Self-confidence simply is a positive feeling about yourself that comes
from knowing who you are and what you
can do. It is such feeling that makes you
believe “YOU CAN”. When you are self-
confident, it positively impacts every
other aspect of your life like career,
relationship etc.

Here are 10 ways you can develop and
boost your self-confidence

1. GROW YOUR MIND WITH KNOWLEGDE:
It all begins in your mind. Confidence is
basically a state of mind. How well
you’ve developed your mind determines
the level of your self-confidence. You
may have heard that knowledge is
power. What we feed our mind on
influences how we see ourselves and the
world around us. Our self-confidence
leaps when we know that we know.
Expose your mind to positive and quality
sources of knowledge.

2. GET RID OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS:
Thoughts that make you feel that you
are not good enough, a failure or nobody
will ebb your self-confidence. Be mindful
enough to identify and recognize when
these negative thoughts are trying to
take hold of your mind and replace
them soon enough with positive
thoughts and affirmations. This may not
be easy at the beginning but the more
you try to counter these negative
thoughts the easier it becomes. Do all
you can to have a positive mental
attitude all the time.

3. DISCOVER YOURSELF: Find ways to get
connected with your true self and grow.
True Self-confidence is rooted in who
you are. We all have something that we are good at. They are referred to as our strengths. Discovering these strengths helps your take pride in yourself, appreciate your worth and significance and consequently boosts your self-
confidence.

4. CONTROL YOUR FEARS: Self confident
people are not necessarily fearless. The
difference is that they always give
themselves a reason to act regardless of
their fears. Don’t forget that the best
way to deal with fear is to act. The
reason we allow fear paralyze us most
times is because we are good at pointing
out the negatives with little or no
consideration for the positive side. Think
more of what you stand to gain by
getting out of your comfort zone and
taking that bold step.

5. FORGET PERFECTION: If you are the type that think of doing things perfectly and feel less of yourself when you think you have not or cannot reach that
“perfection”, it’s time you had a rethink.
Perfection is not the same as excellence.
The key is doing all you can at the
moment and improving on it next time.
Mistakes are part of the learning
process. Don’t allow the mistakes of your
past to frustrate your present performance. perfectionism will only get
in the way of your self-confidence.

6. Stop Imitating And Comparing
Yourself to Others:
Comparing yourself
to others is a sign of inadequacy. When
you compare yourself with others you
are likely to become self-critical. We all
have specific abilities and strengths.
Focus on becoming the best you
can be. It takes an enormous amount of
energy to be who you are not. Accept
who you are and stop comparing yourself
or imitating others.

7. SET PERSONAL AND ACHIEVABLE GOALS:
It shouldn’t be about just setting goals.
Learn to set goals that are achievable
and develop the discipline to get them
accomplished. Being able to set goals
and realize them can be a boost to
your self-confidence. However, not
having any meaningful goal you are
pursuing or being unable to achieve your
goals can affect ones self-confidence
negatively. Do something you can be
proud of.

8. Hang Around Confidence-Builders:
Hanging people who are always
pessimistic and negative is a bad one for
your self-confidence. Hanging around
confident and successful people; those
who have successfully done or are
successfully doing what you intend to do
will inspire and boost yourself-
confidence.

9. Help Others: There is a sense of
fulfillment and satisfaction that comes
when we know that a life is better
because of something we have done. It
helps you appreciate your significance
and value to others. This can be a great
boost to your self-confidence.

10. Dress Like A Winner: We should give
attention to our looks (Mind you I am not
talking about getting a plastic surgery).
You may not have known this, but the
way you dress somehow affects your
self-confidence. This is because the way
you dress affects the way you feel about
yourself. When we are well-dressed we
feel better, energetic and comfortable
with ourselves and others. I can
personally attest to this. However, I think
it is all about your mindset. If you think
you are well dressed then you are but if
you think you are not you are equally
right.
