Everyone has a voice in his head. A voice that can say nice and unkind things. A voice that helps you further or what gets you down. How do you ensure that you continue to say the right things to yourself? Which habits provide more confidence? Beautiful questions with 7 beautiful answers …
1. Compare yourself with yourself
Why would you compare yourself with others? No one in the whole world can be better than you yourself. If you do not compare with anyone, you become who you are. Then you have a good focus on getting the best out of yourself.
Michael Jordan, the best basketball player of all times, has often said that he has been training a lot to defeat himself. To become better yourself. To grow yourself. A wonderful approach.
2. Be more friendly to others
If you are friendlier to others, you will look at yourself differently. In your mind you give yourself pat on the back of your own behavior. The friendlier you are, the easier you can appreciate yourself. And an additional (big) advantage is that your friendliness often recovers in the long term.
3. If you make a mistake, be your best friend yourself
Think of a mistake about what your best friend would say to you. Change perspective. Do the things that the other would say. Talk to yourself the way the other would help you. It helps to look more positively at your mistakes. Mistakes are proof that you are trying something new. Mistakes are growth opportunities.
4. Let go of perfectionism
Perfectionism blocks progress. Because of the fear that something will not be perfect, you will only be late in action. The fear that something will not go perfectly makes you constantly hesitate. A nice way to let go of perfectionism is to look less far ahead. Follow your heart and take small steps. Every small step forward gives you confidence. Focus on the effort you will make.
5. Celebrate your successes
Regularly reflect on the successes you achieve. With the things that have gone well through your efforts. At the beautiful things that you can be grateful for. Celebrate what you do well and share it with people who can be happy for you. By celebrating your successes, you become increasingly convinced of your own qualities, your own contribution, your own growth.
6. Say the right things to yourself
Make frequent use of affirmations. These are short, powerful sentences that reinforce your self-confidence. Think of a positive self-statement and write it down. Repeat these several times on a day for yourself. The more often, the better. Just keep repeating.
7. Consider yourself why your self-confidence is so important
– Life becomes a lot easier. You see fewer bears on the road.
– You are increasingly looking for acceptance by others and appreciation from others.
– You do not tackle yourself less often. This makes it easier to motivate yourself.
– Others would like to do with you. After all, you are easy to deal with.
– You win the trust of others.
– You believe in yourself and this has a big influence on where you end up.
What a wonderful reason. The more you work on your self-confidence, the belief in yourself and in your own possibilities, the better your life becomes and the easier it is to become more successful. A powerful development.
