Living the life you’ve always dreamed of begins with confidence. If you feel that it’s the one thing you’re missing, here are a few steps that will help you gain self-assurance.
Know your strengths and weaknesses. Confidence comes from knowing who you are, which means being able to determine both your strengths and weaknesses. By being in touch with both, you can make better life choices. This is also a good gauge on things you need to improve on and work hard at, helping you create a better version of yourself which you can be proud of.
Expect your success. Pessimism is not just draining: it also undermines your performance. Expecting the worst possible outcome can dampen your spirits and make you more worrisome rather than hopeful. Choosing to think that the outcome will be positive and successful helps in building your confidence.
Take risks. Ironically, taking risks helps develop us into becoming better people. There’s no confidence found in doing the same things over and over again. We develop who we are by doing things that we don’t naturally do. By overcoming things that used to scare us, we develop a stronger sense of self, something needed in becoming more confident.
Confidence also comes from having a strong support system, like your friends and family. A longtime partner of risk-takers everywhere who like taking the plunge is Nestea in a Bottle.
Nestea’s convenient, easy-to-bring bottle makes it easy to go from one adventure to another without any hassle. Coming in three exciting flavors of Apple, Lemon Ice, and Lemon, there’s one for all kinds of risk-taking adventures.
This article is like an eye-opener for me! Ive always been the pessimist one because I don't like expecting much and getting hurt in the end. But now, I came to realise that pessimism won't take me places because as you said, not only is it draining but it also undermines the performance. And i have to agree! Guess I have to be optimistic starting today! :):)
ReplyDeleteI agree. A person must have confidence if s/he wants to go places or reach new heights. You need to be positive and sure of yourself that you can achieve your goals.
