Let’s get right into the 7 best tips on how to be more confident in yourself.
HOW TO BE MORE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF
1. STOP TAKING THINGS PERSONAL
I’ve learned this the hard way but always begin stuck in your own mind about how other people perceive you or you perceive them is usually wrong.
Work on taking things from a more logical approach (this can actually be its own tip). Allow yourself to take a new perspective the next time you find yourself taking things personally. It’s not always what it may seem.
Understand that everyone in this world has their own prerogative and that you had control to view things for exactly what they are.
How will this make you more confident? Well, you won’t make anyone’s bullshit or excuses your own. You will not take rejection or insults as true, you will guide yourself to your own opinions and what it is you want to tell youself about whatever it is that you are working on to not take personal.
2. ARTICULATE YOURSELF WELL
There’s one thing that make most people lose our attention and also credit in ourselves and that’s – the way we speak.
Learning how to say whatever it is that you are trying to get your point across will make you seem more knowledgable and people will trust you more.
Begin able to use words and expressions properly will allow people to view you in a way that is fascinating and wanting to know more.
How do you articulate yourself properly? You can start by reading books. Immerse yourself in topics what make you passionate. Learn about things people do not usually know about and study it.
When you surround yourself with the topic you are passionate about you tend to show it in the way you speak and the words you choose. Now, that’s not to say use big vocabulary words – NO!
Avoid using words you are not 100% sure the meaning to, this will loose you browine points and with your luck you may run across someone who will correct you thus leaving that person thinking you are a know-it-all. No one likes that.
Record yourself more often talking to your camera and play it back. See and hear how you talk and if it sounds like you actually know what you are talking about.
3. NO ONE LIKES A KNOW-IT-ALL
A confident person knows that they know nothing (or is that a wise person). Either way, your job is to be honest with yourself and those around you.
Begin confident is knowing when you are not sure and stating so, “Wow, that seems intresting but no I’ve never actually heard of that. That might be something I may look into.”
Expressing to others that you are okay with not knowing every topic about every subject in a group setting will allow them to build trust with you. The confidence you get when you can do this is immensly liberating.
It’s great to learn from others and hear what other people have to say. Work on listening more.
4. LISTEN MORE THAN YOU SPEAK
The more you speak the more of a possiblity you have a chance of making a fool out of your character.
Listening is a powerful tool that many of us overlook. This comes with practice and is not done overnight. However, allowing others to speak will let you learn more not only about other people but yourself.
The next time you catch yourself wanting to interject or cut someone off while they are speaking, take a pause, assess your situation, and make the conclusion if it is deire for the person to really hear what you are going to say. Sometime you would be suprised that you tll youself, “yeah, this is not worth me bring up.”
People also enjoy talking so when you get the chance let them. Talk less, listen more.
5. USE AFFIRMATIONS
It goes without saying that we may not always feel confident, that’s impossible. And if you are a person 100% of the time please let us all know your secret!
