Self confidence is a skill that everyone can develop. It’s not something you’re born with, and it doesn’t just come from knowing yourself or having experience in a particular field. We all have the ability to increase our self confidence, but we need to know how!

10 ways to increase our self-confidence

Practice self-affirmation.

Self-affirmation is a technique that helps you to feel better about yourself. It’s a way of reminding yourself of your strengths, and it can help you overcome negative thoughts or beliefs.

There are several ways to practice self-affirmation:

• Think about what makes you happy when alone in your room or at home.
• Write down 3 things that make up who you are (your name, age/gender/race).

Once this has been done, read through the list and find something positive about each thing on the list—for example: my eyes are blue; my hair is brown; I’m tall for my age; I like reading books by authors whose names start with P or Q—and write this down as well (for example: “I am smart.”).

Be mindful of your body language.

Body language is one of the most important tools you can use to improve your self confidence. It’s a form of communication, and it can help you feel more confident, build rapport with others, and even predict how someone will respond in certain situations.

To be mindful of your body language:

• When interacting with others, watch their facial expressions and body position—for example, whether they’re looking at you or not
• Pay attention to what other people say as well as how they say it (is this person speaking quickly or slowly?)

Give yourself a compliment.

One of the most powerful things you can do is to give yourself a compliment. It’s important not to be too effusive or vague in your compliments, but rather specific and positive. For example: “You are so smart!” or “I like how easy it was for you to learn this song today.”

It may seem silly at first, but taking the time each day to give yourself a compliment will make all of those other small actions easier later on down the road when they require self-confidence as well—so practice using that mirror while giving yourself small doses of praise!

Trust in your abilities

You can do anything you set your mind to. You have the potential to achieve great things and be successful in whatever field of work or study, within a short time frame. You are capable of achieving your goals and dreams through hard work, perseverance and dedication.

Your self-confidence will grow with every accomplishment that you make, so start believing in yourself today!

Do a good deed.

A good deed is something that you do for someone else, and it can be as simple as giving the cashier at your local grocery store a smile. You’ll feel good about yourself when you do something nice for someone else, which will make you more confident in general. And if your act of kindness makes another person happy, then it’s even better! So go out there and start doing some random acts of kindness today!

Stand tall and take up space.

• Stand up straight and take up space.
• Be assertive, confident and don’t be afraid to take up space.
• Don’t be afraid to be the center of attention!

Participate in an activity that you are good at.

The second way to develop self-confidence is by participating in an activity that you are good at. This can be as simple as playing a sport, taking up a new hobby or even just getting out of the house and going for a walk.

You don’t need to worry about what other people are doing – there’s no point comparing yourself with them or trying to impress anyone else! Just focus on yourself and do whatever makes those 10 minutes fly by the fastest (and easiest).

Remind yourself of your successes.

• Remembering your successes

The first step is to focus on the things that you have done right, rather than focusing on your failures. This will help you feel more confident in yourself and put into perspective the things that are going well for you (and there are plenty!). If this isn’t an option for you right now, physically writing down any success stories or positive experiences can also be helpful – just make sure they’re as detailed as possible, so they don’t slip away over time!

• How to remember successes without looking back at old photos or videos:

For example: You may have forgotten how much fun it was when someone complimented or praised one of your accomplishments; however if they said something like “you rock” then try visualizing that moment so that it becomes tangible next time around.

Take action towards a goal that you believe in.

There are several things that you can do to help yourself develop self-confidence. One is to take action towards a goal that you believe in. Focus on what you want, set goals that are measurable and achievable, and then set a schedule for achieving your goals.

Next, write down these goals on paper or into an app such as Google Keep or Evernote so that they’re easy for you to access later on. Finally, make sure every step along the way makes sense—for example: “I will start working out three days per week by doing cardio exercises at least 30 minutes each day.” You’ll need patience here because it takes time before results show up (and sometimes longer than expected).

Talk about your accomplishments, not your failures or shortcomings.

• Focus on what you have done well.
• Focus on the future, not the past.
• Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t do.
• Keep a journal of your accomplishments and failures so that later in life, when times are tough and things aren’t going as planned (or as hoped for), there will be something to fall back on if/when needed – even if it’s just an idea or two from one of those journals!

Self confidence is something everyone can build with the right techniques!

It’s true that self-confidence is something everyone can build with the right techniques. But what are these?

• Self-affirmation: This is when you say to yourself “I am good at this!” or “I am smart enough!” or even more simply, “I love myself.” You do this in a positive way by affirming your strengths and abilities rather than focusing on what you don’t like about yourself such as your weight or how much money you make.

• Mindfulness: When we’re mindful of our bodies and feelings we’re better able to recognize how we feel about ourselves because our thoughts aren’t clouded by other factors like stress levels or sudden changes in moods (like when someone asks if there’s been any news lately). Mindfulness helps us become more aware of things going on around us without judgement so we can make better decisions based on what matters most – not just what seems easiest/fastest/best right now but also long-term goals too such as saving up enough money towards retirement so next year won’t be such hard times anymore…

Bottom Line:

Building self confidence isn’t easy, but it doesn’t have to be. With these tips, you can apply the right techniques and start building your own confidence! Practice self-affirmation as much as possible—especially when you feel like giving up or starting to doubt yourself.

Be mindful of your body language and give yourself a compliment whenever possible. Trust in what you do well and take action towards goals that are important to you. Remember also how important it is not only to believe in yourself but also others seeing your best side as well
