In self-confidence hides a power that we all have, which is to believe in ourselves. Throughout our personal development we are polishing our defects and our virtues. Based on our experience and learning we are shaping the unique being that we are.
In self-confidence lies the impulse that makes us grow and enrich ourselves in the face of the great diversity of experiences.
Our vision of the world depends on how we see ourselves , as well as our relationship with other people.
Believing in yourself is the basis for your self-confidence
Self-confidence is based on the image that we have created of ourselves since childhood, a self-image that we shape in relation to the experiences we live ; and of course, to a large extent to the interaction that we maintain with the other people in our environment...
What happens when we don't have confidence in ourselves?
What happens is that we underestimate what we can achieve, and we don't dare to carry out our dreams and illusions... we block ourselves in the face of challenges and settle in comfort, limiting our experiences and abilities to develop ourselves.
Why are there people with better self-confidence than others?
This has to do above all with the value we give to the opinion of others and how the assessment of other people and their criticism affect us . When we give more importance to what others say about us and try to meet their expectations, without having first observed our motivations, then it is inevitable to create a distorted and undervalued image of ourselves.
So, how do you build good self-confidence? Can all of us build it?
Next we will see how it is possible to work on self-confidence, if we focus first of all on our self-knowledge.
How to build and cultivate your self-confidence on a day-to-day basis
Anyone, no matter how low self-confidence they have, is capable of replacing that image they have with a more beneficial one, so it is necessary to be willing to get involved in self-knowledge and begin to value one's own tastes, expectations, motivations. , dreams and illusions.
Getting to know yourself in all aspects will provide you with a unique vision of yourself, you will verify that you are not just another person, it is you, a unique being... you have a personality, talents and experiences that no one else has... You must focus on how you can move forward in relation to yourself and be the best person you are capable of being.
It helps us see opportunities. Having clear goals allows us to be aware of the opportunities that exist around us and makes us more receptive to subtleties and more likely to take advantage of opportunities to achieve our goals.
Generate more creative solutions.
The person who does not trust himself is filled with disbelief and anxiety, and trust stimulates reasoning and, above all, the search for more original solutions.
Stimulates proactivity and perseverance.
It is difficult to persevere if, deep down, we are convinced that we cannot achieve our goal, but if we believe that we have the necessary strength, we will be more proactive and persevering because we will be more motivated and obstacles and mistakes will not discourage us.
It makes people more responsive to our demands. Although it is not always a conscious process, this perception can determine the relationship that is established. Self-confidence breeds confidence.
How can you work on your self-confidence?
We detail some proposals to work it:
Think cold every possible option.
A good exercise is for everyone to distance themselves from their own person, to analyze what they do (as if it were an external observer) to try to recognize the acts and habits that they do that harm them.
Analyzing situations externally will help to see the problem in its entirety and decide how to act. Decisions must be made based on what is best in the medium and long term. Of course, you should not make the mistake of choosing the most comfortable solution.
Think from a distance about negative habits.
Having negative thoughts prevents you from having a useful image about yourself. You have to try to have an objective image, although it is very difficult... but the image you have of yourself should be useful in daily life and in decision-making.
If you do not have self-confidence, you see everything in a pessimistic way, in the end we focus on what goes wrong and underestimate the positive. Detecting negative thoughts and acknowledging them makes the person focus on what really matters and how they can improve.
You don't have to compare yourself with others.
Today everyone presents their good side, shows their positive things and tries to hide the negative ones, so people tend to think that they have perfect lives…. This is a mistake, there are no perfect lives and they also make mistakes.
Do not let advertising influence self-esteem.
Propaganda has great power over people…advertising agencies are increasingly specialized in influencing people by creating insecurities, especially in women and feminine beauty.
It is necessary to try to maintain the identity without publicity sinking it or trying to change it.
Try to maintain good health.
You have to exercise daily, follow a healthy and varied diet and have good hygiene. When the body is well, the mind is also well, so you have to take care of the body-mind connection. Improving these aspects will also improve the image we have of ourselves.
You have to sleep enough hours and correctly.
Rest is essential for many things and also for self-confidence. If you don't rest, stress and fatigue accumulate, which directly affects the way you interpret things and the decisions you make.
It is better to set realistic goals.
To improve self-confidence you have to think about actions that improve self-esteem , you have to learn to see yourself in a more friendly way.
All the objectives that we set ourselves must be realistic and possible to achieve, it is useless to consider the impossible and fail, because we will only worsen our self-confidence; If we set goals that we can achieve and we achieve them, little by little the image we have of ourselves will improve.
You have to take advantage of each situation to put into practice what you have learned.
It is useless to know how to improve self-confidence if you never start putting it into practice…. Every situation, no matter how small, is the perfect time to do it.
Little by little we will feel more capable and prepared to face any situation, without fear and with more tools to manage it.
Surround yourself with positive people.
Surrounding ourselves with people who love us and who transmit positive energy inspires us to try to be better, to love ourselves a little more each day and to create a solid and stable foundation of self-confidence. The whole process will be easier and more bearable.
Help whoever needs it.
Everyone needs help at some point: you have to be kind, empathetic and help others as much as possible. Helping makes us feel better.
