Are You as Confident as You Should Be?

Are you as confident in all areas of work and life as you would like to be? Confidence is an energy or vibration that others can sense, sometimes before you even open your mouth.  Wherever you are on your journey, you have the power to improve your life by letting go of negative beliefs and self doubts on the inside, thereby changing the signal you emit on the outside.

Ideas to increase confidence, establish rapport and connect energetically with self and others:

1. Owning the fact that you have control over changing your energy level and can do something about your self-confidence level empowers you to take action. Believe that you are strong and confident, and that no one can decide for you how to feel about yourself.

2. Remember that energy follows thought. Use positive affirmations to boost your energy field.

3. Repeating to yourself that your personal energy field is vivid and powerful will naturally boost your confidence.

4. Picture yourself surrounded by a field of strong and vibrant light. Do this at least once a day. Find a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes. Imagine your best self standing in a beautiful place, surrounded by light. Take note of the details of this picture, the color of the light, the brightness of it, the warmth.

5. Don’t allow negative energy to overtake you through gossiping, complaining or self-pity. By speaking only well of others, you will appear more confident to other people, which will in turn increase your self-confidence. Remind yourself of this each day by writing it down and referring to it often.

6. Likewise, don’t dwell on your own negative attributes. When faced with a challenge, an unfamiliar situation or a stressful social occasion, don’t think about how awkward you are, how you have nothing to offer conversationally, how unattractive. Dwell specifically on your positives and on making others feel positive and appreciated.

7. Self confidence is a right you were born with. Remember that and tap into it, and don’t let anyone else take it away. When you were born, you had no feelings of being judged or that you didn’t look right or that you weren’t smart enough. You were completely secure in the fact that you had the right to exist. Remember that feeling.

8. Be aware of both your weaknesses and your strengths. Being confident doesn’t mean that you ignore your weaknesses. It just means that you don’t let them define you.
