Nervous about speaking your mind? Afraid to go after what you want? Don't let self-doubt keep you from your goals. Place value on who you are and what you do, and your self-esteem will skyrocket. Here are a couple of quick tips to help you step boldly:
First, recognize negative inner thoughts. Confidence begins with a positive self-image. What you think of yourself affects how you feel. And how you act. So get rid of your inner critic and replace her with an inner cheering section.
Easier said than done, you say? Not really. To turn negative self-thoughts positive, take stock of your qualities and achievements. Give yourself more credit and make it a habit.
Let go of pessimistic people who drag you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic friends who can build you up.
Seek structured support groups through church, classes, volunteer work. These formal settings will make you feel more capable.
Give your confidence a boost with these simple changes. Go ahead, you can do it!
