7 Simple Steps to Self-Confidence: Small Changes, Lasting Impact

 

Self-esteem is the key to success and prosperity.  This is the goodness that encourages us to face challenges, make decisions, and move toward our dreams.  However, many people think that self-esteem is a "natural gift" that only comes to a few lucky people.  The fact is that self-esteem is an ability that can be fostered through daily exercises and through little habits.  The following are 7 habits that will gradually strengthen your self-esteem.  

1. Learn to Say "no" to Negative Thoughts 

Our mind often compels us to kneel, as it seems: "You won't happen", "You're not good enough", or "What would people say?"  Recognizing these negative ideas and rejecting them is the first ladder of self-esteem.  Whenever a negative idea comes, ask yourself: "Is it really so? Is there a real basis for this idea?"  For example, if you think "I can't do this", remember your past achievements and think: "I have done difficult things before, I can still do it".  

2. Make "Prefer" Self 

Self-esteem grows when you start to give importance to yourself.  This does not mean that you become selfish, but rather give your physical and mental health first priority.  Exercise 30 minutes daily, increase the use of water and meet sleep.  When you feel your body is healthy, the brain will remain positive too.  Also, take the time for yourself: read a book, listen to music, or go alone.  These small steps tell you that "you are attention".  

3. Small Goals Stand 

Every little step in success increases your confidence.  Many people dream big but do not set small goals daily.  For example, if you want to learn to speak English, target 5 new words daily.  Review your achievements at the weekend.  This process will tell you that "I'm constantly getting better", which helps to root out self-esteem.  

4. Fear "Hello" Somewhere 

Fear always hollows out our confidence.  But the solution is not to run out of fear, but rather to face it.  For example, if you are nervous about speaking in front of people, first describe your idea to a close friend.  Then talk in small groups.  Gradually your brain will accept this fear.  Remember: Every time you are afraid, your self-esteem reaches a new destination.  

5. Think of Failure "Teacher" 

Failure is considered a sign of defeat in mind, but in fact, he is the greatest teacher.  Whenever anything is good, ask yourself: "What did I learn from it?".  For example, if an interview did not go well, note where you missed.  Pay attention to this next time.  This habit tells you that "failure is not the final result", but a new opportunity.  

6. Make the "Circle" of Positive People 

People around us have a profound impact on our personality.  If your friends or family constantly criticize you or your dreams are a joke, it will hollow your confidence.  So add people in your nearest circle to appreciate and encourage your efforts.  Positive people not only make you feel better but also support you in difficult times.

7. Daily "I Can"  

Do not understand the power of words.  Standing in front of the mirror every morning and telling yourself: "I am capable, I am strong, I can achieve my goals".  In the beginning, it may seem strange, but within a few days, your mind will begin to believe that these words are true.
