Hey friends how you’ll doing? Well, you are with me Niharika and what do we have for
you today? Well, I’m gonna help you with some tips to instantly appear confident. So
confidence, why would you want to appear confident? Well, of course because this is one of the
most important skill that we need to acquire. Confidence even a little bit of confidence
makes a difference in our daily situations. So it’s time to take pride in yourself and
let’s have a look at some tips that would help you to appear confident.
One of the mostimportant things that I would like to share with you when it comes to confidence is make
your body language work for you. Now imagine if I slouch and if I try to teach you something’s,
would you be really interested? Now eighty percent of first impressions are dependent
on your body language, Oh yes!! if you do not have a good posture, if your body language
isn’t that great, people are not gonna be impressed and would be least interested in
you. Now at times slouching would give you backache, so why do you wanna be in trouble?
Why do you wanna be in pain? Have a good posture when you are talking to someone. The other
things that you really need to keep in mind is having a good eye contact, so make sure
that you make an eye contact when you’re talking to a person, make sure you also use
your hand gestures to enhance your verbal statements and also smile when you are talking
to someone. So if you are talking with someone with a straight face that would not be great,
so smile when you are having a conversation with people. The most important thing that
you need to keep in mind is put in efforts to make your body language work for you.
The next thing that I need you to keep in mind is slow down. Well, when we are a little nervous
while having a conversation with people or maybe when you are in a meeting talking to
your clients or probably when you are on the phone talking to someone if you get a little
nervous you tend to speak very fast, your voice goes up few notes and you start mumbling
and rumbling. Now whatever you say is not gonna make sense to the other person who’s
listening to you, so it’s time to calm down take a deep breath and use pauses as an advantage
for you, when you speak slowly you’ll be able to gather your thoughts and you’ll
be able to come out more clearly and make the other person understand what you are trying
to say, because if you get nervous, if you tend to speak way too fast, people will fail
to understand you. So take a deep breath, calm down, relax and speak.
The next thing that I would like to share with you is to develop a confident lifestyle. It’s time
to look good and feel good. So how do you look good and feel good? Well, firstly maintain
good hygiene, you don’t wanna come out as a stinky person. You think people are gonna
like you if you smell bad? No people are not gonna want to have a chat with you, they would
never be interested in talking to you. So it’s important to maintain a good hygiene,
it’s important for you to take a shower daily, oh yes!! and to keep your nails and
your hair very neat and tidy. So you would come out as a very confident person. Another
thing that you need to work on is maintaining your health. How do you do that? Well, you
need to sleep well and eat healthy food, yes eating too much of junk food is gonna show
up on your face, you’re not gonna look that great and therefore it’s gonna hit your
confidence, because if you do not look great, how are you gonna appear confident? So maintain
good hygiene, maintain good health, so that you come out as a very confident personality.
The next tip that I have for you is get out of your head. Well, yes we went through some
physical changes and now it’s time to see what’s going on inside. So it’s time to
get out of your head, so here when I say this, what I mean to say is you know at times when
you get a little nervous and you don’t know what to say, the fear and the anxiety just
shows up on your face, and that’s because we have these little tiny lizards that get
activated in our brains. Yes these lizards are absolutely responsible for your fear and
for the negativity and of course for the anxiety that shows up. So stop thinking what others
will talk about you or what others would think about you. It’s important for you to feel
confident from the inner side, if that confidence shows up things will be so much better, so
don’t care about the people, don’t bother too much about other people and just come
out as a confident person. Deactivate these tiny lizards, who are troubling you way too
much. And how do you do that? Well, just couple of examples that would help you to work on
this, you know when you have a meeting or a presentation, many people keep practicing
till the very last moment. Well, you need to quit doing that, if you think that yes
you have rehearsed well, you have practiced well for this meeting or for the presentation.
Then the next thing that you need to do is get busy with something else, get a little
occupied by doing some other things. And then just go ahead and go for the presentation
or for the meeting. In this way you would come out as a very confident person. There
would be no nervousness, no anxiety, no fear. Another thing that you can do is the moment
you find a person whom you can have a conversation with just go ahead and approach that person
immediately. If you give more seconds to yourself those lizards will be activated and that nervousness
would come out. So just don’t think too much go ahead and start having a conversation with other people.
And the last tip I would love to share with you is seek more and more
opportunities to talk more. Oh yes!! I love talking. That’s exactly the reason why I
encourage people to talk more, now you can start having conversations with strangers,
of course try to have some meaningful conversations. Now to do so start practicing or start working
on the topics that you would really like to talk on with strangers or with other people.
The more and more you get into talking, you are gonna appear more confident. Another thing
that you can do is, well when you are in office don’t just stick yourself to your office
desk, move around take these short breaks, move around on the floor start talking start
building up a good rapport with other people and again this would also help you to gain
lot more of confidence, because you’re talking, you’re having conversation with the others
and people are really liking it , but again make sure you are having meaningful conversations.
So go ahead!! What are you waiting for? Grab that opportunity to talk with several people.
