7 Tips on How to Gain
Self Confidence
There are no
secrets in this world. There are only things we do no know at
this point in time. And when you DO know it, it's not a secret
anymore. This leads me to tell you that there is only one way to
truly gain self confidence. This is by a process. You must
realize that gaining confidence has almost never happened
overnight. Of course there are always exceptions to everything
in this world. Learning how to gain self confidence is a process
and I want to tell you 7 really great tips on how to gain self
confidence.
Tip #1:
Don't care what other people think. I know you may think "How am
I supposed to do that?". Well the fact is that you can't change
what anybody else thinks. Imagine you are at a public gathering
and you have really low self confidence at that point in time.
You come home and you feel really bad because you thought you
where judged by other people. Your best friend James, thought
the same thing when he came home. Judith thought exactly the
same thing. The point is, people care more about themselves than
they care about you. So inevitably don't care what other people
think of you. You are not put on this planet to please all. It's
OK to fail, it's OK to be different, it's OK to do what you feel
is right for you!
Tip #2:
Allow being judged. This is something that can be really hard,
but guess what. In order to boost self confidence to great
heights, you must be able to do things your way and be ok with
other people disliking what you do. Again, almost everybody in
the world judges people, I judge people for sure. If somebody
tells me that I am something negative that I know I am. Let's
say ugly, or fat... I can simply laugh it off and say, "So what,
I can't change my genes and this is the way I am, do you have
something else you want to judge me by, please get it off your
chest?". See there is nothing a person can say to you that you
can't counter in one way or another.
Tip #3:
Have really strong beliefs. The two tips above come down to one
thing and that is having a strong self belief and solid ground
in your confidence. There are many exercises you can take in
order to really learn how to gain self confidence. You must get
your beliefs in order first, otherwise you will always have a
doubt in your mind somewhere. People are experts at destroying
their own beliefs by having negative thoughts. STOP negative
thoughts now.
Tip #4:
Writing your goals down on paper. People who fail will write
their goals down once, look at them, put pen and paper down and
then forget about it. People who have learnt how to gain self
confidence proceed with their goals and never ever quit. I know
this may sound harsh right now, but quitters remain quitters
until they believe they can be winners. Be a winner.
Tip #5:
Be a winner. Even if you lose at one point in time be a winner.
Even if somebody totally humiliates you, you are a winner. Why?
Simply because everybody is a winner. Everybody is good at
something. The reason you have low self confidence is because
you have been programmed to believe something that isn't true...
at all. Maybe people around you have told you that you are
worthless or too stupid to do something. Guess what, you are
not, you are a winner. You are a winner because you know that if
you set your mind to do something you will obtain this goal. You
have done it before, every single time. You just don't know it.
Tip #6:
Have extreme determination and faith. Know that if you have set
your mind to do something you will obtain it. Maybe not tomorrow
or the next day. Maybe not in 1 week or even 1 year. Learning
how to gain self confidence takes time. Some people get over
these negative thoughts and gain amazing self confidence in only
10 days. For some people the programming has taken much harder
and it takes them 2 months. Maybe you are so deep into it that
it takes 5 years? Even if it takes 5 years, when that day comes
and you know when you are there, you will feel that 5 years was
worth it.
Tip #7:
Patience. Learning how to gain self confidence is like fishing
with a fishing rod, in a way. Let me explain. have you ever
tried to fish with a fishing rod and you see something happen.
You reel in to see if something happened. You find the fish has
broke lose. You get pissed and throw it back in the water. This
happens 5-10 times before you catch anything. In the mean time
your friend is pulling up the fish every single time and he is
laughing of joy. He is patient... he knows that when the fish
bites, it takes a little bit of time before the hook is 100%
attached. The point here is that, if something doesn't work for
you, throw the rod back in and try again. When you want to give
up the most, you know you are the closest!
