3 Great tips to become more confident

 Confidence is everything. Whether at the workplace or at home, confidence weighs a lot in one’s life, as it can either help or destroy relationships. Being confident makes a huge difference in the day to day life, as people with more confidence and self esteem are more popular and can achieve more goals when compared to a person who suffers from a lack of confidence.

However, there are a couple of tips that just about anyone who would like to become more confident, but also achieve a higher number of things in their daily lives without fearing that they will fail can do.

 1. Break out of the comfort zone

Having no confidence means that one sticks to the comfort zone. Not taking risks is a way of staying in one’s shell and getting used to the comfort of routine does not help the confidence. In order to get out of one’s bubble, a person can:

• Face a fear

Fear of being in danger is so powerful for some people that they prefer to stick to the things they know. Facing such a fear (talking in public, meeting new people, starting conversations with strangers, etc.) can help build up more confidence. With this in mind, simply walk to people and ask them different questions, such as what the time is, or how their day is going.

• Do something new

While sticking to a daily routine can feel more secure, it doesn’t help much with the confidence. While trying out new things is sure to be considered scary by anyone who doesn’t have a high level of confidence, it is a smart thing to do as it can provide great benefits.

 2. Make plans for your future and follow them through

Making plans for new things or for the dreams you have is a great way of increasing the confidence in yourself. Following them through is, however, the key. This way you can discover new skills and abilities while also getting out of the comfort zone. Here are some ways of doing this:

• Keep a journal of your dreams

Keeping track of your dreams for the future can be very useful as it helps you realize how you develop over time. Together with this, it is also a great way to motivate yourself and make the goals you have easier to achieve.

• “The past is not the present”

Try to forget those embarrassing awkward things that happened in the past. The present is not the past and you should always remember this. Regardless of the fact that you may have some memories which made you lose some of your confidence, forgetting about them while also ignoring them represents the key to being courageous when thinking about the future and everything that it will bring.

 3. Small things can help you improve your confidence

Sometimes, building up your confidence doesn’t mean that you need to take major steps which may involve a lot of time, but also practice. There are tons of things that people can do from day to day that have been proven to improve a person’s confidence. Some of these easy to do tips include:

• Be more social with the others
• Exercise
• Compliment other people

Although the tips that have been outlined in this article have been designed in such a way to improve a person’s confidence, it is also equally important to remember that there is no specific or easy way. By considering these tips, but also doing things that you may enjoy doing but you have been scared about, chances are that your confidence level will also improve. Keep in mind the fact that only by staying motivated will you succeed, so stay strong and keep trying until you’ve reached the level of confidence that you desire.
