Self-assurance grows
The ability to be confident in oneself is something that some people are born with, while others learn it more easily. There is no fatality, that much is evident. It's possible to be lacking in self-confidence for an extended length of time before learning to build it.
Additionally, you may experience loss of it during challenging times and subsequently recover your confidence. This asset is not intangible.
Experience by experience and brick by brick, one builds self-confidence. It will be founded on sound self-knowledge; after all, you don't trust strangers. Gaining self-awareness enables you to transcend yourself, grow, and live a better, more accepting life in which you recognise and accept your talents and weaknesses.
Finding out when, when, and how this lack of confidence occurs should be your first step.
Is it in the realm of relationships or society? Do you constantly think that someone else is better than you?
Does this have an impact on your skills? Do you find it easy to feel incapable? Nothing at all?
Has this lack of confidence in yourself been a long-standing issue that is more related to who you are? Having problems identifying yourself? to find oneself? to feel affection for you?
Do you live your life under the constant scrutiny of an inner critic who kills you for every action you take? An acerbic, antagonistic voice within?
According to RW Emerson, self-confidence is especially important for achievement, making it the "first secret of success." She is the one who fosters boldness and tenacity and will grant us the confidence to believe in it; as a result, she helps us with every step that leads to the goal. Being confident in ourselves pushes us beyond our comfort zones, routine, determinism, and defeatism. Making decisions aids in our ability to position yourself.
Once you've determined which areas of your life you lack confidence in, set goals for yourself that will gradually enable you to make progress. There isn't a little triumph. Too timid, finding it hard to step in? You may get practice asking random people for their time on the street. Next, a schedule. Next, selecting one of the Lorraine quiches from the bakery. And so forth
Here are some activities to increase your confidence:
List your top five accomplishments in context.
Look for two or three traits that enabled you to achieve these results.
