confidence tips...
Ten Tips to Increase Your Self-confidence
Self
improvement tips - what Emmanuel Segui has to say...
Self-confidence
is an important key to success in any walk of life. People with self-confidence
are noticed more. They achieve their goals relatively easily. In contrast, people
who lack self-confidence often end up being losers. You too need to build your
self-confidence if you want to do well in life. Here are ten tips that can help
you build that elusive self-confidence:
1. Self-confidence is found in
people who have healthy self-esteem. They know their personal worth and act
accordingly. A good way to improve your personal worth is to make a list of your
accomplishments every day. You will be surprised to know how many positive acts
you perform every day in life, but which you don't notice. Once you start looking
at this list, your self-confidence will boom.
2. Be clear about your
goals. If need be, break your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks. Pat
yourself every time you achieve a minor goal. It will boost your self-confidence,
and help you achieve bigger goals.
3. Find a mentor who can help you
reach your goal. Most people, who have done well in life, have a mentor who
has traveled the same road on which they are traveling today. Meet your mentor
regularly, and seek his advice and support as a routine. You will find that you
are learning something valuable every day.
4. Socialize with people who
are positive and supportive, who like and respect you. Give them the same
support and respect that they give you. Avoid people who are negative and critical
of you. Such people erode your self-confidence. They make you look at your negative
self, and not your positive self. After some time, you get enveloped in their
cynical and negative world-view. Nothing can be more damaging than that. Dump
such friends as soon as you can.
5. Pay attention to how you look.
Take pleasure in wearing good clothes and being well groomed. It makes you feel
good. People too look at you differently. Remember that every human being wants
to be found in the company of smart, intelligent, successful people. You can soon
be a centre of attraction if you radiate a positive, smart look. It can very easily
make the difference between success and failure.
6. Don't be afraid of
failures. Take them in your stride and move on. Say to yourself that you will
succeed the next time. Never make the mistake of allowing your failures to overwhelm
you. They will force you into a shell, and destroy your self-confidence. A better
way is to shrug your failures as something inconsequential, and take on a new
challenge. Of course, you must learn from your mistakes, and be realistic about
your abilities. People who try to over-reach often fall down. You should not allow
that to happen in the name of self-confidence.
7. Keep yourself fit by
exercising regularly and controlling your diet. A fit and healthy person is
much more active and achieves more in his career. Physical fitness, like self-confidence,
glows on your face.
8. Have a wide range of interests, and take an
active interest in what's going on in the world. Meet and talk to a lot of people.
Don't focus all your attention only on your work and on your problems. Divert
your attention to new interests, and new tasks. This will keep your mind happily
occupied, and boost your self-confidence.
9. Take part in activities
that you are good at. You may have excelled at things in the past and then
given them up due to lack of time. Return to those activities again and see your
self-confidence grow.
10. Pick up a new hobby or craft that interests
you. It will keep you occupied. It will also increase your self- confidence
as you become more skilled in it.
Try to practice these tips as faithfully
as you can, and see the difference in your life.
