Tips For Being A Little More Confident

Mar 31, 2023 | Rita

Ever seen those people who seem just to ooze confidence? And then wonder why you don’t have the same thing going on? If you think of confidence more like a skill and, therefore, something that you have to work on over time to get better at – it might make more sense. 

Confidence builds the more you nurture it, but you might need some tips on how to make it work.

Comparison 

Comparison is the thief of joy – a saying that holds very true. The more we look at others and ask ourselves if that could be us or why we aren’t like that, the less we will fall in love with our own life. There is a certain security and enjoyment that people with true confidence have in their own lives. 

If you can’t stop comparing yourself to others, it might be time to cut back on social media – or change who and what you follow. Only let your timeline be filled with people who encourage the type of growth you want to experience. 

Aesthetics 

Maybe one of the reasons you aren’t feeling all that confidence is that you haven’t found a style or aesthetic that makes you feel good. Many people struggle to find a style that makes them feel good. It is always worth taking time to experiment with looks – and clothing textures too. 

It’s not just your clothing, though; you might feel like your hair isn’t how you want it to be, or maybe your teeth need a little dentistry work – anything that you feel might make you feel better is something you can do and change. 

Circle 

Who is in your circle, and what is it that they do for you – and what do you do for them? Almost all relationships will have some type of give and take because that is how they feed into each other and grow well. Who you spend time with influences how you think and what you do. 

When you are surrounded by negative people or people who would happily give you negative feedback or tear you down, this will have an incredible impact on your confidence. 

Self Talk 

What are you saying to yourself? How often do you get up and say you are amazing? That you are doing a good job? How often do you ensure that you are a priority in your work? Positive self-talk and being kind to yourself is a must-do for increasing your confidence. 

Many studies have shown that self-compassion and self-confidence are heavily linked – so what you say to yourself directly impacts how you feel. So, ditch negative self-talk and try to make sure that you say good things to yourself often. 

Goals

Setting goals that huge can be one of the biggest things that knocks your confidence. When we set goals that are very high and tough (or impossible) to achieve, it will leave us feeling like we aren’t able to achieve them – and that can double down. 

One of the best things you can do is move your body and stretch it out; yoga works wonders for finding your center, balance, and general health: The Power of Yoga Therapy – Rita Reviews.

    I get caught up in comparison all too often! I am competitive which does not help…. I need to focus on me and not anyone else.

    I’d add – don’t be too worried what others think of you in an “embarrassing” moment. People are more worried about embarrassing themselves than what’s happening with you. Be okay with laughing at yourself and move on.
