Need more CONFIDENCE? Try the following:
1. Self-talk: you CAN, you SHALL etc.
2. Smile at people and enjoy the positive response.
3. Set personal boundaries and enforce them.
4. Stand up straight; don’t slouch.
5. Break big tasks down into smaller ones; reward yourself when you achieve things.
6. Be around people who build you up; not those who tear you down.
7. If a day at a time is overwhelming, switch to taking things an hour at a time.
8.Try to develop a thicker skin. Not everyone likes you, but who cares? You don’t like everyone either!
9. Accept that hearing “no” and rejection are a fundamental part of life.
10. Draw a clear line between the personal and the professional.
11. Help others. It’s good to be needed.
12. Breathe, breathe, breathe.
It’s possible to build and/or improve your confidence on a daily basis.
Baby steps. Or crawl if you have to! When YOU start to believe in yourself, others will believe in you too!
