- You must first believe in yourself.
You are the center of your own life. You are the one who gets to write your story.
Without your belief in yourself, you cannot move a single step forward.
2. Practice Positive affirmations
Saying to yourself ‘I can do this’ is completely different from ‘I cannot do this’.
The voice that tells you, you cannot do it is subtle and silent. But it has the loudest voice, because it is preventing you from doing anything.
Mute it.
3. Be conscious of your Self-Talk.
You might not realize it, but you might be your own worst critic.
You might be the one who tells to you constantly that ‘You are not good enough’, ‘You are not confident enough’.
If you become aware, if you become conscious of your inner dialogue, you can catch the thief in your mind.
4. Face your Fears.
As Robert Frost said in his quote:
“The best way out is always through.”
The only way you can overcome your fears is to face them.
Look them in the eye and you will be able to say goodbye to your fears.
5. Give the Negative people in your life the Red Card.
You and I have a short time on this Earth. Why waste this precious time we have with those who keep on dragging us down?
You must choose to let go of people who are not encouraging you to be confident.
If they are not empowering you, they are doing the exact opposite.
There is no middle ground here.
Give them up.
6. Surround yourself with a supporting squad.
Every one of us need people who empower us.
Who encourage us.
Who pull us up when we fail.
Who stand by us in moments of failure.
Go and look for such kinds of people.
If you are not willing to look for them, they will not magically appear on your doorstep.
7. Take mistakes as Lessons.
Here is a quote that undoubtedly tells us we should take mistakes as lessons.
“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.” Steve Maraboli
