There are another way to build self-confidence:
Many ways you can do to increase your confidence in the long run, but sometimes we also need measures to increase confidence in a short time. You just did not seem able to walk into an important meeting with a book of guidance on self-confidence, or call your mentor at the last minute.
So I try to share the following to you a few tips that can improve your self confidence quickly in a matter of seconds:
1. Smile
Smiling is 1 second tips if you feel nervous and insecure. You do not just smile when you feel happy and confident, otherwise you can smile to make yourself feel better. Smiling is closely linked to positive feelings that it's almost impossible you feel uncomfortable when you smile.
Smile more than just show the expression on your face. Smiling releases endorphins hormone that makes you feel better, increase blood circulation in your face, make you feel comfortable with yourself and of course can increase your confidence. You also will look more confident in front of others when you smile.
2. Face-to-Talk Your Opponent's eyes
As with a smile, Look at the eyes of all people in the room. Give your smile and be sure they will reply to your smile, and smile given others can increase your confidence quickly. As with a smile, eye contact shows that you believe in yourself. Staring at your shoes or table to encourage a sense you become hesitant and shy. These tips are very useful to the work situation; make eye contact with the person who interviewed you, or people who attend your presentation.
"Eye contact helps you to remove the fear if you're speaking in public and getting closer to you with your speaker. Stress is the feeling that comes from something that is alien and can not be controlled. Eye contact gives the speaker a picture of reality which is none other than the speaker itself. Eye contact also helps you attract the other person. "(Confident Eye Contact, Unlimited Confidence)
3. Transform Your Inner Voice
Most of us have a voice in saying that we are stupid, not quite able, too fat, skinny, noisy, quiet, etc.. The ability to change the voice inside of you is the key to gain confidence from within. Make yourself a voice in support of the most familiar friend you and know your talent and your desire to achieve excellence.
4. Forget Standard Who Defined Others
Regardless of the situation you are experiencing a crisis of confidence, you can help yourself by holding on to the standard you have. Other people have different values with you, and no matter how hard you try, you can never satisfy everyone all the time. Do not worry if people call you fat, skinny, lazy, boring, stingy, stupid, etc. .. Hang on the standards you have, not the standard that everyone else has. Remember the values and standards which have generally different in the community; you do not have to accept the values and standards just because the people around you to accept it.
5. Serapih probably arose
Although you only have a little time, go to the bathroom to make sure you look neat. Comb your hair, wash your face, fix your makeup, straighten your collar, make sure no food residue on your teeth. All this can make the difference between self-confidence to your appearance and your fear of your appearance.
"Improve your physical appearance; already a fact that one's appearance plays an important role in building confidence. Although we know what we have within us an important, your physical appearance determine the impression people have of yourself. "(Building Blocks to Self-Confidence, Complete Wellbeing)
6. Pray Or Meditate for a moment
If you believe in the Almighty, said a prayer can increase your confidence (you can also do meditation but pray.) This step helps you to step back a moment from a fast paced situation and seek help from the Almighty. Here is a sample prayer, but you can write something similar to suit your religion or belief:
"Dear God, thank you because you have to love and accept me .. help me to do the same thing .. and help me to grow up to be according to thy will, so that self-esteem will be increased, all for the glory of thy name and not my name. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen. "(Daily Encounter, Strengthen Your Self-Confidence, Acts International)
7. Reka Birthdays
If something happens beyond your expectations, it is fairly easy to shake your confidence. Maybe you spill your drink, late attendance at an important meeting because of traffic jams, or someone who wants you to talk to give a cold response. Try to "they repeated" the situation and place it on a more positive situation. Often an event to be negative because of our own perceptions.
8. Determine Your Next Step
If you are not sure what you should do, find one simple step that can help you to move forward. This may be done by making eye contact at a party, introduce yourself to strangers, breaking the ice in a meeting, or ask the person who interviewed you to demonstrate your knowledge of the industry and their company.
Begin to act even if you do not have a clear picture of what you should do. Move toward your goals. Corrections yourself next time.
9. Speak Slowly
A simple tip for your looks or become more confident is to speak slowly. If you speak too fast, you will feel bad because you realize you talk too fast. Speak slowly gives you a chance to think about what you will say next. If you're talking or doing a presentation, stop for a moment at the end of a phrase or sentence to help people digest what you say.
Speaking slowly show one's self confidence. Someone who was not worthy to be heard will speak quickly, because he did not want to make other people wait for things that are not worth listening to.
10. Join Take Part
Have you ever sat all day in the classroom or in a meeting without saying a word? Do you ever go out with your friends at night when your friends talk excitedly while you just sit and stare at your drink? The possibility that happens is you do not feel too confident at that moment - and maybe you'll feel more uncomfortable after the evening. Whatever your situation, try to take part. Even if you feel there's not much you can say, your mind and your perspective is very valuable to the people around you.
By trying to talk at least once in each discussion group, you'll become a better speaker, more confident to express your thoughts, and recognized as a leader by your peers.
