Confidence is a charming trait that helps you keep a positive attitude, take risks, overcome obstacles, and succeed in life.
However, for some people being confident seems difficult for one reason or another. But don’t worry as confidence is not a fixed characteristic and can be acquired with practice over time.
A user named “The Sigma Mindset” shared useful psychological tips on platform X that shed light on how to be more confident. Let’s have a look at them:
Clothes: As clothes affect our cognitive process, wear clothes that make you feel fabulous when you feel low or need a quick boost in confidence.
Social media: We often compare our lives with others on social media. However, it doesn't always reflect the truth. Instead, journal your achievements that you are proud of.
Weak words, like ‘I’m not sure’ or ‘I think’ make you feel less capable and professional. Instead, start with ‘I believe’ to be in charge of your thoughts.
Swap your negative thoughts like ‘I’m shy’ or ‘I’m terrible at public speaking’ with ‘I’m very sociable’ and ‘I’m a very good public speaker, everyone wants to hear my ideas’, and similar.
When you are feeling nervous remember an event when you excelled with confidence. Bring back the positive energies to the present.
Although, at first it may seem difficult, with patience and practice, by following these tips you will grow to be a more confident person.
