Stand tall is probably another good one. But also don't be snobby and arrogant.

  Notice how confident people act
  How they walk
  How they talk
  How they stand
  how they use body gestures
  Then visualize yourself acting exactly like
  them and do it in real life as well and
  before you now it you will be them.
  Fake it till you make it
  
  Thanks

  To build our confidence it is good to follow certain thinks in our life:
  
  Recognize your insecurities.
  Talk about it with friends and loved ones.
  Remember that no one is perfect.
  Identify your successes.
  Relax.
  Live in the Moment.
  Cherish any kind of lightheartedness in your life.
  Take a vacation.
  
  Thanks

I Will Have Courage

Today I will have courage
To do one thing that is new
I will be kind to another
And to myself be true
Today I will remember
The blessings that are mine
I'll live the day with confidence
And for me the sun will shine

That's an interesting list. I whole-heartedly agree with making eye contact. That's something I practice all the time and I definitely notice when someone else does not hold eye contact with me.

Copy someone who you admire and find to be confident. Learn from them, read what they are reading, get in habit of studying them and see what you can follow

Moving slowly is high status ... whereas a 25% increase in walking speed tends to lower your status. Since self esteem correlates somehow with social status, it might be worth it thinking about that point again.

High status behavior is definitely not the answer to all low confidence problems, yet it gives you some proof and positive feedback from the people around you.

I'd like to recommend David DeAngelo's (=Eben Pagan) program: "Body Language". Don't know for sure if it's still available, but maybe it's been sold on ebay!?

As said above: fake it till you make it is won't get you to higher self esteem all by itself. I'd say it's a combination of fake-it-til-you-make-it and work on yourself (what the PUAs call "inner game").

Yeah! Just work on this one thing:

When you're in a group, especially of new people, and you're all going to contribute or share something...

Make sure you go first.

Expectations are lower when you go first.

People appreciate it when you start things off by going first.

It's easier to get it over and done with, instead of worrying about what you're going to say, when you go first.

You look like a leader when you go first.

You are a leader when you go first.

Easiest thing in the world to do. Very high return on your emotional investment.

Building your confidence is like taking a bath everyday. If you feel good or fresh it can increase your confidence. Loving yourself is the very basic solution to increase the confidence. Let yourself go to spa, buy clothes, watch movies, have a date, go to carnivals and etc. Make yourself happy and eventually it will lead it up to that.

According to Nathaniel Branden, PhD, confidence = self-esteem. And self-esteem is:

1) Self-awareness
2) Self-acceptance
3) Responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, actions
4) Living purposefully
5) Acting with integrity and authenticity
6) I forget

  I like to live by the advice in the poem Desiderata ...
  
  Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
  
  Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
  
  Thanks

Visualize the person you admire and want to be.
See how that ideal person would act in different situations.
Try to make the visualizations as real as possible.
Especially do this for situations you encounter often.
Then when that situation arises, do as you had visualized.

Every day, do a five minute workout:

2, Talk to yourself in a confident way
3, Use your body as if you were already confident
4,Take one risk every day

Thanks to Paul Mckenna for this brilliant work!
