BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules, confidence is a state of mind. Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind (self-esteem) and belief in your own ability, skills and experience. On the other hand, low confidence can be defined as a lack of faith in one’s abilities and competence. Low confidence can be a result of many factors including: fear of the unknown, lack of knowledge, previous failures and many more.
So, There are ways to improve your confidence:
1. Planning and Preparation.
People often feel less confident about new or potentially difficult situations. Perhaps the most important factor in developing confidence is planning and preparing for the unknown.
2. Learning, Knowledge and Training.
Learning and research can help us to feel more confident about our ability to handle situations, roles and tasks. Knowing what to expect and how and why things are done will add to your awareness and usually make you feel more prepared and ultimately more confident. Learning and gaining knowledge can sometimes make us feel less confident about our abilities to perform roles and tasks, when this happens we need to combine our knowledge with experience. By doing something we have learned a lot about we put theory to practice which develops confidence and adds to the learning and comprehension.
3. Positive Thought.
Positive thought can be a very powerful way of improving confidence. The basic rules of positive thinking are to highlight your strengths and successes and learn from your weaknesses and mistakes.
4. Talking to Others and Following Their Lead.
Speaking to and being around people who are confident will usually help you to feel more confident. Learn from others who are successful in fulfilling the tasks and goals that you wish to achieve, let their confidence rub off on you. As you become more confident then offer help and advice, become a role-model for somebody less confident.
5. Experience.
As we successfully complete tasks and goals, our confidence that we can complete the same and similar tasks again increases. Gaining experience and taking the first step can, however, be very difficult. Often the thought of starting something new is worse than actually doing it, this is where preparation, learning and thinking positively can help. Break roles and tasks down into small achievable goals.
"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful." - Mark Victor Hansen
