Confidence can be an issue for many people and part of the problem is we don't know how
to build confidence.
In this video, I give you 5 psychological tricks to instantly feel more confident.
1.
Face Your Fears - Often fears to the most crippling factor
to confidence and our perception of ourselves - By facing fears we feel a sense of control
and comfort, as we experience what we're afraid of and normally it's rarely as bad as we thought
it would be - The sense of control helps us instantly
feel more confident and in control of a given situation
- To increase safety, FBI agents are taught to move closer to the threat, as it does no
good to avoid, deny or ignore the fear
2.
Remove Limiting Beliefs - Our confidence can be directly linked to
what we believe in ourselves - For example, for many of us when we're children
we don't have many of the inhibitions and doubts we gain as we grow older and become
adults - The reason for this is we react to our experiences
in life and often want to avoid repeating painful experiences, thus feeling a sense
of incapability when faced with similar circumstances - Our environment can also shape us, but it's
vital to understand you can change, you can grow and you can learn, so don't limit yourself
to what you think you know about yourself
3.
Be Objective - When we remember experiences we've had,
we often associate strongly with the emotions we feel rather than focusing on the reality
of what happens - What this means is our perception of that
particular event is shaped from how we felt, skewing our understanding of what actually
occurred - However, this memory of events may miss
critical details or misunderstand the reality of what actually occurred at that time, thus
losing confidence - So it's important to be as objective as
possible, as doing so you focus more on the facts and can use that to learn and grow from
for the next time you're faced with a similar event
4.
Have an Optimistic Outlook - We often focus in life on what's negative
as we try to learn where we go wrong and what not to do in the future
- This was a necessity for us in the early days of man, where we were faced with a situation
of the wild and had to ensure survival in the wilderness
- While learning from negative experiences is of value, it can overwhelm us to have a
negative or cynical outlook in life - Instead, focus on the positive and be more
optimistic, understanding that we're no longer in the wild and can dream to live life not
just to survive
5.
Remove Self Doubt - If you lack self confidence, you will always
feel like you’re at the mercy of other people - This is because you feel a sense of insecurity
and don't feel that you're in a position to be considered of value to others
- Taking on a victim mentality in this way will make you less likely to push through
obstacles placed in front of you in life - So understand, you're going to have challenges
in life and it's important not to doubt yourself, instead overcome self doubt, overcome the
obstacle and grow your confidence
