5 Ways To Switch on Confidence

Fortunately, confidence is an art that can be learned with consistent practice. We can turn on the confident personality button anytime we want. There are quick and instant ways to just do that. You don’t need to suffer with low self-esteem all your life because of some negative beliefs you ingrained within.

The experiences you went through cannot be undone but what future you have to unfold is entirely in your hands. Confidence is the key to give shape to your future. Because when you show up for a job interview with confidence, you reflect success and when you handle the stress with confidence – you reflect wisdom. In any given moment, you can turn the tables around and be more confident, speak more confidently and express more confidence. Five simple steps to show up in the world with unwavering confidence are –

1. Breathe – We don’t remember how we breathe. We are unconsciously walking around with no idea of what we are actually dong with our lives. And the first step is to take a moment, stop, breathe in, breathe out and then take on life.
2. Positive Glossary – In everyday life we communicate through our words. Words be it from any language are either positive or negative. Words like happiness, joy, love, faith gives us positive emotions and words like stress, failure, anxiety, sadness return negativity. If you become a little aware of the words you use in everyday life, you can amazingly create changes.
3. Walk Faster – It’s a scientific proven fact that changing our physiological state can affect our mental state. Our emotions and our body postures are inter-linked. When you feel sad you are slouching or walking slow but when you feel confident, your gait is faster, clean and crisp.
4. When you know what you want to accomplish, your actions are driven with ease. But when you are not sure what you want the outcome to be things get clogged up. Be -clear on what you want in day-to-day life. It’s not about creating a list, it’s about being in the know what you want and then working to achieve it.
5. Write your results/achievements – Putting your past achievements and current results on paper is amazing. It creates an incredible bond with our own selves. When we count what we have done – from small to big – we create a momentum of doing and achieving more. Yes, you may have failed at times but failure is just an event and not your characteristic.
