How to be self confident

Lots of people wish to become self confident and even though they do their best to apply the advice they learn they never manage to become more confident.

The problem that prevents those people from becoming confident is not that they don't make enough effort but it's applying the wrong advice the right way!!

People always get wrong advice about building self confidence and that's why their effort bring no result.

Once you get a deep understanding of self confidence you won't find any problem in increasing your confidence levels and that's why in each self confidence article i write i give more explanation of the confidence building process.

In this article i will tell you how to be self confident by explaining one of the most important self confidence building principles.

Self confidence and being larger than life

Lots of people mistakenly believe that self confidence is a feeling they should get during a certain situation that they encounter, for example being confident while talking to a stranger while in fact self confidence starts at home before you even leave your bed.

If you feel helpless because you can't solve your life problems
If you are unhappy with your achievements or progress
Or if you are unable to manage your life well

you will be feeling defeated throughout the day

These feeling of defeat will affect all of your social interactions during the day. You might become anxious around the people you don't know just because you were already feeling helpless and defeated.

How feelings of defeat affects your self confidence

In the Solid Self confidence program i said that self confidence is divided into areas and that you can be confident in a certain area of your life and in the same time lack confidence in a different area.

The one fact i didn't mention yet is that your current beliefs about your ability to face your life problems is an area that affects all other areas!!

So if you are feeling helpless in your life then these feelings of helplessness will show up while you are talking to a friend, approaching a stranger or even making a presentation. (see Why do i feel anxious).

So, How can you become more confident?
Forget about people who told you that affirmations or positive thinking are the solution to the lack of confidence problem.

Face your life problems, don't escape, learn new skills and keep fighting until you feel that you are in control of your life.

Once you get that feeling your self confidence level will get a strong boost.
