Feeling good about who you are and the life you live shouldn’t depend on a
specific outcome, yet all too often people put themselves down or beat
themselves up because they haven’t done this or got that. Your confidence
shouldn’t be dependent on the goals you've achieved, nor should it be
dependent on the feedback you get from others, your dress size or the
amount in your bank account.


1. Accept your imperfections.
I am perfectly imperfect.
There's no such thing as perfection, yet so many people exhaust themselves
and erode their self-confidence in pursuit of it. When you accept your
imperfections you recognize that you have strengths and weaknesses … and
that’s OK.
2. Always do your best.
I always do my best, and my best is always good enough.
When you set impossible goals that you have no real chance of achieving,
you're setting yourself up for failure before you begin. When you focus on
always doing your best, you're able to have much more realistic expectations
of yourself and what you can achieve.
3. Stop comparing yourself to others.
I have no need to see myself as more or less than anyone else.
Whether it’s your neighbors, celebrities or the people you see on reality TV,
comparing yourself to others will usually leave you feeling inadequate. When
you stop comparing yourself to others, the only person you'll need to impress
is yourself.
4. Believe in your potential.
I fully expect my life to be happy and rewarding.
Not only is worrying a big waste of energy, it also sends a clear message to
your subconscious about your expectations in life. Instead of worrying about
things that might never happen, focus your attention and efforts on making
the things you want your reality.
5. Silence your inner critic.
I only welcome thoughts that support and encourage me.
The way you speak to yourself has a big bearing on how you feel about
yourself; if you speak to yourself in a harsh, critical or belittling way, your
confidence will whither. You are the guardian of your self-esteem and you
should never speak to yourself more harshly than you would to a small child.
6. Challenge yourself.
I am brave and willing to step outside of my comfort zone
Confidence and self-belief are like muscles; you need to exercise them if you
want to grow stronger. When you challenge yourself, you are telling your
subconscious that you believe in yourself and that you are willing to back
yourself in new circumstances and situations.
7. Stop making excuses.
I take full responsibility for who I am and the life I lead.
If you aren't living your best life, you need to examine not only the things that
are getting in your way, but also the reasons you're letting them. When you
stop making excuses and start taking responsibility, you're able to enjoy the
things that are great about your life while harboring no illusions about what
you need to change if you are to enjoy everything else.
8. Treat yourself with love and respect.
I always treat myself with love and respect.
When you love yourself, you treat yourself with as much love and respect as
you would your closest friend, be understanding and forgiving of your failings
and, above all, be as kind to yourself as you are to the other important people
in your life.
