Webster's dictionary states "self-confidence is a confidence in oneself and in ones powers and ability." Feelings of self-confidence based on your appearance are purely in your mind, meaning your confidence depends on your personal thoughts and perceptions about the way you look. If you could change the way you think about your appearance, you can change your level of self-confidence.

Here are 6 tools to help build self-confidence:

1. OWN IT - Don't wait for it to happen, take charge now, TODAY. Be responsible for yourself, realizing you have the power to implement change in your life. No one can change your self-confidence, make you feel a certain way or control the things occurring in your life but YOU!

2. CREATE AN ACTION PLAN - Write it down. For example if you want a new job. Outline your dream job, (hours you want to work (from home, part-time), what are you good at, what would you'd be willing to learn) or are you starting over? Do research, read books, browse the internet for opportunities. If you continue moving toward your goal your self-confidence will increase as you realize you are making strides towards the goal even if it's just educating yourself.

3. ACT - Act as though your confident even if it feels forced. Smile more and act as though you are confident and you will be. Hold your head high, make eye contact and smile. This alone will make you appear more confident.

4. BE POSITIVE - Display a positive attitude. Stop complaining and lead by example. Be positive and compliment others. A positive attitude towards others will give back positive feedback so in the process your self-confidence will grow.

5. GET A MENTOR - Establish a relationship with a mentor. This person can share some insight into the skills they use to build and maintain self-confidence. For example this person can be a superior at work or from a club your involved in. This individual should be someone your comfortable talking with and you see as being very confident and look up to.

6. LOOK IN THE MIRROR - Last but not east take care of your personal appearance. Although inward beauty is very important outward beauty is a reflection of what you may feel inside. Start building your self-confidence by dressing nicely, maintaining good posture, smile often, exercising and making sure your skin is looking its best. Great skin helps radiate confidence.

“Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.”
Helen Keller

I believe that one of the most common wishes is simply to feel more confident in various situations in life.

But how?

Confident friends may say: “Well, just be confident, man!”. However, to a person that doesn’t feel that confident this piece of advice may not be very helpful. At all.

My tips are:

1. Take action. Get it done.

The most important step in building self confidence is simply to take action. Working on something and getting it done. Sitting at home and thinking about it will just make you feel worse.

2. Face your fear.

Look, I could tell you to do affirmations or other exercises for months in front of your mirror. It may have a positive effect. Just like preparing yourself it may help you to take action with more confidence.

But to be frank, if you don’t listen to the quotes above and face your fears you won’t experience any better self confidence on a deeper and more fundamental level. Having experiences where you face your fear is what really builds self confidence. There is no way around it.

3. Prepare.

When you know nothing of what you are about to do it’s very easy to get lost in vague, foggy fear and start building big horror scenarios in your mind of what may happen if you give it a try.

Preparing yourself and educating yourself can be a big help here.

4. Realize that failure or being wrong will not kill you.

Again, you have to face your fear. Because it is only then that you discover the thing that billions of people throughout history have discovered before you. Failure won’t kill you. Nor will being wrong. The sky will not fall down.

5. Get to know who you are and what you want out of life.

To build and find more confidence in yourself you have to get to know yourself better. Go exploring. Face some of your fears. Fail over and over and understand that it isn’t really that big of a deal. Grow stronger through such experiences and also become more internally relaxed.

When you know more about who you are and what you want out of life – not other people say you want – you will have more confidence in yourself and what you can do.

best wishes,

Aigul Erali

When you know more about who you are and what you want out of life - not other people say you want - you will have more confidence in yourself and what you can do.

...and even more confidence when you actually WRITE stuff you post as yours. More than one person in this thread knows what I mean.

I find the easiest way is accumulating lots of small actions and do them right. All the small success will add up to a bigger confidence to tackle bigger things.

very useful advise.. this is fear which doesn't allow to take action....
