How To Gain Confidence In 8

Steps I always admire people who know how to gain confidence and proudly

show it. It’s always an attractive trait especially in leaders. We see

confidence in super heroes, the top sports athletes, world leaders,

entrepreneurs…everywhere. However, not everyone proudly possesses

it. Some people are proud and confident with themselves…while others

are not. Can you relate to this?

Let’s say you’re at a party. Everyone is having fun talking to each other

while you’re at the side just looking at everyone. You’re there thinking

of what to do, say or if you even should stay in the party. Has this ever

happened to you? If yes, then it looks like you need to know how to gain

confidence.

If yes, then keep reading. This post will show you how to gain

confidence in 8 steps. In my teen years, this was an issue for me. I ended

up struggling with the stupidest things ever. I dedicate this post to

anyone who struggles with how to gain confidence. Know that all you

have to is a few simple tweaks.

How To Gain Confidence In 8 Steps

1. Work On Your Mindset

The first step to knowing how to gain confidence is to work on your

mindset. Know this, our minds are extremely powerful. It can either be

our most powerful tool or our weapon of mass destruction. What I’m

saying is…”The quality of your thoughts will determine the quality of

your life.”

If you see yourself as just an Average Joe…even without trying anything

outside your comfort zone…then you are. However, if you believe that

you’re special…that you’re YOUnique…then you are! There’s a big

difference in terms of outcome if you doubt yourself or when you’re

confident in yourself.

I read this from a meditation book and it always stuck with me…

“Mental pictures are true events to the body.”

2. Obliterate The Negative Thoughts

This is still part of mindset but I’m making this part of the 8 steps simply

because it’s that important. Negative thoughts can literally cripple a

person. Stop looking for the bad things in life. Eliminate complaining,

nagging, moaning, whining or playing hide and seek with bad news. See

the good…the beauty…everything…everywhere…it’s all over. Embrace it!

Just make sure you’re watching where you’re walking or else you might

walk straight into a pole. lol

3. Focus On Personal Growth

When you’re not making progress or doing anything in life, you will fall

into depression. You will see yourself and feel like an utter failure which

is why most people who enter retirement get depressed when you’re

not actively pursuing anything, you feel like you’re dying on the inside.

Activity = life. In order to live, we need to move.

If you truly want happiness and confidence, then focus on creating

progress with yourself, your relationships, and your business…or

whatever it may be. Just keep moving forward. Personal growth is a

critical step on how to gain confidence. Take a look around you. The

people who are the most confident are always growing and creating

progress. Read books, listen to audio tapes, and attend

seminars…grow! There’s greatness within us all. We just need to allow it

to grow and to grow, it’s our responsibility. Click here and see how

personal growth can affect your finances.

4. Seriously…Stop Worrying!

It’s useless. I can go on forever on how useless it is but I won’t waste

time on that. Let me give you an example on how useless it is. Have you

ever worried about something so hard to the point where you can eat,

sleep or function like a normal human being anymore? Then the time

comes and what you were worrying about never even seemed plausible

at happening. Then you got that look in your face, you scratch your

head and you immediately feel stupid for wasting all that time

worrying. Has this happened to you? I know I’m guilty. It’s the stupidest

thing ever! Worry…the evil that NEVER arrives.

Here’s a good take on how to gain confidence by stop worrying:

Guest Blog Post by: Angela Moreno www.peccosa.tumblr.com/

“Worry is focusing your attention on your fears repeatedly. It is a habit; a

form of conditioned thinking. Worry is a waste of time and energy. It does

absolutely nothing to change what you are worried about. It is also

destructive. It causes a great deal of stress, which is unhealthy physically,

mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Worrying simply reinforces the fear

you already have in your life. Fear is paralyzing and keeps you away from

living your life to the fullest.” – www.PaulCrouse.com

5. Be Success

BE SUCCESS. Think of it…Dream of it…Act like it…BE IT! This is where the

subconscious mind comes into play. Once you start putting yourself in

the shoes of success, even when you haven’t achieved it yet, your

subconscious mind instantly gets re-wired. You change your posture.

You change your attitude. You change the way you do things. You

change the way you see things. Everything changes. Become the part.

Here’s a good take. How to gain confidence by being Success:

“Your purpose is the fuel for your vision. But you shouldn’t try to “discover”

it. Instead, ENTER it. If you haven’t found your purpose, it may be hiding out

in an unlikely place.” – Christine Kane www.christinekane.com

A good practice boxing greats like to do is called “Shadow Boxing”. What

they do is they close their eyes and envision themselves in the moment

of their title bout. They see the opponent, they feel the intensity, they

hear the crowd and they taste the victory. They box one-on-one in their

minds seeing every move even before it’s made. What happens when

the real fight happens…well, they usually win which is why they are

considered greats. Envision yourself achieving your dream. Feel it, see

it, hear it, smell it and taste it. Your subconscious mind will guide you

towards success. Are you ready for success? Click here now.

6. Learn How To Speak

You’ll never truly know how to gain confidence if you can’t speak to

people. Shy people are not confident people. You need to socialize,

connect and network. It’s for your own good. What I like to do is shoot

video blogs. I know it’s different from talking to other people, but it sets

the mood. You know other people are watching. Subconsciously,

shooting videos of yourself wires your brain and prepares you to speak.

I feel more comfortable speaking in front of a number of people thanks

to this.

Don’t be scared to talk to other people. You may even meet the love of

your life if you haven’t yet. Just take the plunge. Nothing bad will

happen. If it gets awkward, move on and laugh at it. lol That’s what I do.

Success is a people thing. If you’re not good with people, then you’ll

never be successful.

7. Brand Yourself

This is happening all over us these days. We have popular bloggers,

Viners, Instagrammers, YouTubers, and so on. These people know how

to gain confidence. Branding yourself subconsciously tells yourself that

you believe in yourself an in your skills. It wires your brain telling it that

you’re valuable so this is critical especially in this century.

Branding yourself is easy these days. You can start a YouTube channel

and shoot videos about anything you’re passionate about (You may

even get paid), start a blog (Click here if you want your own blog and

learn how to make money blogging like I do.), write ebooks, start

podcasts, the list literally goes on and on.

When you brand yourself, people will recognize you and they will

appreciate you for your efforts. I tell you the most fulfilling feeling ever

is when someone tells you thank you…that you’re an inspiration to

them. Your story could be key to spark and transform a life. (Click here

8. Recognize Your Value

Successful or not…you’re valuable. We all have a purpose in this world.

If you want to know exactly how to gain confidence, then look in the

mirror and see the most valuable thing in your life…you. Realize that

people care for you and you should do the same to yourself. Respect

yourself. Admire yourself. Know that you are valuable. Believe that you

are extraordinary. Anything anyone else says is straight up B.S.

Now you know how to gain confidence! Show the

world your greatness!
