How to be More Confident (5 useful tips)

If we look up the meaning of confidence, it refers to: “the feeling that you can trust, believe in, and be sure about the abilities or good qualities of somebody/something”. Nouns like ‘trust’ or the verb ‘be sure’ are related to confidence. This term can have a huge impact on yourself and your surroundings. 

But why is confidence such a powerful word and feeling?

Some say confidence is like a muscle and you just have to train it and be consistent until you finally end up becoming a confident person; others may say that you are just born with it while others claim that the circumstances of your life shape you as an individual with confidence.

Whatever the explanation of what makes someone confident might be, undoubtedly, there are a few tips that we all can implement into our daily lives so we can boost our confidence levels and start improving our lives as well.

1. Recognize your insecurities

The first step to come up with a solution to your problem is to, before anything else, recognize the problem. The same happens with confidence. When we are feeling insecure about something or we think we lack confidence, it is important to be aware of the things, people or external factors that are creating that feeling.

Once you know what is triggering you, it won’t feel as overwhelming.

2. Be kind to yourself

Think of the many times you have provided advice or given compliments to your friends and family. Were these kind and positive comments, weren’t they? That’s how you should talk to yourself as well. 

Whenever negative thoughts or insecurities come to mind, ask yourself why they might be arising, and try to change them into positive self-talk. 

Positive affirmations videos, or podcasts are a great way to improve your self-esteem  and be present in the moment.

3. Stop comparing yourself

It is said that comparison is the thief of joy and for sure, there is some truth to that statement. Comparing yourself to other people who might be more successful than you, wealthier that you or apparently happier that you, can leave you feeling frustrated and unsure of yourself.

Practicing gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to stop comparing yourself to others. Being grateful for your life, for what you have makes you feel lucky at your current situation and makes you appreciate all that you have achieved so far.

4. Acquire new hobbies and skills

As we mentioned previously in the beginning of this post, confidence is linked to a new skill or ability. That’s the reason why one of the best ways to improve your confidence level is to start a new sport, hobby or any activity you are passionate or curious about.

Developing new skills for any  kind of new activity will translate into a growth in your confidence. Don’t try to be perfect at it, however, try to become better and better each time; this is a competition only with yourself.

5. Embrace your uniqueness

Beauty standards have changed significantly during the years. In today’s society, the number of non-invasive procedures using Hyaluronic Acid fillers have grown exponentially and it is common to want to change your face or body drastically.

However, the use of Hyaluronic Acid fillers can help you increase and boost your confidence. Facial and body fillers are not made to change the way you look, unless that is what you want; instead, using Hyaluronic Acid to enhance your features, embrace your shape and contour some parts of your body are a great solution to accentuate your attributes and characteristics that makes you who you are.

Taking care of yourself, not only in terms of appearance but also to feel good on the inside is essential to become a more secure person. That will transfer to everything you do in life: how you perceive yourself, your energy at work, your motivation, passions and how you treat others.

The path to discover how to be confident is not easy, but try to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
