Self-confidence is such a human property, on which such qualities as success, the ability to perform actions, and career prospects depend. However, healthy, adequate self-esteem should not be confused with arrogance, suspiciousness and the desire to go over the head.
Instructions
Step 1
Self-confidence is like being in good physical shape: you always have to work on it. Only diligence and work will help you become a confident and successful person. There are several simple and effective ways to improve your self-esteem.
Step 2
Dress tastefully. Taste is a controversial point: either it is here or it is not, but glossy magazines and stylists' advice can always come to the rescue. If you look good, people will be drawn to you, and the wider your circle of acquaintances, the more popular you are. And popularity, like nothing else, increases the rating.
Step 3
Develop a steady gait and correct posture. If you walk with your head down, waddling, shuffling your feet, no one will pay attention to you. Unless he can regret it. Walk with a calm measured gait, with your shoulders straightened and your head raised. This will give you importance and significance. You will feel a surge of confidence and make a positive impression on acquaintances and colleagues at work.
Step 4
Write affirmations and post them around the apartment. Their content may be different: "I can handle everything", "I will soon have a high-paying job", "my relationship with a guy will move to a qualitatively new level." The power of self-hypnosis works wonders. Also try to advertise yourself to yourself. Write a short speech highlighting your pros and cons. Convincing yourself that you are an outstanding and interesting person will add confidence to yourself.
Step 5
Remember to compliment others. If you have a negative attitude towards people, then, apart from insults and discontent in your address, you will not hear anything. Praise other people and they will start to like you, thereby building self-confidence to a new level. Do it sincerely and with a smile on your face.
Step 6
Always express your opinion. People, as a rule, in large companies or collectives are afraid to speak their thoughts out loud. It seems to them that their proposals are stupid and unfounded. However, by expressing your point of view, you will demonstrate its existence in principle, which is important for the development of leadership and public speaking skills.
Step 7
Go in for sports. Fitness, like clothing, can add bonuses to you. Running or swimming will not only help you stay in great physical shape, but will also have the desired tonic effect and set a positive mood for the whole day. And a person who is cheerful and contented with life cannot be insecure in himself.
