No matter how rich, healthy, or happy any one person may be there will always be a blue day where you don't seem sure of anything. Applying motivational practices at these times would bring your self confidence levels up and make everything a little brighter.
Of course, there are hundreds of ways of how you can pick yourself up during troubling times, such as joining a support group or seeing a counselor. But why wait for other people to help you when you can easily do it yourself? Just by thinking positively, you can learn to be more confident than you ever thought you could be!
Erase Negativity and Watch Your Confidence Grow
Negative thoughts hold us back from accomplishing our goals and without a positive outlet you can never overcome these challenges and better your life.
For example, if you are feeling nervous about delivering a speech or performing on stage, no good will come out of anticipating every bad thing that could possibly happen. Instead, you have to take some time to gather your wits, take a few deep calming breaths and maybe recite some affirmations that will help you get rid of your negativity. Once you do this, you will be able to accomplish your task with more ease.
Acknowledge Your Successes
Praising yourself for what you have achieved so far is another great way to motivate yourself and increase your self-confidence.
- Did you just finish a project? Do you have happy and healthy kids? Did you recently get promoted? Any and all of these are reasons to praise yourself.
Take Pride in All Your Skills and Successes
- Whatever you are good at is what makes you special. Whether it be playing tennis, painting, playing the guitar, or singing, it's all unique to you.
Obstacles are not easy to overcome but overcoming these obstacles is what makes you grow as a person.
Positive Self-Talk
Some people have the notion that motivational talk will make them seem crazy, especially if people see them constantly talking to themselves out loud in public. This does not have the case though. Simply thinking of motivational thoughts should be enough to create major changes in how you perceive yourself.
Take a moment everyday and find a quiet place. Take out a pen and paper. Then write down all of what you accomplished the day before. Then write down everything you are good at.
Looking at this list everyday helps you realize that you have many things to be proud of.
Take this list with you where ever you go. Then every time you are feeling blue take out your list and read it to yourself. This will surely raise your confidence.
Feel free to alter your list as you add to your accomplishments. The longer your list is, the more effective it will be in raising your spirits.
The Benefits of Reciting Affirmations
Reciting affirmations to yourself, even in the privacy of your bedroom, may feel awkward and funny in the beginning, but as you get used to it, you will see the vast improvement it can make in your personality and in your life in general.
Negative situations are bound to arise but it's how you react to the situation that makes the difference.
Each person will experience unpleasant emotions and situations at some point. The important thing is learning how to get over these situations in a healthy and positive manner.
Other people may be able to help you somehow in boosting your self-confidence but ultimately, you will be the one responsible for motivating yourself and giving yourself a better life.
