To establish true self confidence, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives. Nobody is born with high or low self confidence. Confidence is a feeling that people develop and work on over time. Confidence is something that comes and goes for most of the people. Confidence is a state of being clear headed either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. The word Confidence comes from a Latin, word ‘fidere’ which means ‘to trust’, which means having self confidence is having trust in one’s self. It is basically an attitude about your abilities and skills. It means to have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well, and have a positive view of yourself.
On the other side, low self confidence might stem from different experiences, such as growing up in an unsupportive and critical environment, being separated from your friends or family for the first time. To increase your self confidence, all you have to do is recognise and emphasise your strengths.
When you stumble on an obstacle, treat yourself with kindness and compassion. Praise and appreciate yourself for your efforts. Learn to say NO to unreasonable requests.
