"People lacking confidence, definitely watch this!"... Just by making these 5 habits, your confidence will boost!
First, take action
Most of the stress we experience comes from differences in thoughts and actions. When we have desires in our minds but fail to act on them, we feel frustrated. To resolve this, action must come first. Let's not dwell on failure. The brain gains confidence and makes efforts to continue when we take action. Generally, people who lack confidence and have high anxiety tend to worry a lot. Therefore, they delay action under the pretext of thinking carefully. However, it is much more important to confront the situation directly by taking action rather than carrying the frustration inside.
Carefully choose the subject to focus on
Our emotional state can vary depending on what we focus on. For example, let's assume I am standing in front of a lecture hall. If, during the lecture, the students in front are looking at their phones or daydreaming, I can't help but be aware of their behavior. On the other hand, if I look at students who are paying attention to my speech and focusing on the class, I can easily progress with the lesson. By using this selective focus method, you can build confidence.
Develop a growth mindset
Belief and attitude towards oneself and one's abilities are important. It is crucial to believe that I can change at any time. People with a growth mindset believe that abilities can be learned through effort and talents can be developed. On the other hand, people with a fixed mindset believe that talents and abilities are innate, both in themselves and others. However, such limited thinking only hinders personal growth. It is important not to think that it is over, but to always approach with flexible thinking. Looking at research results, there are reports that the human brain has an amazing flexibility to develop at all ages.
Managing Anxiety
Anxiety is not helpful. It is not only harmful to confidence but also affects self-esteem. Instead, it is important to transform this anxiety into energy. Experts advise that the physical and brain symptoms of anxiety and excitement are the same. When facing a situation that makes you anxious, try to tell yourself, "I am excited." Adopting a challenging mindset by saying this is beneficial. This way, you can convert tension into energy.
Check the value
My value is determined by myself. It is not decided by others. It is necessary to define oneself and clearly identify what I consider important. Taking time to write down your values and thinking about why they are important is a helpful habit. When you do so, your brain becomes stronger against criticism, humiliation, and fear of failure, and you believe you can overcome them. It is one of the good ways to protect yourself from anxiety that erodes confidence.
