Building momentum

Be the master of your own life – be your own boss. Increase the level of your commitment. Extend your knowledge base and skills. Keep on keeping on, celebrating your successes. Align yourself and set boundaries for your journey. Work along and do not cross your boundaries. Your journey is the key – your focal point.

Lay your rules and regulations. No one is better than you, so don’t waste your valuable and precious time comparing yourself to others – it destroys your confidence. Remember that you are still building it up, laying one brick after another.

Talk about your insecurities with your friends, family, loved ones and they will help you work on them. They will help you maximise on your weaknesses or failures. Keep focused, always round up your tasks before moving on to the next.

Always finish one task before starting another. Letting your tasks pile up will hinder your success. You will not be able to finish them and you will begin to question your abilities and think that you are a failure, this kills and destroys confidence. It will build negative energies which you are working on overcoming. 

Learn to accept yourself for who you really are. The power of self-acceptance out rules and overrides doubts, blame etc. This will boosting your confidence.

A little bit more… 

Look at yourself in the mirror and smile. This will make you happier [the facial feedback theory].  

Who is your role model? Adopt that characteristic, and begin to walk like them, talk like them, dress like them, and this will help you boost your confidence.

Take risks and when you succeed in them you will always want to take more of them without the fear of failure or circumstance. You will feel invincible. This will build your confidence.

Take compliments with an open heart and mind when people give them to you because confidence is instilled through positive recognition and reinforcements.

Practice makes perfect. Through practice you get better and better. Introduce yourself to new people, make new friends, build new networks and have a habit of listening when people speak. Practice active listening techniques. Emulate what confident people would do when a certain situation comes their way. With time you will build the confidence that you desire. Practice makes perfect.

Trust yourself in everything you do. No one will be in a position to trust you better than yourself. You are your own mantle when it comes to the issue of trust. Confident people trust themselves and that is the reason why they succeed in what they do.

Dress for success. Proper dressing will make you feel good and great about yourself. It makes you feel presentable and being part of those who are successful. 

Stay away from people who make you feel bad about yourself. Detach yourself from them. Make friendship with people who are result oriented, successful and this will fast improve your confidence. Making friendship with those people who are goal driven will fast make you imitate and want to be like them and this will fast bring you to grow to their level. This will quicken your steps towards building your confidence.

Get rid of all sources of negativity. Negate them. Focus on staying positive in everything you do.

Learn to make eye contact when you speak to anyone. It builds self-confidence. People don’t see confidence in someone who looks away whilst they are talking to them. Make it a habit to look in the eye.

Don’t over work yourself otherwise you will have a hard time seeking motivation if your mind is tired. Restlessness builds stress and results in memory loss. Cleanse your path and take mental breaks. Avoid activities that build tension and stress
