Hi I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog author of Navy SEALs shooting and one of
the top 20 most frequently asked questions I get is how can I gain
confidence in myself now start your timer as I share with you five ways you
can gain confidence in today's five and under 5 FAQ
Crysta
all right so becoming a more confident person is really easy if you know what
to do so hopefully me sharing these five techniques with you is really going to
lay it out and make it easy because confidence is like a muscle if you work
it it's going to grow and get better so number one on that list is to practice
by simply practicing whatever you want to gain more confidence in you're gonna
get more confident in it there's something called the confidence
competence loop and what that means is they've discovered this in psychology
that the more confident you get in something so the better you get at
something the more confident you get at it you are going to next time you go
shoot you're gonna remember you're gonna oh yeah I am pretty good at this and
that's gonna start a snowball effect where you get better and better and more
confident as time goes on number two on the list of becoming more confident is
positive self-talk and this is sometimes called affirmations so if you are
telling yourself that you are not a good shooter that is gonna make you not a
good shooter if you're telling yourself that you're not confident guess what
you're gonna not be confident so why not just change the story that you tell
yourself we all talk to ourselves okay the only ones that are crazy are the
ones that do it out loud and stand in a corner so I wouldn't recommend doing
that but definitely inside your head tell yourself hey I'm a confident person
or better yet be confident enough to actually look yourself in the mirror
look yourself in the eyes and have the confidence to do that look yourself in
the eyes and tell yourself that you're confident and don't tell me it won't
work unless you've tried it so go out there and start talking to yourself
number three on the list is exercise physical exercise is going to just pump
you up it's going to get the blood flowing through your body and no matter
what is ailing you exercise is going to make you feel better and it's gonna help
build your confidence number four is to take chances put yourself out there in
situations that maybe you were a little afraid of before maybe if you're afraid
to go on a roller coaster you go on a roller coaster and discover that you
know what this isn't so bad and now
you're going to build confidence on that and whatever it is face your demons take
chances and you will become more confident all right number five and this
is my biggest one it is to keep promises to yourself so what do I mean by that
well we all make promises to ourselves every single day we wake up in the
morning and say I'm going to exercise today I'm gonna meditate today and then
later on you run out of time and you don't exercise and you don't meditate
and now you just lie to yourself and we remember this and if we can simply keep
those promises to ourselves you are going to become so much more confident
is going to be amazing so keep those promises to yourself and I promise you
it is gonna skyrocket your confidence all right that is it for today's FAQ
