Sharpen your Strength While it is true that you shouldn’t have any breaking weakness, the age-old concept of working on weakness is downright wrong. Even if you work hard on your flaws at best, you will become average while your strength remains underutilized. Successful people are aware of their weaknesses, but they work on their strengths and capitalize on it. Confidence can be built only on our strength. • Express Yourself Confident people never hesitate to express themselves or put across their ideas. They are not afraid to be wrong and learn from others. When you put across your point, speak with certainty, avoid phrases like I am not sure, I hope so, etc. People will not believe you if you are not expressing with conviction. Confident people never blabber, and their tone of voice will be precise.
Set Realistic Short term goals Confidence comes from success; by setting realistic short term goals, chances of succeeding will be higher. Series of success triggers dopamine the achievement hormone that helps to you gain more confidenceand prepare you to take on more challenges. • Conquer your Fears: Fear is the main setback for self-confidence. Beat that fear by preparing yourself as hard as you can and then facing it. If you can face your fear at least once, you will understand all that worrying was for nothing, and thus you will conquer your fear forever. Challenge Yourself, Prepare well, and conquer your fears.
Be Expert in your Domain Learn and gain expertise in your field; be an ever-learning student, and upgrade yourself to the changing environment. Never get stuck on constrains; if you decide to learn, nothing should stop you. Competence is power. • Feel your self-worth Don’t depend on others to measure your worth. You can get your feedback from well-wishers or mentors, not from everyone, because some feedbacks could pull you back. Concentrate on your goals and remove yourself from distractions. Confident people never wait for other’s approval or praise; they feel their self-worth from inside.
Positive affirmations and thoughts are the powerful weapons to hold your self-worth high. • Body Language As you know, body language speaks louder than words. How you carry and express yourselves project your confidence. Confident people have control over their emotions and will not get offended easily. Open body posture is an aspect of confidence. • Be Assertive Never try to do anything to please others, be clear on what you want. Your time is limited, prioritize your needs, learn to say NO, and be assertive. There is a fine line between assertiveness and aggression; being aggressive makes you unapproachable.
