    How to increase your self-confidence

    How many times have you failed a project because you weren't completely sure what you were proposing? How many times have you missed a good opportunity simply because you didn't feel completely safe? This is something that has happened to everyone at one point in our life because, sooner or later, to a greater or lesser extent, we all experience some degree of insecurity and do not feel fully confident in our abilities.

    The point is that the way we feel greatly influences our way of living and dealing with the most diverse situations. For example, if we are sure of ourselves, we will probably spend more time enjoying the things we prefer to do in the company of those around us. On the contrary, if we are insecure, perhaps we will spend a lot of our time being consumed by doubts and avoiding socializing with other people, perhaps for fear of making mistakes.



    Self-confident people are willing to face all challenges, because even if they know they can fail, this prospect doesn't scare them. But those who are suspicious of each other give up the fight even before starting because they prefer to stay in their comfort zone, where they feel safe.

    As you can imagine, be sure if it offers many benefits. And not only because more ambitious goals can be reached, but also because you live more fully and feel more satisfied. The good news is that self-confidence can be developed. Like? Here are some very simple and easy to implement strategies.

    1. Make a list of your skills, qualities and strengths. Are you enthusiastic, creative, generous, kind, intelligent…? Often people who don't trust their skills aren't even aware of their abilities. So, take some time to think about your strengths and write them down on a piece of paper. This will help you learn to value yourself more. Another problem is that these people place little value on their skills and qualities. They often think they are generous and selfless, but these qualities are not important to them or are not as fundamental as being intelligent and outgoing. However, it should be borne in mind that each person is unique and this is precisely what makes us interesting. We all have something to offer and any quality or ability no matter how small it is important, you just have to find the most appropriate place and the right time to express it.
    1. Focus on your well-being. Focusing on the things that make you feel good to gain self-confidence is essential because when your mind is relaxed and in complete balance with your surroundings, your defenses start to drop and you feel much more secure and confident. In fact, the main problem with people who don't trust their abilities is that they are too focused on others, always thinking about what others say or think about them, and try to do everything to please them instead of focusing on what they are. it makes them happy. An excellent technique for learning to focus on yourself is to do breathing exercises. Find a quiet place where you can sit on the sidelines without being disturbed. When comfortable, close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply, inhaling and exhaling slowly. Gradually a strong feeling of peace and deep well-being will develop. Repeat this exercise at least 10-15 times. When you are done you will feel much more relaxed and you will notice that both your mind and your body are calmer.
    1. Trust yourself. It may seem trivial, but the truth is that very few people put into practice what they have learned and, therefore, find themselves stuck in their path of personal growth. To increase self-confidence, one should set small goals that can be achieved in a relatively short period of time. When you reach them, treat yourself to a small gift to celebrate. At this point, more ambitious goals can be considered. But the technique will always consist in fragmenting them into many small objectives that can be achieved step by step, in this way you will feel that you are advancing, and you will be motivated not to abandon the path. Every time you reach a goal, let yourself be overwhelmed by the feeling of satisfaction.
