Treating Your Confidence

Confidence is a state of mind. When we are confident, we believe in our abilities. When we are not, we can be anxious, stressed, and unhappy.

Self Confidence is essential to lead a happy life. Increasing your confidence is the best gift you can give to yourself.

Unfortunately not everyone feels the same. In fact, the majority of people struggle with their confidence and feel that if they can overcome the barriers, their lives will change forever.

Why confidence is so important?

Building your confidence or learning how to be self-confident is essential in every phase of our life, but there are instances where it’s become very vital, especially when you are going through the harsh time and you feel like losing everything.

Similarly, if you are in a position that demands to be dependable, being confident is necessary. No one will rely on you if you are unsure of yourself.

Low confidence can have a major impact on your life and on your abilities to achieve your goals in both professional life and personal life.

Building Confidence

Confident people enjoy their lives, they are full of life and natural. They have control over themselves. Consequently, they are more fulfilled. They play according to their rules and progress at their own pace. Their actions and words are assured and simple.

Below there are few practices that you will find helpful in improving your confidence level:

Block negative thoughts:

You can train yourself to think positive and to reframe their view of stressed causing experiences. Some people can do this alone, but a therapist or trained individual to provide behavioural therapy can offer assistance. With proper mental focus, you can reduce negative thoughts that are blocking your way to progress to the full extent of your potential.

Assertiveness:

When people have self-confident, they can handle and meet their needs better. Assertiveness training will improve your confidence level and will also help you to get rid of depression, and stress issues.

Develop self-esteem:

When your self-esteem rises, the self-confidence level also grows. Self-esteem improving activities, such as listing down your strengths and accomplishments, practising certain exercises, or developing concrete action plans to overcome weak areas, are found effective in promoting self-confidence.

Encouraging affirmations:

According to mental health, experts replacing all your negative thoughts with positive ones is more effective than just blocking them. Studies have proven that encouraging self-talk can improve your mental health and self-confidence.

Set your Goals and reward yourself:

Incentives can help you a great deal and can be a reason to achieve any goal and improving your self-confidence is not at all different. You can set achievable goals to improve your self-confidence and use rewards to support the actual reason behind their achievements.

Counselling or seek health support:

If none of the above tips works for you, then you must seek advice from therapists, or life coaches. Therapy sessions particularly hypnotherapy can be beneficial to treat your confidence level.
