Here's the 5 tips:
1. Practice self-care
Self-confidence and self-care are often closely linked. Move your body, get good sleep, eating well can all make you feel better about yourself.
Taking time to assess your needs can help you to identify what makes you feel good about yourself. Practice mindfulness and gratitude can also help to reduce stress, and improve emotion regulation
2. Build positive relationships
Those who are negative and try to bring you down can often drain your confidence. Aim to build relationships with people who appreciate you. Their positivity can help you to feel more confident. I also would encourage you to look at what you allow into your life – like negative social media, news, the kind of books you read can all impact you.
3. Work on a growth mindset
Some research shows that those with a growth mindset tend to have higher self-esteem and resilience than those with a fixed mindset.
4. Challenge yourself
Set yourself a challenge to help build confidence. Although it’s natural to be nervous about trying new things, those with confidence will take on the challenge regardless.
They also recommend setting goals, which can help with forming new behaviors, giving focus, and starting to make gradual progress.
5. Practice self-affirmations
Various studies have shown the power of affirmations. Essentially, by telling yourself about your strengths and how confident you are, you can reinforce these positive thoughts. One particular study demonstrates that self-affirmations can help to maintain our self-efficacy, which is a key component of confidence.
Other studies have shown that neural pathways in the brain respond when people practice self-affirmations.
Some examples of positive affirmations for confidence include:
- I choose to believe I am confident
- I am confident and value myself
- I am confident in my abilities
- I let go of limiting beliefs and choose to trust myself
