What is the secret to self confidence?
Live in a positive reality. Positive thoughts and words alone won’t make you a more confident person, but confident people do think a lot of positive things about themselves. Remind yourself of what you’re capable of and what you’ve already accomplished. Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind (your self-esteem) and belief in your own ability, skills and experience. Being true to yourself. Being nice to yourself. Setting healthy boundaries. Forgiving yourself when you aren’t being true or nice to yourself.
