How to Build Self Confidence

How to Build Self Confidence. If you are among those who lack confidence, then building self confidence should be your goal. Self confidence is very important and necessary if you want to survive in today's society. Self confidence is needed in every field whether you are a sportsperson or a student. Building self confidence is necessary for both personality development as well as self-development. As said by a great personality "If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started". It is very easy to lose confidence but very hard to build self-confidence. Everyone wants to be successful in their life which is possible only if they have faith in themselves.

Steps

1. Focus on plus points. Try not to bring negative thoughts in your mind. Do not hanker for what is not possible. Try to pay more attention towards your plus points. Everyone has some or the other weakness but it should not stop them from moving ahead. Just do not keep thinking about that weakness, it will lower your self confidence. Make a list of things that you are good at and try to focus more on them. Try to set goals for yourself. Do not set goals that cannot be achieved. Step by step you will win the race, do not try to be hasty. It is seen that many have the habit of comparing themselves with others which results in dissatisfaction. Do not compare yourself with others as everyone is different and they may not have the talents that you possess. So set goals for yourself and try to achieve them. You should try to compete with yourself, this will let you increase your limit and help you to move forward in life.
2. Change your posture and always smile. The confidence of a person can be seen from the way a person walks and talks, in short it is visible from one's posture. A person who lacks self confidence looks depressed and has a sad expression on the face. Change your posture and try to sit straight. While talking to anyone maintain eye contact. Try to keep a bright smile on your face always. Some of you may think how one can change their confidence just by changing the posture. For all of you who think like that let me tell you that just by changing your posture you will be changing your emotional state. In a study conducted by researchers it is seen that a smile can give you a positive feeling. It is seen while smiling you do not feel depressed.
3. Appreciate others. Appreciating others is another way of building self confidence. By appreciating others and remembering all the good things that have happened to you, you will be improving your outlook. Always try to start your day by being grateful for whatever you have and you will be glad to see that your whole day will be great.
