It can often be hard to believe in yourself, especially if
you feel like you have nothing to offer or are unworthy of things. But you are
worthy and you are capable. If you're having trouble seeing all the amazing
things about you, then read the article below to start building confidence in
yourself and get ready to show the world how great you really are!
·
Recognize
your skills. Recognize the skills that you have and the good things about
yourself. There are lots! You may not always recognize them but they are there.
One way is to look for the things that you don't struggle with or to look for
the things that people compliment you on (even if you aren't very good about
accepting the compliment). When you look at the things you do well, you'll feel
more comfortable doing other things too.
·
Meet
goals. Set goals for yourself and meet those goals. Actually go out and do
things. Just thinking about what you want to do will only make you feel worse
about yourself for not even starting them. Once you do make a goal, work hard
to achieve that goal. Keep in mind, however, that these should be reasonable
goals. Even if you make small incremental steps toward your ultimate goal, you
should acknowledge each level of accomplishment. Achieving a goal, however
small, will build self-esteem.This creates feelings of empowerment.
·
Learn
from failure. Instead of viewing your failures as failures, view them as
learning opportunities. You did something wrong so that you know for sure it's
wrong and now you'll have an easier time knowing what's right. Everything that goes
wrong in your life is an opportunity to learn and move forward towards a better
place, so embrace it.
·
Try, even
when you feel like you can't or shouldn't. Sometimes we feel like we
shouldn't do something new because we might do it wrong. This is a bad mindset.
Instead, give yourself permission to try something, even if you might get it
wrong. If you never try new things, you'll never be able to make progress. Stop
fearing the unknown and start challenging yourself to learn more.
·
Talk to
people who love you. If you're really having trouble seeing all the wonderful
things about yourself, you can always talk to someone who loves you. Tell them
that you're having a hard time and they will find a way to bring you a better
outlook. Sometimes we have difficulty seeing the best things about ourselves,
but the people that really love us will never struggle to see those things.
·
Take
breaks when you need them. If a situation or a task is just too overwhelming,
feel free to take a quick break to catch your breath and remind yourself that
you can do this. Even if the break is just inside your head, it's okay to stop
and acknowledge that you need a minute to build back your determination.
·
Do
something you believe in. Another thing you can do to help yourself is to
do something that you believe in. Do something that you know is incredibly
important and that you know needs to be done. Whether it is for yourself or to
help others, being forthright in your actions helps build self-confidence and
drives your sense of purpose. Once you start putting your energy into things
you are passionate about, your beliefs will align with your actions and you
will feel more and more confident each day.
