How to improve self confidence
 Recognize your insecurities. What does that voice in the back of your mind say?
What makes you ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from acne, to regrets, or
friends at school. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, ashamed, or inferior, identify it,
give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling
positive on those points.

Talk about it with friends and loved ones. Wear it on your sleeve. Each day you should
chip away at it; wear it down. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus
on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. And
that doesn't mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you
simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they
are, without necessarily thinking of them as "bad".
 3
Remember that no one is perfect. Even the most confident people have insecurities. At
some point in any of our lives, we may feel we lack something. That is reality. Learn that
life is full of bumps down the road.
 4
Identify your successes. Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which
you excel, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them.
Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority is a state of mind in which you've
declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized. Express yourself,
whether it's through art, music, writing, etc. Find something you enjoy. Everyone is born
with talents and strengths. You can develop and excel in yours. If it's difficult to name
two or three things you have some ability in or just plain love to do, think about things
others do that you would like to do too and take some lessons or join an enthusiasts club.
When you're following your passion, not only will it have a therapeutic effect, but you'll
feel unique and accomplished, all of which can help build your self confidence. Plus,
adding a variety of interests to your life will not only make you more confident, but it
will increase your chances of meeting compatible friends!
 5
Be thankful for what you have. A lot of the times, at the root of insecurity and lack of
confidence is a feeling of not having enough of something, whether it's emotional
validation, good luck, money, etc. By acknowledging and appreciating what you do have,
you can combat the feeling of being incomplete and unsatisfied. Finding that inner peace
will do wonders for your confidence.
 6
Be Positive, even if you don't feel the same way. Avoid self-pity, or the pity and
sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior--they can only do so if
you let them. If you continue to loathe and belittle yourself, others are going to do and
believe likewise. Instead, speak positively about yourself, about your future, and about
your progress. Do not be afraid to project your strengths and qualities to others. By doing
so, you reinforce those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive
direction.
 7
Accept compliments gracefully. Don't roll your eyes and say, "Yeah, right," or shrug it
off. Take it to heart and respond positively ("Thank you" and a smile works well).

5.
Look in the mirror and smile. Studies surrounding what's called the "facial feedback
theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to
register certain emotions. So by looking in the mirror and smiling every day, you might
feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.
 9
I am gorgeous, huh?
Fake it. Along the same lines of smiling to make yourself feel happy, acting confident
might actually make you believe it. Pretend you're a completely confident version of you;
go through the motions and see how you feel!
 10
Stick to your principles. It might be tough, but if you don't have something you can
believe in, you don't have anything. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for
anything. No matter what's happened in your life, you can always lay claim to the fact
that from this day forward, you've followed your principles to the best of your ability.
 11
Help others. When you know you're kind to the people around you, and are making a
positive difference in other people's lives (even if it's just being kinder to the person who
serves you coffee in the morning), you'll know that you are a positive force in the world--
which will boost your self confidence. Just recognizing who or what you're like inside
will help you become that on the outside. Exercise helps you build strength and
confidence, increases libido, and has many other positive effects.
 12
Always keep smile on your face, that will build a lot of self-confidence

Follow the steps below to use the15 minutes before an interview to build self confidence
and go into the meeting fully prepared.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
1. 1
play music
Sensory Check. It's time to get mentally prepared. Find a good radio station or
have a power song selected ahead of time and turn up the volume. You want to
get the blood flowing and the adrenaline charged. Try blasting the air conditioner.
Cold, crisp air will awaken the senses.
2. 2
review documents
Document Check. Make sure you have everything you need before the interview.
If you forgot something, don't sweat it. It's better to know before going into the
building than to look ill-prepared inside. Check your folder for resumes, your list
of questions to ask, applications, notepad, pens, references, and transcripts. Be
able to easily access these things without fumbling through your briefcase or
portfolio. Use them only as needed. Look over the job description one last time so
that the specific job qualifications are fresh in your mind. Now is also a good time
to turn off that cell phone.

prepare mentally
Self Check. This is no time for self-doubt. All thoughts should be positive. Have a
list of your successes ready to glance over to remind you of how great you really
are. Quickly counteract any negative self-talk with positive statements. Don't feel
bad about the negative thoughts, just think of some positive ones instead. This is a
time to feel good about yourself so that you will project confidence in the
interview. If you are plagued by chronic self-doubt, fake it till you make it. Act
the part of confidence and you will soon find it is no longer an act.
4. 4
practice sales pitch
Sales Pitch Check. Practice your 25 second sales pitch one last time. You are
going into the job interview to sell yourself. Be ready to present a positive
professional attitude. Companies are looking for: a willingness to learn, an ability
to be an active team member, knowledge of the relevant job skills, an organized
thought process, and the ability to communicate well. Review this list and find
ways to communicate each of these points during the interview.
5. 5
visualize success

8.
Mental Check. Great athletes visualize their accomplishments before actually
performing them. Use this tactic before the interview. Visualize yourself shaking
hands, making eye contact, remembering names, smiling, being comfortable and
professional. If you think it, it will happen.
6. 6
restroom stop
Restroom Check. Head into the building and stop in the restroom for one last
appearance check. Make sure buttons are buttoned correctly and you don't have
food stuck in your teeth. Don't forget to smile! Wash your hands and use a lot of
soap. All employees in the building use this restroom and this soap. By using the
same soap, you will smell like you belong. It's a subconscious thing, but it works.
7. 7
interview time
Time to Perform. It's interview time. If you have followed the steps above, you
will feel fully prepared and confident. Go to the reception area and introduce
yourself. Remember the receptionist's name and use it on the way out. You've
done everything you can to prepare, and now it is time to perform. Have fun, be
confident, and be the best you possible.
