- Trust and love yourself. For
one month, try being your best friend instead of your worst enemy.
How do you treat your best friend or your children? I’m sure a lot better than
you treat yourself. Give yourself the gift of kindness.
- Coach yourself.
Everyone needs a little support and encouragement. So, when you find yourself
struggling, consider what you would say to someone that you really believed in
if they were feeling the same way you are. When self-doubt starts to creep in,
take a few minutes to coach yourself.
- Think about how you would like to act. Think about how you would think and behave if you were full of self-confidence.
- You can effectively borrow traits from others, too. Who are some of your heroes? Sometimes it easier to imagine others dealing with a situation than to imagine ourselves. See yourself acting the way your hero would act.
4. Remember all your past victories. We’ve all accomplished some impressive things, but we’re quick to forget them. Grab a pen and some paper and list all the successes you’ve experienced in life, no matter how great or small.
- If you need help, ask a trusted friend or family member. You might be surprised at what you hear.
Self-belief isn’t about becoming arrogant or turning a blind-eye to one’s flaws. The belief you have in yourself needs to be focused on what you wish to become. You can have weaknesses. Everyone does. But there is value in being relaxed about your weaknesses and working to strengthen them.
A strong belief in yourself is a sure ticket to reaching great success. Build your self-belief and impossible tasks can become routine.
