Being confident is good because it can help you prepare yourself for challenges and experiences in life that you may face. Confidence can help you free yourself from self doubt and make yourself feel less anxious about things. In this article I will be discussing ways you can stay confident so you feel good about yourself and not care about what others think!
Being confident can mean many things to different people but what it means to me is having a strong sense of self assurance and beliefs in one’s own qualities. The biggest tip I can give is to stay true to yourself. When you are being true to yourself and accepting yourself for who you are you will start to love yourself more and be able to build confidence. Going on a journey to realize your self worth and how special you truly are is the first big step to being confident. A few things you can do to start your journey on how to be confident is stopping bad habits. For example negative self-talk, comparing yourself to others, accepting toxic relationships, believing you have to be perfect and ignoring achievements you have accomplished are ways that you can stop yourself from being confident, so I suggest that you do the opposite.
Staying in a positive environment with people who uplift you and encourage you to do better is a good way to build your confidence also, self esteem coach Natalie Trusdale also believes that staying in a positive environment is beneficial . Once you surround yourself with people who uplift you and care about you, you´ll get used to getting the treatment you should be receiving and you will learn not to take anything else other than that. Other ways you can stay confident is by practicing assertiveness with expressing how you feel. When you practice assertiveness and get good at expressing your thoughts clearly and respectfully this helps you learn how to communicate effectively. This also ties back to knowing your self worth because when you’re assertive you can create a greater sense of respect for yourself. Therefore being assertive and being in control with your emotions is good, so you can take control of your life and feel confident knowing you can express yourself with confidence.
When you’re confident you can communicate easier and increase your resilience, perform better doing daily tasks and increase your overall well being. Confidence keeps you in the right mind and can even help you perform better in certain situations so I believe it is good to go on a journey to find your confidence. Taking that first step to start your confidence journey can lead to you being stronger and help you grow to be a beautiful human! Nobody is perfect so don’t envy others but instead learn to love yourself and be confident because everyone is special in their own way.
